    The bags look great. I am eventually going to buy saddlebags for my vstar 1300. I want bolt on bags where no drilling in fenders are required.

    You might try www.cruisercustomizing.com, I have had good luck finding accessories for my vstar 1300.

    Good luck

    Renfield,

    Do you know how your saddleman jumbo slant bags would fit on the 1300? Can you mount them under the passenger seat? I agree about the accessories, I did not want the windshield and wanted the rock bottom price up front. I might be interested in buying your saddlebags if they will fit the 1300. It would be nice to have a seperate forum for the vstar1300, since this one is getting long.

    Definitely a better deal to buy the tour model, if you know you want those accessories. I learned my lesson the hard way with my vstar650. I have a set of saddlemen jumbo slant bags if you're interested.

    I got lucky and found a set of Yammie hard bags for $350 on ebay for the old bike. Won't make the mistake again of buying without the accessories.

    My next purchase will be a luggage rack, then perhaps some type of storage. I really like the saddle bags that come with the tourer, but find it hard to stomach the price from Yamaha on the bags and mounting equipment. If i remember correctly its around $1400 for the bags and mounting hardware. I would love to find something similar to the factory bags but at less of a price. In the end i would probaly have been better off to pay extra and get the tourer 1300. :rolleyes:

    While we're wishing, I wish the Yamaha Owners Club had a dedicated forum for the V Star 1300. This post is running long and going all over the place, topic wise.

    Good luck with your new backrest!

    Cheers,

    Ren.

    What did you pay for your Vstar 1300? I payed $7954 before taxes and licensing. I thought this was a great price. Just curious what others payed for there bike. I think its a lot of bike for the money......gotten lots of compliments so far.

    I just bought a new V-star 1300 last weekend and love this bike. It rides very smooth and has lots of power. I have noticed the speedometer seems to read 5 mph to slow....i wondered why everyone was passing me. Anyone else noticed t his? Love the bike overall.
