Man, you one lucky guy!! Happy for you, 65 deg, there are a ton of us out here slobbering to get back on the road, and it wouldn't even take 65, that would be t-shirt weather for me and others I'm sure. Try not to rub it in too hard.Well I had a good day, 65deg, sunny, nice for a ride. Two days a go i bought a driver back rest off of ebay for 45$(vstar 1100). Mailman brought it this morning. Maybe 5 min to in stall. Only 50 or so miles today but so far(okie word) I like it.
Doug, Sugar Bear would be tickled s------- with a 53, have fun and think of us, with snow, ice, salt, sand and general gunk on the road, glad some of you folks can ride on! we will, sometime.
I've been looking at that backrest as well. How is the fit and finish, and does it work as well as I hope it does?Two days a go i bought a driver back rest off of ebay for 45$(vstar 1100).

But the fit & finish is up there with Yamaha Factory I think. I have only road about 50 miles so fare, but i like it and maybe on a longer trip I may have to bend it a little this way or that way. I wish I wood have bought one a long time-ago
Thanks for the update... the mail man should be delivering mine todayWell it was a nice day here in OKLAHOMA. Spring is upon us. Road 200+ mile up and down OLD ROUTE 66 today seen a lot of bikes also. As for my new back rest, it felt good, put my feet on the road pegs and rolled. This is a good buy.
Way back in the 70's I put 1000's of miles on a Honda 250 and the 500 on/off road bikes in the Houston area as work bikes. This is something that the wife and I can do to gather. She rides the 650, with 15'000 or so miles now we will do are first long trip about 1200miles a five state run and it should be fun. I do miss the dirt bikes but not the terrafirma in my
Installation was tuff, maybe 10 min, (that included a beer break). I haven’t had a chance to ride it yet, but I’m definably going to like it. Quality is good, I’m very happy with it. I purchased one with the studs.
the kit is mostly just a different kind of plate that you screw onto the intake and a much larger air filter that is exposed 360 degrees, and the front cover with a nice 'X' design. the stock filter you're replacing is so restrictive that i'm not sure how any air gets into the bike with it, but i did love the design. the instruction manual for the LA kit claims that no fuel processor is needed if you install it, but i really don't believe that. (if you get this make sure you have some loctite red or blue handy because the kit doesn't include any)
Jacking a thread is not right
