Fall on the James
- From: vasoftball5

Description:
For weeks now, i've been trying to get out to the bend at James to take photos of the fall foliage. Usually, the colors are really vibrant with yellows and reds. Unfortunately, the weather was poor the last few weekends, and a flu illness kept me down. Finally, the weather kept up its end of the bargain, and the wife and I got to take the trek.
Route 5 is a really great ride. Nice and curvy, without too much traffic. The shadows from the sun being low in the sky keep the temperature down a bit, but it was warm enough this weekend to ride down without the leathers.
A few weeks back, we took Route 5 from Williamsburg up to Richmond, and found the overpass at the James was astounding. So, we were going back down to get shots of the fall foliage.
Sadly - it's a little late, and most of the brighter colors have dropped. But the shot here I got from the pinnacle of the bridge. Wanted to share with everyone.
Keep riding and keep alive everybody. Here's to a short Winter and an early Spring.

Scootworks rear pully & Big Ai
- From: keithjsutton
-
Description:
Just wanted to let youall 900 Custom riders know about something unique!
I purchased and installed a Scootworks rear pulley (about a 5% increase to the gearing) to my 2008 Vulcan 900 Custom over a year ago and really like some things. Most people buy the front pulley because its cheaper but I wanted to replace that rather ugly stock pulley with some chrome.
Installation wasn't much more complicated than taking a tire off for rubber replacement. The only tricky part is getting the pulley tension right afterwards as you can't just mark the previous setting, and the factory recommended setting, using a Harley tension gauge, was way too soft. Ended up having the shop do a quick adjustment.
#1 - Great!! My speedometer is reading right on, as measured by gps.
#2 - Oops! My gas milage dropped from 50 mpg on my daily commute to about 46 (well actually it didn't, because my prevcious 50 was based on a speedometer reading that was about 5-6% off).
#3 - Great! The bike is much happier running at 75 actual (about 69) indicated before adding the pulley so freeway riding is much more enjoyable.
#4 - Ooops! while there still was plenty of power for 2 up loaded, hill starts and freeway hills (no downshifting necessary even on the steepest), I did notice a substantial increase in the time it took to rev up between shifts.
Now this is not all bad as the stock shifting was soo short I somtimes skipped a gear. Now it actually shiftes more like a motorcycle instead of a truck - more like the Kawasaki Vulcan 750 I previously had.
#5 - So I purchased & installed the Barons Custom Big Air Kit (had one minor problem with an "extra" air hose connection - contact me for more detail) and it provided a very noticable power increase, with the shift period droping back into what I consider a very appropriate and fun range. I "compete" just fine with cars and other bikes while shifting is a much more enjoyable than stock.
#6 - Great net impact on milage - I often get 50 mpg when cruising around 70 actual. My commute milage is about 47 and hasn't increased as much because the bike was fine lane splitting in 5th gear at 35 before the pulley, and now it really wants to be doing a little over 40 to excellerate quickly, so I tend to keep it in 4th gear more.
So now all I need is a muffler system that will give me a boost without requiring ear plugs. Anybody have any recommendations yet?
BTW - coming up on 36,000 miles without a problem! Awesome bike!
