New Paint
December 28, 2010 | 
Author Or part thereof 
Just started respraying the bike, it’s now a deep blue metallic with the beginnings of a Gitana/Flamenco dancer on the tank, with the Cross of Asturias (Cruz de la Victoria) on the rear guard. I knew it wouldn’t take long before I decided to change the old paint job 
Didn’t like it – starting again 2-1-11
Just gotta add the faces and a few tiny touchups and this is done.
FIN – FINISHED – YAH-BLOODY-HOO
Surprise Surprise – well I am at least. . .
It just struck me as I sit here listening to Diva (Chilean prog/rock/folk band), that I’ve now owned the XVS1100 for 18 months, painted it four times, swapped the bars around so many times I’ve lost count, put the sissy bar on, take the sissy bar off you get the drift 
This is it in its current form, but thinking of NEW paint

Eeeeeeeep
5 months since I last wrote on here tsk tsk tsk – might start using it more, that’s why it’s here. Below is the new look for the bike, I was bored it’s yellow pearl over a custom green – the bars are Harley.
Photos and more of the Vulcan
Spent the last few days going through the Vulcan like a dose of the clap and to be honest it’s a little shabbier than first thought but in saying that it’s nothing I can’t fix providing my back don’t give out
Right so what have I done? Drained the oil and replaced it along with the oil screen and filter with new stuff, ripped off the “ears” but after pricing the necessary bits to set it up with K&N’s I decided to stick the “ears” back on (well I’ll do that tomorrow) – this is becoming a nightmare for spare parts costs.
A new toy spelt TORTURE!! – Part Seven
Well this is the second last post on this little epic. It’s painted, buffed, wheels painted yada yada – just gotta get the exhaust’s level fit the exhaust covers, fit the painted panel set, oh and sit back n wait for the grips I ordered but apart from that oh and polish it it’s done.
Don’t look to bad for 1400 bux
