DescriptionHead-turning Looks Miles of Attitude
Who says you can’t have a well-deserved attitude and still be practical? Owners of a Vulcan® 1700 Vaquero® bagger have the best of both worlds. The traffic stopping good looks will make you smile every time you throw a leg over this blacked beauty. A frame-mounted abbreviated fairing sets the stage while the swoopy tank leads the eye to the shapely luggage of this V-twin bagger. The multi-textured blacked-out engine and chassis treatment includes components (like the air-cleaner cover wheels fork assembly and tank cover) that would normally be chromed leaving only a special few parts (engine guards exhaust mirrors etc.) to receive plating and act as bright accents to either the Metallic Flat Spark Black or Two-tone Candy Burnt Orange (SE model) paint.

the throttle grip remains connected to cables so the feel at the grip is the sameTwisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motorAccurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)APS and TPS send 2 sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failureElectronic Cruise Control SystemSystem maintains a desired speed even on uphill climbsCruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebarCruise system can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mphPressure on the brake lever clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control as does manually rolling off the throttleOn Board DiagnosticsDiagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700System displays codes on the instrumentation which can be read by owner6-speed Transmission / Final DriveDurable and easy-shifting 6-speed transmission with positive neutral finder5th and 6th are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speedsCarbon fiber-reinforced final drive belt offers a 40 percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar beltsBelt drive system is quiet efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chainChassisThe strong steel frame allows a relatively short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverabilityThe Vaquero frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal to help keep weight in check.
