redrocket04 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Finally got the new bike home today. 2007 Yamaha V Star classic. 2,000 miles, and a pretty nice pearl white paint job. I'll get better pics tomorrow. Today, it was raining, so it stayed in the garage after being delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrocket04 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I was thinking of taking the bags off altogether, just because they don't look or feel very high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Sell the apes and cables. The extended cables are probably worth a lot. Hopefully stock cables will fit up on the new bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrocket04 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 You sold your 600 for that?Noooo, I sold my 600 for an '08 600RR, which the guy sold out from under me. The V Star, I'd already bought just as a second bike. Still on the hunt for another sport bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrocket04 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hope you didn't pay too much. Could look sweet cleaned up and without the Schwinn Stingray bars.$3,000 even, including delivery from Mount Vernon. Google makes switching the bars look easy, so I'm going to try to do it tomorrow morning. If anyone has experience and wants to help, then great. If not, hopefully I wn't run into any issues with it.
