Upgraded!!!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I just bought a 1999 Yamaha v-star 1100.I liked my Honda 800 but didn't like how scarce parts are for this model (VT800) Also wasn't a fan of the 4 speed trans.I can't wait to get out & try the Yamaha.First the drag bars gotta go.Maybe O.E.M. or something with a little more pullback.The custom Candy apple Metalflake is what really caught my eye.Only down fall I see is that exhaust has to be removed to change the oil.There is a relocation kit but it is close to $300.00.Anyone have any experience with this model??

Good for you. There are lots of aftermarket stuff and a lot of satisfied owners of the 1100.

Glitter cherry red... Damn that's pretty.

You should build a 1950's diner around the bike. Bar stools can polished aluminum...

Well done.

Congratulations! You can't go wrong with a VStar. As you know I have the 650. My next door neighbor has the 1100. The first oil change will be hard for you. After that it's a piece of cake. My advice is put a Baron's Bar or other brand crash bar on it. You'll be glad you did if/when you ever drop it. It'll keep it off your leg if you go down. Good luck with her.
