  1. Why did I choose a Yamaha Roadstar? My bike at the time was a Kawasaki KZ 1000, a large displacement “muscle bike” with an inline 4 cyl engine. I like power, especially excess power. But that bike was a beast to ride, and ugly. The Roadstar's V-twin engine, with more weight lower in the chassis, makes it more nimble. And it's a beautiful bike. Yamaha did an excellent job with the design, getting a lot of the details just right.

  2. I enjoy working on my bike. I like the challenge of well executed mods that accomplish their goal. I think my v-twin sounds great, but after seeing this exhaust mod, it’s next on the list.
