2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000

The big cruiser has a simple swing-arm rear suspension with a direct-action single shock and 3.9 in. of wheel travel. The front suspension relies on substantial 49mm forks and the front wheel has 5.9 in. of travel. Dual 300mm front discs with 4-piston calipers slow the front wheel, and the rear wheel is kept under control by a single disc clamped by a 2-piston caliper. The rear tire, by the way, is a 200/60R16.
