(3 stars) reviewed on 04/09/08 by (benwade) from , , for a 650 V-Star Custom wrote: This is small for the bike. The horn fits best bolted to the mount. I also had to buy longer bolts to mount the bars to the frame. Laying legs over the top of the bars is the most comfortable position. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

Lindby supplied all the needed hardware for installation including preterminated wire extenders for the horn ( have to unbolt horn and relocate). Took about 20 minutes to install and the look fantastic on my 06 Custom. Review Details  7 out of 7 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 06/30/06 by Tim (TDozier) from Troy, OH, United States, for a 2004 650 V-Star Custom wrote: Great addon and safety item!.....just a few notes,...i'm 5'9" tall with a 32" inseam,..i have to sit a little more forward to reach the foot pegs, "not a problem though",....install was very easy,...you will have to move your horn,..the center of the "LINDBY" brackett is a 'GOOD' place,...you just enlarge the hole in your horn brackett to fit the 3/8'' , "LINDBY" bolt or just buy a smaller bolt and nylocker nut, and you're set!...and just mount everything with the 'one' bolt.,...works great!.....also the stock motor mount bolts are a hair to short after you place the" LINDBY" brackett between your down tubes,..you still have enough to tighten down,.( just use some red or blue loctite on beginning threads )..........last note!...if you move your clutch cable guide on your down tube to the lower bolt,..that will give you more threads to grip to, also,....well thats it!

Looks great, hope I can try them out this weekend. As for the horn, I mounted it to the bolt connecting the linbar and bracket. It will not work the way the instruction say to do it.

No problem turning, they are high enough off the ground to clear everything. Great looking, better that OEM type. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

(5 stars) reviewed on 08/20/05 by Aether (Aether) from Severn, MD, United States, for a 2006 650 V-Star Custom wrote: Protects (unlike the Yamaha OEM bars), provides nice cruising footrests and looks awesome. Install instructions are horrible and where they tell you to install the horn won't work, so I mounted it (complete with my Kuryakyn chrome horn cover) on the top bolt of the bar.
