Here's mine! All cleaned up last year.




And here she is on her first camping trip!!

Welcome to the site neilybob! It's great to see someone else who does even more with their Vulcan than just carry passengers! I never even considered using it to carry firewood before you posted your pictures!

Pretty blue on your 500. First time I've seen firewood in saddlebags...

Thanks GeorgiaRider - I was a little unsure of the colour at first but its growing on me!

Thankfully I didn't have to travel too far with the firewood, just across the campsite!

Mine is the same year but is new to me. As you can see I purchased it in the fall & haven't had a chance to get it on the road yet. I still have my GZ 250, so plan to move "up" slowly. We burn wood for heat here, so it's tractor & loader for us in that department@@

dang, wish mine was that color blue. very nice color. but of course, the 2009 model only came in red. maybe i will just have to paint mine. nah, maybe in about ten years.

thats a nice bike! its got a lot of power for a 500. and i have to assume that the later models are even more powerful. my bike looks just like that only mine has a sissy bar and a passenger back rest.

Ironically, they lost about 10 horsepower after 1995. :3 Larger carbs and ninja pistons before that.

Don't forget the less aggressive cams too. I'm not 100% sure but I thought the EN500A had the same cams as the ninja too. I know the EN500C definitely has different cams from the ninja.
