Vstar 950 mods
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2016 10:08 pm
I got a great deal on a demo bike at the motorcycle show 2 years ago. It's a 2013 Vstar 950 tourer.
I rode it stock for the first year. Slowly added to it and made the following changes.
Enlarged the front pulley to reduce the rpms in top gear by 500 rpm.
Added Vance & Hines slip on exhaust plus Cobra air intake and fuel management module.
Tachometer, engine guards, highway pegs, Kuryakyn grips with throttle boss.
Gel seat.
Memphis Shades lowers.
Kuryakyn run turn brake controller
Clevver clutch lever.
Grasshopper driver backrest
The horsepower gain was amazing. Thing runs as smooth as silk now even at higher speeds but is a little slower on the takeoff due to the larger front pulley. And of course, more horsepower means more fuel so the gas mileage dropped accordingly but having a faster noisier bike is the trade off.
