Nice video with a great bike in it 🙂 I had an Intruder C800 K9 (2009-2020) and again got a 2003 VL800 Volusia earlier this year. For the price, these beasts have little to no competition, in terms of comfort, power, reliability and hell, even the looks. Ride hard & ride safe.
@5:03 - Dock Mike's - was just there this past Saturday. There's a 2004 Volusia for sale here in Delaware with bags, pipes, windscreen, etc. and 44k miles for only $2k. Thinking hard about it!
that s how much I paid for my 2002 pipes only. Mine has 15k miles now. I would go for it. It is a nice and comfortable bike for cruising. I just upgraded to 9" mini apes few days ago. It feels much better. I will try to post a new video with them.
by the way in this video mine was running a bit rough. It was backfiring whenever I was letting of the gas and I was so angry when I got home because of that. Turned out it had a cracked vacuum hose at the fuel valve. Changed it and it was fixed.
You’re right! The idle was so high and the bike kept popping and I couldn’t understand why. I was playing with the ilde screw. However, when I got home I found out there was a cracked vacuum hose. I have replaced that and everything went back to normal.
My Vance and Hines makes the same pinging noise on the exhaust that you showed at the start of the video. Is that normal? I’m brand new to all this and not sure if it normal or not! Thanks
Are these good as highway bikes? I'm thinking about maybe getting one, but plan on 2-upping and having some highway runs. I know it won't be the "ideal" bike, but is it down right impractical?
Yes, they are, no doubt. They could do 75mph all day long man. I always ride with my girlfriend and we went to a lot of trips including highways. I usually do 65mph and still have a lot of throttle for passing cars in case I want to do let s say 90. I bought a honda vtx 1300 and indeed I can feel the diference of a more powerful bike but I would still take my vl800 for a highway run anytime
the only mod are the vance and hines pipes. Everything else is stock. That's how I bought it. I am not sure about the carb's needles size but I'm pretty sure the stock ones are on.
@@misuffk7604 I did 12inch apes, new paint, pegs no floor boards, and spark plugs and filter while I had tank off. Oh yeah took baffle out. It’s loud not like yours
There you go brother: KEMIMOTO Synthetic Leather Motorcycle Saddlebag for Sportster Street Glide Electra Glide Touring Model, Universal, Black a.co/d/fFuXa16 But i honestly do not recommend them. After a year (and not everyday use) they re in a pretty bad shape now
