I know this is super old, but if anyone has trouble with that cover. Do top first by hand. Then use 1/4 bit head. Put it in by hand, then use a 1/4 wrench to turn it tight. Definitely gotta say thank you for the directions really helped get this done.

Thank you for the kind words and for watching . This blight is still going strong. I did try to make a video , or I was recording when I put the CD run turn brakes in , but things got a bit complex and I went quiet. So never used the footage . All the wires n such seemed a bit confusing at the time . It still is . N it's very tight n the wires are short. They do work nice though. I have them in thr front too.

i have the 2015 deluxe. I can't find the extra light bar. Where did you get it? Also, have you found any cheaper rear passenger floorboards? I can only find them for $300+ I would love to find an aftermarket rear trunk that I could have painted to match. Thanks.

@dbest1aVlogs 2 ай бұрын
When i got the light bar , I sourced it off of ebay n parts were very plentiful . Now a days maybe not so much . I'd maybe try ebay salvage shops , see if they will sell you the whole light set up with the wiring too. The trunk u may need a rack like , I think it's called wampus. Then just to find a top box. I had good luck with shad , but on the same token I could have lived with a sissy bar and tie on bag too. It's mainly taste. Fiyouwhat compliments your bike and you then go with that .

Yo dbest1a, I'm a brand new (to me) vstar 1300 deluxe rider. I really appreciate your maintenance videos and have saved many for working on my new V-Star. I have been looking for a replacement for my stock shield and the CeeBailey looks promising. Unfortunately they don't seem to make those anymore. 😢 I noticed that you had replaced your stock batwing and wondered if you would consider selling the Cee Bailey shield? I am interested if you decide to sell. Let me know. And it's all good either way. Stay safe out there my friend 😊

I liked the idea of that vent on the Cee Bailey maybe I can find one on fleabay. Also want to try out the Royal Star Tour Deluxe handlebars. The stock bars are a pain between the shoulder blades. You definitely got a great channel for V-Star 1300 deluxe riders. Keep up the good work 👍

@averycausey3995 yeah that could work . There are lots of youtube vids on cutting down plexiglass. I did it to the ceebaily . A jigsaw and plastic cutting blades and lots of masking tape. I cut off approx an inch which helped me to see over. Thanks for the kind words on the site. I filmed a lot of vids based off of reading the owners manual. It was very time consuming but I knew they would help others that might need some guided info.

@@dbest1aVlogs Already practiced cutting the stock shield down like you said with a jigsaw. Chopped 5 inches off which may have been too much but no loss because it was too tall for me to see over and too yellowed to see through. Definitely got the bobblehead that you mentioned. I also got the Memphis Shades lowers but haven't put em on yet. I live in southern New Mexico and it has been a smokin" hot summer. Gotta get out early in the morning because it has been over a 100 degrees by 11am most days with highs of 105-110 or more. Actually gonna try the bike with no shield for more airflow and hopefully less buffeting
