Cool seat. One thing I've learned is if I can make it, then make it cuz it often is less work than buying something not suited and fucking about trying to make it work. Home made pan you can put mounts on any way you like.

Buy yourself a dremel. I would have drilled 2 holes and dremel cut between them.
Also is that a seat mount part? Its like a cryptic puzzle working out where it goes.

Motor issues at moment. Started coughing and fluttering while riding on way to work (not far from work); similar to running out of petrol and needing to be swapped to reserve. Got about 17k out of the 18k to work before it started doing it. Range of 50, 70, and 100kmph roads.
Died right as I coasted into parking space.
Seems front cylinder isn't firing.
Cable on front lead came off boot when I went to take boot out of cylinder.
Fucking around with it during my breaks, though not much time to do work on it.

Did you get this sorted? The petcocks are vacuum controlled, so they turn off when there's no vacuum (like engine not running). I think they can go faulty, and changing it to reserve can diagnose it, as the reserve setting isn't vacuum controlled and the bike will then run ok. A blocked fuel cap vent can also cause it, but doesn't usually go away when you turn to reserve, but will be ok for a few k's after opening the fuel cap and closing.

Look man, at the risk of being a bit frank, ( & with due respect for your fabrication efforts).. just how does this dunger meet..

Seems to me.. its kinda like the "Holy Roman Empire, neither holy, Roman , or an empire"..
Now if you'd change the title to something along the lines of 'How to overcapitalize a clunky ol' wannabe H-D Japper' - fair enough..
..or even.. 'My take on turd polishing, but yeah, fair enough, laugh if you must'..
Be honest, eh.. or at least give us another laugh by attempting to explain why you put up that pretentious title, ta..

It's a good thing that you have respect for Lone Rider's fabrication efforts, as there's not much respect in the rest of your post. Not everyone likes H-D, or can afford a H-D, some may even prefer Kawasaki anyway. As for the modifications, he can do what he likes, when he likes, and it may not be costing much to do, seeing as he's doing most of it himself as far as I can see. There's plenty of people that throw major amounts of cash at their projects, and if they get what they want at the end of it, who cares? As long as they don't make you buy their project, why would you care?
Don't have a go at someone because someone else's bike doesn't live up to your expectations, I think we need a little less of the brand and quality put downs and more of the "good on you for having a go to get what you want". Who knows what it might end up as at the end of the project?
As for the title, the bike is a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic, so the title has nothing to do with the age of the bike, so I don't see a problem with the title.

Don't know Lone Rider, but some things I like about his build, some I could pass on, but I don't think it's my place to put his ride down. I guess you've never heard the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it", especially when it's uncalled for...

Bit more header pipe work
From this pic it looks like you might be heading towards doing a 2 into 1 exhaust. Are you just banging something together with the pipes, anything goes. Or are you doing anything to ensure good exhaust length to match the pulses? Or have I misjudged your intentions and to do 2 pipes as it had stock?

Thank you Just A wanker for yet another inane comment.
I have read and reread your comments to enable me to understand how your keyboard is analyzing things.
Apart from your comment about LR fabrication skills everything is negative.
Not everyone has your taste in the perfect ride and thank fuck for that
If I wish to add Yamaha jog scooter fairing to my 996 then that is my choice.
Nothing to add to LR build as he is doing it as he wants it and so far looks all good to me.
If he was asking for advice then Im sure it would be forthcoming.
Feel free to report me and give me red rep.

I dare you to do a thread showing you desecrating a 996.. & await the comments you'll draw for doing so..
But, of course that proposal of yours - is simply an "inane comment".. since you actually have some obsolescent ol' shitbox..

Are you taking the piss out of gsxr - Rambi?
Or are you really just as ignorant...
FYI, A-B is correct about that.. & you'll see the same if you check out most any dungery ol' V-twin with a 2-into-1 pipe..

I was merely asking a simple question. Yes oid Vtwins run fine with unbalanced exhausts but if I was going to the extreme that LR is i would want some extra performance out of it as well
Unless of course you just want the blip blop pop bang pop bang pop of an unbalanced exhaust.
Merely asking a simple question.
Myself If I was going to the trouble of building new headers I would build them balanced but each to there own.
That is what is great about motor cycles we all have our differing oppinions and preferences and can customise,modify,performance modify or bling them out to our own needs or preferences

Are you suggesting that LR should add a 'balance' pipe between the headers straight across, under the intake air-box?
You do realize that those V-twins do not have even firing intervals, (unlike your Suzuki), & it aint no Britten..so, for such sluggard it doesn't really matter..
Opinion does not come into it either, 'cept in the aesthetic looks depts

Cool. Tip for custom seats. A orbital sander will help smooth and shape the foam. Once tidy glue a topping layer of thin foam on top - the smoother the base foam is the better the vinyl will look once stretched over it.

Did bit more to this last summer(ish).
Just paint work, and some stuff got rechromed.
Paintwork I tried putting my branding logo on it but didn't like it. And frankly I still prefer my custom builds to have my kids handprints on them rather than branding.
Paint I did was purposefully "wrecked", but has been heavily clear coated over. Still a bit of scaling left on it, but it's all sealed up good. Looks real old now - a bit like those 2018 Fender relic guitars
