NOTE: The articles in this website
are the result of the enthusiasm that we have for this marvelous hobby. The
articles will demonstrate to you how amateur enthusiasts have modified a certain
aspect of their bike. Often, the motor will breath better, performance will be
enhanced. You may find articles teaching you how a member discovered a unique
way of improving the suspension, modified the lighting, or, just flat-out
enhanced the personality of the bike. But, if you follow these articles, you do
so at your own risk. The many variables that exist from an enthusiastic
amateur's project, as presented here, can result in not only improvements in
your expensive bike, but could possibly cause intense damage. Bodily harm could
result. Neither the contributors nor the moderators and owner of this website
are liable. You have been warned.

Thanks to all the V*Star Riders
out there!!!
This Knowledge Base is composed of
all the good (and bad) things that the V*Star Riders have posted and made
available via the forum(s) and their own files and sites. My major
contribution is to assemble it in one place, provide some order and a little
narrative to make the topics "whole" and, hopefully, more meaningful.
Keep contributing and the KB will continue to grow and help others as we have
been helped. . . . AND, REMEMBER, USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK
