DragonRider Posted March 21, 2009 #1 Posted March 21, 2009 No, I didnt buy a 2nd gen, cant afford one, I didnt sell my 1st Gen, never ever, still have the VStar, but I went an ordered a Batwing fairing for my V Star. Looking forward to getting it mounted, they do look pretty good on it, I attached a couple of pics of a couple of Vstars with them installed, I am getting the 7 inch black faded windshield and black lower deflectors.
Gray Ghost Posted March 21, 2009 #2 Posted March 21, 2009 You're just inching your way over to the dark side slowly. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated:rasberry:

GuthDaddy17 Posted March 21, 2009 #6 Posted March 21, 2009 It should look awsome, can't wait for the pics.

I will look good Lewis. The dealer here in Springfield, IL has a Stratoliner with the batwing, might be a radio caddy. Its a really nice look.

That right one is not a VStar....It's a HD.
Snarley Bill Posted March 22, 2009 #10 Posted March 22, 2009 lewis, let me know how it does with the wind. looks interesting.
Yammer Dan Posted March 22, 2009 #11 Posted March 22, 2009 That will be a different ride Lew. Let us know how it comes out.
Squidley Posted March 22, 2009 #12 Posted March 22, 2009 Lewis, As long as you like it thats all that counts, it's yours and your customizing it how you want it. It will look different and thats a good thing
DragonRider Posted March 22, 2009 Author #13 Posted March 22, 2009 Yep I realized that after I posted it, they had all the pics mixed up in their gallery, but it still gives a good representataion of what their sheild looks like. This one doesnt have a spot for a raido in it but it is lined with textured ABS plastic, so its not just a fairing with nothing behind it...........I will mount my small amp, portable cb radio and sat. radio on it. It comes glossy black, so I wont have to paint it to match the bike..........Its about time I sarted making some drastic changes to the V Star. The only problem I might have is mounting brackets, nobody makes a quick disconnect kit for it for the 1300, so I will be fabbing my own. Dont worry pics will be posted before and after the conversion. On the VStar Forum some have already done this and say the handling is the same but the buffetting and wind noise is gone. We shall see. I found a really good pic of a 1300 with the fairing painted to match the bike and with hard bags instead of the leather covered like I have.............WOW. That right one is not a VStar....It's a HD.
eazyduzzit Posted March 22, 2009 #14 Posted March 22, 2009 It looks good. I may do something like that to my RSTD after after my kitchen remodel and woodworking shop build is done. Second thought, by then I'll probably be too old to care.
DragonRider Posted March 22, 2009 Author #15 Posted March 22, 2009 Your never to old, the fact is my motorcycles help me feel younger than I am, and the fact that the wife lets me also helps........... It looks good. I may do something like that to my RSTD after after my kitchen remodel and woodworking shop build is done. Second thought, by then I'll probably be too old to care.
Gray Ghost Posted March 23, 2009 #16 Posted March 23, 2009 Are you suggesting that Lewis will have to change his handle from DragonRider to HarleyRider someday soon ? :rasberry: BEER30 I live WAY too close to Lewis to ever suggest something like that. So, if you heard that, you didn't hear it from me.
DragonRider Posted March 23, 2009 Author #17 Posted March 23, 2009 I know you well enuff to know you wouldnt insult me like some of them other 2nd gen owners.............seeing as I do believe you had a V Star in your stable. Been a while since we have seen each other, we need to put together a Newnan M&E and ride. Got any open weekends on your calander, mine are all open except for the weekend that Todd is putting together, and thats sometime in April. I live WAY too close to Lewis to ever suggest something like that. So, if you heard that, you didn't hear it from me.
Gray Ghost Posted March 25, 2009 #18 Posted March 25, 2009 Hey, it was Gene that mentioned the bad word. I was thinking 2nd Gen, but that VStar you got shore is purty. We oughta get together sometime in April or early May. Elizabeth and I plan on a camping trip out to NM the first week of June, so sometime soon we are gonna do a "warm-up" ride. To Chattanooga, Birmingham, Montgomery, then home.
DragonRider Posted March 25, 2009 Author #19 Posted March 25, 2009 I check on some things and get back to you, Let me know when you do your warmup ride, if its on a weekend I might join you if you want company.........sound interesting.
