I recently sold a Vulcan 2000 that my wife and I rode around the state of Nebraska - Pike's Peak, etc for a total of 4500 miles without any problems. I had 3 other Vulcans before that for a total of 90,000 miles and again NO PROBLEMS!!! I have recently purchased a new 2005 Deluxe with paint peeling off the front fender and a 2006 Street Glide that has been in the shop for radio problems and now a wiring harness that they cannot seem to find time for me or my problems - SAME OLD HARLEY. AMF years might have been better.
