903CC V-Twin SOHC Engine: • Smooth and reliable engine tuned to deliver a healthy dose of torque at low rpm • Gear-driven balancer allows use of single-pin crankshaft without excessive vibration • Rubber mounted to reduce engine vibration at all speeds

Four-Valve Cylinder Head: • Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow, creating more power and low-end torque • Single overhead cam design is simple, lightweight and practical • Long intake tracts narrow near the combustion chamber to increase intake flow speed for more efficient filling, increased torque and better low-end response

Positive Neutral Finder: • Just lift the shift pedal from first gear at a stop to easily find neutral, every time

Electronic Fuel Injection: • Superb performance and rideability thanks to dual throttle bodies with sub-throttles • The ECU controlled sub-throttles are located behind the main throttle valve, allowing the DFI® system to provide more precise throttle response, similar to a constant velocity carburetor • Fine-atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for optimal acceleration, combustion and fuel consumption

Kevlar-Reinforced Belt Drive: • Lower unsprung weight than a shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action • Efficiently transfers power to the rear wheel • Cleaner and lower maintenance than chain drive

Double Cradle Frame: • Very rigid, large-diameter box section backbone allows for a larger fuel tank, high stability and lightweight handling at low speeds • Fork offset and frame geometry combine for light, low-effort handling at low speeds • Long wheelbase contributes to highway stability • Triangular swingarm has a hardtail appearance, but utilizes a single shock hidden beneath the seat • Long and low chassis for minimal seat height, maximum visual impact

Low Stepped Seat: • Ultra-low 26.8-inch seat height allows riders to easily plant both feet on the ground at stops • Laid-back riding comfort for two • Detailed with half-inch diameter chrome plated brass studs

Tank-Mounted Speedometer with Turn Signal Indicators And Caution Lamps: • Provides riders crucial information at a glance • Compact design matches the bike’s clean look

Disc Brakes: • Both the 300mm front and 270mm rear rotors feature twin-piston calipers for great power and feel

Windscreen: • Robust, optically correct, acrylic plastic windscreen is shaped for smooth airflow • Strong chrome-plated steel supports enhance cruiser style • Adjustable height

Saddlebags: • Carefully selected top grain cowhide with minimal flaws and deep dyed for a long-lived finish • Slant top opening lid, with two 1.5-inch wide leather straps, chrome buckles and hidden quick release fasteners • Dual panel lid construction with embossed Vulcan logo detail • Half-inch diameter chrome plated brass stud accents • Metal reinforced upper edge so bags hold their shape • Rolled and riveted lid minimizes water entry
