Accessories for the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD

The Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD is a cruiser made for unhurried riding, whether that means everyday journeys or a longer run out on the road. Accessories for this sort of riding are less about turning the bike into something else and more about making time in the saddle comfortable, managing the wind and looking after it between rides. For the 1997 Vulcan 500 LTD, there are several ways to focus on those practical details.

What riders usually fit to the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD

• Mirrors: on a cruiser, mirrors are prominent as well as useful. Their position affects how easily you can keep an eye on traffic when moving between town streets and open roads.
• Protectors: these help guard exposed parts of the bike during slow manoeuvres. That is worth considering if you regularly park in tight spaces or wheel your Vulcan around before setting off.
• Handlebar accessories: the riding position matters when you are happy to take the long way home. Details around the bars can make the controls and cockpit feel better suited to your regular journeys.
• Screens: a screen helps take some of the wind off your body on faster stretches of road. It is particularly relevant if your Vulcan sees weekend rides as well as short trips.
• Bike covers: covering the bike while it is parked is a practical option when there are days between rides, especially if the Vulcan is not kept inside.

Think about where you spend most of your riding time. Mirrors and protection may matter most if you often navigate town and parking spaces, while a screen becomes more appealing as your road trips get longer. The aim is to make the 1997 Vulcan 500 LTD work for the journeys you actually take, while keeping its relaxed cruiser character.
