Chassis
* The steel double-cradle frame uses a cast steering head mated to a large-diameter, box-section backbone.
* A 32° rake and 10 mm fork offset deliver
very balanced handling characteristics, making the Vulcan 2000 both highly manoeuvrable at low speeds and very stable on the highway.
* Steel pipe swingarm features a truss structure for high
stiffness.
* Triangulated swingarm design with hidden single-shock gives the rear of the bike the look of a custom rigid.
* Large tapered roller bearings are used in the steering head for high
stability and high chassis rigidity.
* The use of castings around the steering head and forged parts around the
swingarm pivot results in a clean design, with less welding and very high rigidity.
Styling
* The Vulcan 2000’s signature feature is the stunning streamlined headlight nacelle housing a “gatling” projector-beam headlamp. A conventional bulb located
below the three projector lamps is used for the high beam.
* When the high beam is on, all four lighting elements are illuminated for increased brightness.
* Large, single-bulb tail lamp uses a
bright, Fiflex reflector for high visibility.
* Step-motor driven instrument console is slim and lightweight
* Large-faced speedometer features an easy-to-read LCD display that includes a fuel
gauge and warning lamps.
Suspension
* Massive 49 mm forks tubes ensure excellent steering feedback and contribute heavily to the Vulcan 2000’s good-mannered steering.
* Direct-action
single rear shock, adjustable for both preload and rebound damping, is hidden under the seat
 Brakes
* Dual 300 mm front brake discs are operated by 4-piston callipers for powerful braking.
* Slowing the rear wheel is a large-diameter 320 mm disc
operated by a twin-piston calliper.
Other
* Ignition switch allows on-position key removal, preventing key bunches from damaging the top of the headlight nacelle’s chrome finish while the bike is in
operation. Turning the ignition switch collar to the “off” or the “park” position (illuminating the tail lamp) turns the engine off and necessitates re-insertion of the key to restart.
* Large
21-litre fuel cell
* Self-cancelling turn signals.
* The Vulcan 2000 is conveniently designed to allow the oil level to be checked while sitting on the bike using a dipstick attached to the oil
cap.
* A variety of optional accessories will allow customers to customise the Vulcan 2000 to suit their personalities and riding styles. Windshields (in a variety of sizes), a backrest with rack,
thicker rear seat, passenger footboards, side bags, engine guards, and a light bar are just some of the options being planned.
* Low seat height of 690 mm
* 200/60 tyre at the rear on sixteen
inch rim.
* 150/80 tyre up front on sixteen inch rim |
