Hello From Duluth, Georgia
Hi Everyone,
My name is Jon and it has been six days since my last ride. I just bought a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad FI with only 9,000 miles on it. I really like it and am looking forward to making a few upgrades to it. It came with Vance and Hines Bagger Dual Exhaust already installed. I love this user group and am learning a lot of things from fellow Kawasaki Bagger riders. I want to put a better air intake system on my bike, and from what I read, will need to put some type of fuel management system on it as well. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Welcome aboard from just a little NW of you in Cartersville, GA. You are correct, you will need some type of fuel processor if you open up the intake.

Thanks. Nice looking bike. I like the blue and silver color combination. Is there an intake system that you recommend?

Thanks Framer,
Did you get the single-plate or the dual-plate Chuckster intake? |

That 1st and 3rd link is from a site called gadgets fix it, and if you haven't already, bookmark it, it is full of info on the 1500/1600s
