Hello everyone,
Just bought a 08 V Star 650 Classic yesterday and I am loving being back on a bike after a 9 year void. A little about me, I am 50 years old and 5 foot 6 inches tall. I am really liking the look of a touring bike. I am thinking of getting a some gear to turn my bike into something like a Road King. Any thoughts and has anybody all ready done this?

Welcome from Houston Texas. Many here have Batwing fairing and hard bags on their 650. Works well for most. Just remember the 650 doesn't have neck breaking horse power or toque and the extra weight of accessories can effect bikes available power to weight ratio. Here's a few interesting threads to check out when you get a chance.
