bike was delivered bone stock to me on 10/14/2020. i spent about 10 years customizing my Yamaha V Star 950. for this bike, i plan to do 10 years worth of modding up front over the next several weeks. i will try to detail every mod i do on it here. here she is in the show room and when it arrived to my driveway:
my first mod is a set of Avon Indian Air Cushion Anodized Grips with Throttle Assist, Part Number: #IN-TO-AIR-90A-B - $71, amazon
love these grips already. and you don't need any glue!! the clutch side grip has 3 set screws that you tighten when you get the grip into position so you can always move it or take it off later with ease. and since this bike is drive-by-wire, the throttle grip doesn't have to connect to any throttle cable and install of both took just a few minutes. the throttle grip has a throttle assist you can see by the thin black strip on the end that is sooooooooo much more relaxing. i put a throttle assist on my 950 very early on and can't imagine riding a bike without one at this point.
apology for the poor shot in my garage, but this isn't the final product anyway. got big plans for the grips coming...
