Riding a V Star 250 , getting older ,bikes get smaller

[@pedroc3948]

to me 250 is the perfect volume for lone riders who are not too heavy. I have an XTZ 250 Lander. Only sold in Brazil, search for it, you'll see it's an awesome trail style bike.

I agree ,250 is a good solo size, light weight ,super easy to handle, very fun on the back roads.

Do you know where can I get a luggage rack like the one on that bike? The bike looks perfect

@@JDE30 I’ll ask my dad to answer your question “ it’s his bike and he put that on 😁

Hi , owner of the bike here , the rack is a generic HTTMT brand , supposedly for HD , part number mt-238cd . The rear mount took a short chrome bar salvaged from another project to fit the original seat bolt and the front flat mount I worked carefully with a hammer to conform to the fender radius , hiding the mount and bolts under the seat .

How long has he had this air filter on? Any tuning needed afterwards? I have the 2009 model myself.

[@thebelligerentmechanic8916]

He did this mod shortly after buying the bike ,about nine months ago, he's ridden it about 250 miles . The only tuning has been a small adjustment of the air/fuel screw.

More than 400CC on a motorcycle you'll only ever get to experience on a race track
