Greetings, all! I'm a new rider in Tampa, FL, and I love my Yamaha V-Star 950.

The poor thing needs a little work (previous owner did some very odd things), but it certainly is something special to me.

I look forward to seeing what all the fun here is about!

Welcome from Houston, Texas. Ride often and safe.

Previous own did some odd things huh? Dare I ask...?
Like putting chain-oil on the drive belt. . . which I am suspicious about whether they ever had it adjusted. . . it's all chewed up and tracking quite badly.

Plus the rear brake caliper isn't sitting properly around the rotor. . .

I will be putting plenty of work into the bike over the next month or so.


Anybody know of a stylish top-case that matches the 950?

Yikes. Weird about the chain oil.

Top case like a trunk? Keith Post added one with back rest. I saw another member added a sport bike styled top case. I just use my soft Nelson Rigg tail bag on my passenger seat to keep documents and accessories. Will fit a bag of groceries etc. :)
