(5 stars) reviewed on 08/17/11 by Steven (defiasco13) from , , United States, for a 2002 Black and Red 1100 V-Star Silverado wrote: Just finished installing and they look great. Install wasn't hard at all just a little time. I left the plastic on until i finished to keep from scratching and also mounted the top part first so it would be held in place. Doing it this way made it possible to do it on my own. The welds and chrome quality looks good. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Have had to use mine a couple of times with the bike loaded with bags, barely could tell they had touched. Protected the rest of the bike and riders perfectly.

(5 stars) reviewed on 07/27/08 by John Hall (Simpia99) from Springfield, IL, United States, for a 2009 Black Cherry 1100 V-Star Silverado wrote: Had a friend install. Took 30-45 minutes. Just make sure if you buy an engine guard and you have the oil relocation kit you don't have to move it or buy the extended lines. other reviews help me decided which to get. I can lean fine and don't have a problem. I had to learn to point my toe straight to down shift but only a minor problem Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 10/29/07 by JayT. (3LETHALS) from Lenoir, NC, United States, for a 2007 Cerulean Silver 1100 V-Star Silverado wrote: I really like these bars. They look great and the installation was a breeze. I had them installed in under 30 minutes. Even though there is only one 'graphic' in the instructions, if you completely read through them before you start, it'll be obvious where everything goes. Protect the paint on the front fender during installation. Now for the highway pegs... Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

I mounted highway pegs on the bars. The engine guards entirely changed the look of the bike and made it look bigger when looked from the front.

(5 stars) reviewed on 12/22/06 by TTT (tneal) from Alpharetta, GA, United States, for a 2004 Rav/Mocha, V&H Pipes 1100 V-Star Silverado wrote: Just finished installing, they look great. If I ever have to install again, I would put in both spacers as directions say then I would install both top motor mount bolts as loosely as possible (just a couple of threads) starting with the shorter right side to make sure I don't x-thread them. Lastly, I would swing the bar into place and bolt to floorboards/pegs. All-in-all, under 45 mins by myself. Since these bars are big, I had concerns that they would drag in hard corners. I leaned the bike up as much a possible, straightened the front wheel and laid a sheet of plywood on the ground next to the bike so that the wood hit both wheels. I then raised the plywood to simulate a hard turn angle. The rear of the floorboard touched first as it should and floorboard folded almost all the way up before it touched the crash bars. Good enough for me, lean on and ride safe. Can only rate on looks (5) and ease of installation (3-4), top bolts could match up better. Review Details  10 out of 10 members found this review helpful.
