New Too! 9 Years, 7 Months ago  
Hey folks... new to the clinic. Great site! I've been a rider for 38 years, but got a Road Star 1 year ago. I've put 3,000 miles on it and am in love!

She's an '01 98 incher that only had 3,100 miles. Found it on craigslist for real short money.

I've since bought a modified stock box with a K&N inside. I put a set of Santee tapered tip mufflers with pipes on it and rejetted with a K&N kit strictly according to the directions.

It runs super, sounds great, and I got 44 mpg on the last tank.

As soon as my son shows me how to plug a picture in and select an avatar, I'd like to be a regular poster.

I live in southeastern Massachusetts, 54, and married.

Thanks to whoever's responsible for creating this place!

Yup! Last October. Everything seems to have come back just fine.

A friend, who was a Yama tech for years told me which dealer to take it to.

Questcap, welcome!

We're working out the details of a summer ride that should put us in your neighborhood over Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to it.
