Suzuki Intruder VS 1400

#1 Unread post by iisjunkie »

Bought one of these recently and have been doing what I can to make it something I can use every day. I will post pics soon but the things I'm wondering about are:

1) Has anyone changed the seat on this bike? I have the mustang one with the chrome beads on it but I think I would like one that sits a little lower and has a backrest - anyone?

2) Wondering WHY IN THE WORLD - they didn't put a Gas Gage on the stupid thing and if anyone has found a solution for bikes that don't have gas gages?? I like the bike but I wasn't a fan of running out of fuel on the side of the road.. I seriously was waiting for the light to come on.. LOL

3) I replaced the clutch, the back tire (next larger size), rear rotor & brake pads. Is it just me or does this bike naturally have issues?

4) Looking to add saddle bags - any suggestions on what kind will work and do I need the saddlebag mounting bar thingy to add bags to the bike.

5) some reason it didn't come with a windshield so I'll keep you posted as to what I end up with.

Any help would be great...
