Posted April 29, 201113 yr Hey everyone, Any V-Star 650 riders who have replaced their stock handlebars with custom handlebars especially the Baron Starbar here? The link is HERE
April 29, 201113 yr not that specific one, but here's what i did... when i first bought the handlebars, it looked very wide. But once installed, i find it looks good, and the ride is very comfortable (i used raisers also...). Mirrors also changed...but don't have a picture of the bike with the new ones..

April 30, 201113 yr Author not that specific one, but here's what i did... when i first bought the handlebars, it looked very wide.

May 1, 201113 yr pfff, i have it in the public domain of my dropbox....so should be available to everyone. i'll give it another go.. these links should work...tried it on another pc and i could see them. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011022.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011023.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011024.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011025.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011026.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011027.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/dragstar/01052011028.jpg good luck. Tried the link, but it tells me I don't belong.........nothing new there then
May 1, 201113 yr The links now work......however if you put at the end of the link, you get this...... Very nice 650, but those throttle cables look very tight.
May 1, 201113 yr ahaaa,that's why i see pictures from other people in the post.. yeah, throttle cables need to be changed. They have enough play, but i want the metal braided type,to match the brake line, as well as vance & hines pipes, other air filter, dual headlights, forward controls....better stop here.

Peter Sounds like you're going to be spending a lot more time at work, that shopping list is not going to be cheap.
May 4, 201113 yr Author The handlebar looks REALLY REALLY nice. Thats what I want but minus the handlebar raiser.
May 4, 201113 yr thanks, yes, i'm happy with the way it looks. without the raisers, it felt somewhat uncomfortable for me(needed to lean forward too much). Peter The handlebar looks REALLY REALLY nice. Thats what I want but minus the handlebar raiser.

Peter Hmm...it has me thinking as well. How tall are you? Plus what brand is the handlebar and the raiser? I just want to see if they are available in Australia
May 13, 201113 yr Author ...and also the rear view mirrors. They look fantastic. What brand are they?
May 13, 201113 yr ...and also the rear view mirrors. They look fantastic. What brand are they? hello, risers are highway hawk, 4" high. I first got the 6" one's, but they were too high (bit better comfort, but didn't look nice to me). The mirrors are "Scythe" from Kuryakin.I got them in the local harley shop,so needed a converter to metric. They do tend to vibrate when i go over 80 kph...but probably that's normal. The handlebar i don't know what brand...just bought it at "Louis" shop in Germany. Peter
