I bought this bike in July of �08. I was very impressed with the low center of gravity of this bike and the fact that it handled extremely well at low and high speeds. The quality of construction is great. I love the fact that they used large amounts of chrome all over the bike. In the past I have owned mostly Hondas, but when it came time to buy a new bike this time, the V Star 1100 Custom was a no-brainer choice for me. I have added Yamaha studded leather saddle bags and a Yamaha windshield as well as a sissy bar and crash bars. My only concern with the aftermarket Yamaha products are the fasteners. After three weeks on the bike the chrome bolts on the crash bars and the sissy bar started to rust. I removed them and swapped them with high grade stainless fasteners. All in all I love this bike and look forward to many miles of riding.
Upgrades/Accessories: Yamaha leather studded saddle bags and mounting hardware, sissy bar with studded backrest, crash bars, windshield, lo-jack system (priceless). Currently getting ready to add floorboards.
