FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Big Bike Power
The VN900 Custom's 903cm3, liquid cooled, 4 stroke, V-Twin fuel injected engine with fine atomizing injectors offer great, big bike style. The finely tuned engine supports the low and mid range, making it easy to get rolling from stop and allowing the rider to short shift 'big bike' style. Ample torque gives the Vulcan 900 Custom superior acceleration in the mid speed range and the smooth, efficient belt drive is low maintenance. | |

Handcrafted Spoke Wheels – The True Essence Of A Custom Motorcycle
The VN900 Custom has handcrafted spoke style cast wheels shaped to form an elegant 3D double flanged design, appointing the VN900 Custom as a true custom machine. A Massive 180mm rear tyre gives the Customs rear section a solid, planted look, contrasting the tall light looking front end. The 15" rear cast wheel contrasts the light, tall front wheel, contributing to the Custom's dynamic design. The VN900 Custom is equipped with front and rear disc brakes. | |

Crisp, Clean Lines By Design
Designed with custom styled looks in mind, the one piece 'gunfighter' seat comfortably accommodates rider and passenger. A minimalist design and lots of chrome contribute to the clean, lightweight front end. The chrome tank, mounted instrument console featuring a large face speedometer and fuel gauge is slim and lightweight, contributing to the bikes elegant lines. Elegant bodywork and engine covers were designed by hand, resulting in shapes pleasing to both the eye and touch. | |

Chassis
Chassis geometry was designed to offer riders a combination of stability and undemanding control at ultra low speeds. The ultra comfy low seat combined with a frame that is slim beneath the seat and a fuel tank that tapers at the rear, makes it easy to reach the ground with both feet and facilitates easier maneuvering around parking lots. | |
|
Curvacious Exhaust
Aggressive, dual slash cut mufflers give the Custom a rebellious feel. Initially designed by hand, the curvaceous exhaust pipes look spectacular when in full flight or parked on its stand.
