The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

the ol' fat boy is finally here. first my typing is not the best, should i use Mobil 1 20-50, Ialso love blowing away corvetts, and Ilike my water CANNON!!!!!

mobil 1 is a good choice.  I would say most guys use mobil 1 or amsoil

Thanks for responding.What are your thoughts on back rests

Mobil 1 V-Twin is good stuff.  On the back rest question, are you talking about for yourself or a second rider?  If you are going to be riding 2 up a lot, check into a passenger peg relocate kit and a 1000 lb spring.  It might help if you let us know what year your bike is as the seats are different for early years.  Also, welcome to the 4M, but hide your credit card as there is so much you can do to these bikes you can bo broke quick.

2007 and not the mid-night both rider and passenger back rest. Also is 8,500 a good price for a new warrior??????

Welcome aboard!  The search function is so powerful it'll return hundreds of hits.  But read as much as you can because everyone comes away with different questions after a search.  It gets us to the next level, know what I mean?

Check out the Corbin Touring seat. It's got rider and passenger back rest.

First let me say welcome new Bro. about the back rest i found that the ones  i like is from value accessories, its short and out of the way my fiancé is 5'8" and loves it and i think it looks good on the Warrior. might want to get the peg extenders from Yamaha my lady loves me for them also.

Welcome,peg extenders are a must.I have mine reversed so they are down and back.My wife likes them better that way,she sais they are more cumfortable for her.

8,500 is a great price for a new Warrior! Way to go! Welcome to the 4M.

Hey Slingshot Is your wife tall? you got me thinking.(now thats hard to do) my Lady's legs are long wonder if it would be more comfortable for her

first off welcome to the 4m. ive had women of all hights on my bike and even the shortest being 4 ft 11 inches said the pegs were kinda high so i droped them and twisted the pegs forward for rear peg standup wheelies. I didnt like the stylings and prices of some of the sissy bars so i decided to make my own and i shure am glad i did i like it more on the bike than with out it on now and their is no big lumpy pad i made a detatchable pad for long double up trips but even after 10 hrs on a bike its not needed cause the bars are comfy w/ the vibrations or so im told. as for the oil i use amsoil in my bike thats just my preference.
