Sacha, we actually talked about that! lol. Thing is, I have no room for another bike! lol. Maybe I'll buy her a Grom lol.

Toutsuite, thank you for the info! my wife is begging me to get a second seat so I can take her out, but to be honest, I want to get comfortable riding on my own first before I dare take out a passenger. I'll take a look and see if the stock girder is still there or not. I guess I would have to get some pegs installed too to get her on the bike right?

Thank you Cotterpot! I'll check those out!

Will do. Any "go to" places for ordering parts, either aftermarket or oem?

Great, thanks for the info! What about things like adding a rear seat, or changing the tank? Would this be fairly easy to do or something more intermediate to advanced?Id love to be able to take the kids around the block on the bike, and the tank has quite a few dings in it, but don't want to get in over my head with projects that I shouldnt attempt myself. lol.

A few friends have said that I should consider wrapping the pipes using some black wrap. Not entirely sure how to do it, I would imagine it would include removing the pipes to wrap them?

Thanks! Like I said, have no idea about any of this, lol. I loved the look of the bike (and the price) and as a shorter stocky guy it was super easy to get on being lowered. I would love to add some of my own flare to it eventually, but for now I'll ride as is.

So I just bought my first bike, a 1998 Yamaha V Star 650. This is where I get a little confused though, it has some mods done to it and I really don't know what they are, lol. I know the seller told me it was lowered, has a "Bobber Kit" and a Hyper Charger, and he changed the exhaust and all the lighting. What exactly is a Bobber Kit, and what does the Hyper Charger do? Also, I would like to add a passenger seat eventually to this bike, if possible, and how would I go about that? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
