Roll Your Own

Convert Your Vulcan 1500 Classic

Mustang Studded Touring Seat

     You say a Nomad isn't in your budget? If your current cruiser fits well, you can convert it for the long run with a few changes.

     Heading out on a coast-to-coast ride is a big deal, or so I'm told. To me it felt more like having a week of Sundays to play. I was so ready for a long ride, so wanting to be in that anywhere between here and there, I might have ridden out of Florida on roller skates if fate hadn't rustled up a custom Vulcan 1500 Classic

     Having a Vulcan Classic to profile on during Daytona Bike Week was ideal. It was undressed just enough to fit right in. And the bike remained a dedicated boulevard cruiser until the day before I left, when a few bolt-on goodies transformed it into a cross-country tourer...

     Mustang’s Studded Touring saddle was magical on the ride. I mean it. Not for one single second of the 34.46 hours I used to cover 2565 miles did my butt hurt. Not once. I couldn't believe it, nor could anyone I checked in with regularly. "Does it hurt yet?" they'd ask. I've never, in all my seat time, had this experience. See, I basically have no butt, just bone, and this lack of padding can make eve a day-ride a pan. I simply must have one of these seats in my life...in my office, actually.

     When you add it up, it didn't take a lot of stuff to convert the Classic into a virtuous touring vessel. All totaled, this particular makeover cost around $2,000 (see breakdown). And best of all, you can always undress a Classic.
