How big is the rear tire on a Kawasaki Vulcan?
My other bike is a 03 Honda Shadow Ace Classic 750,just half the size of my 1500 classic and has a bigger rear tire than the 1500 that fills up the space under the fender!

What kind of tire do I need for my Vulcan 1500?
I replaced the 150/80 Dunlop Elite II in my 1500 Classic FI with a 160/80 Dunlop Elite 3. Recommended rim is 3.5″. Tire has 26.10″ diameter and 6.10″ width. It also made the speedo more accurate. You could always add a mudflap on the rear fender to hide the tire.

What should tire pressure be on Kawasaki 1600?
Not enough pressure makes tire to wear off quicker. This was said by motorcycle tire mechanic in tire shop. The owners manual for the 1600 Classi says tires should be inflated to 28 psi front and 36 psi for rear. That seems a bit low to me, and when I got it from the dealer both tires were around 36 psi.
