Most Recent Pictures of my Star

rusty rider · 05-30-2009, 07:53 AM

I've done quite a few mods to my Star since I last posted:
1. Cobra Drag Pipes
2. K&N Air Filter
3. Running Lights
4. Mustang Seat
5. 4" up 1 1/2" back risers
6. Needle and shim on carb
7. Crash Bars and Highway pegs
8. Sissy Bar
9. Luggage Rack
10. Several more tool and storage bags

My next big mod will be a hyper charger, just couldn't pull the trigger on the $ yet

Looking really good there RR. I just want to remind you that it's very easy to spend more on a bike than it's worth.

Not that I would know anything about pissin' away money on motorcycles..................

Also, pass on the HC (junk). Barons has some neat Yammy stuff. I did my Roadstar there. http://www.Baronscustom.com Their Big Air kit is the best.

Keep up the good work.

Looking good there RR. Added storage pockets make a world of difference for small items. Now you can do some real long tours with all the small items in their own storage spots. I can't seem to get along without 3 large hardbags anymore.
Would like to make a suggestion from a safety standpoint. You have the right idea with added running lights but "I" would mount them on the crash bars. Two reasons for this: one, you have a more recognizable triangular pattern for cagers to see. Two, they are close to the signals and may washout the signal when it is flashing. I did this to Lynda's M-50 and it is very visually in your face. Not knocking your efforts in any way, just want you to be the safest you can be.
