Yamaha 1300 Tourer - Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

Hello. My name is Mike. I stumbled across your forum looking for parts, and might I say it is AWESOME! I live in Pocahontas, IL and own a red 08 VStar 1300T. Since buying it, I have added Chrome radiator cover, highway bars, drivers backrest and passenger floorboards. I am currently adding 16 red led lights around the engine. Also ordering a DMY trunk with wrap around backrest and chrome top luggage rack. Love riding my bike every chance I get. No rain, off to work. 68 miles roundtrip makes for an awesome ride.

Was ready to get rid of the bike one week after buying because the bolt that holds the front end on was stripped at the factory and the dealer said it could take six month to get a new front end. After threatening to cancel deal and get a Harley, they took the front end off another bike and put it on mine. No it is time to fight them over a passenger floorboard they installed cracked and won't stay in up position when no passenger.

If it wasn't for dealers I would love my bike even more.

Mike
