Let me know if you want to sell the Jardine System. Have one on my wife's Rebel 250 and I like it. Would like to have one on my Vulcan.

Here's my '94.

My 94. It's a rolling restoration.

Wow!. Never been the first one in a new forum area like this. My name is (H.W.) Sandy McCullough. I live in North Carolina and I own a 94 Vulcan 500. My wife and sons also ride and have their own bikes. Anyone in the Raleigh area that wants to take a short ride on the weekend, give me a shout. SandMan
