The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

Hey everybody! I've been lurking here for awhile, so I figured I'd finally just sign up. There is a ton of good info on this site.

Anyways, I've got a 2008 Warrior that I picked up in April. I've put 4K miles on it so far. I've installed a set of V&H Big Shots, a PCIII, Barons Bomber Bars, and the rear fender elim kit. I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to do next. I know that grips & mirrors are in the near future, as are internally wiring the bars, lowering the rear, and doing something with the wheels. I'm not sure if I want to chrome them or powder coat them black.There are a bunch of others things I want to do as well, but I'll take things a few at a time. Besides...winter is coming up, so I might as well mod away while I'm not riding.

Hold up you've had her for 4 months and only got 4k miles? what gives? She was meant to be ridden! Seriously welcome and enjoy. You have a good start there. The best advice is to do what you like because you are the one riding her. Modd away and enjoy the ride.

welcome dude....   one thing i learned is that the wish list never gets any smaller, no matter how many things i cross off...

 Thanks! Yeah...it's my main commuting ride, which is about 100 miles a day. Seems like a lot to me, since most of the guys around here put nothing on their bikes...they barely even ride!

I wish mine was stock again. 

I'm suprised that name was available, Midnight. Congrats, and thanks for joining the site. 

Welcome, you are obviously off to a good start!

Welcome to the forum, when doing interally wired bars try to pick up some bars that have draw strings, makes things much easier.  Here's my little write up on internally wired bars.
