Does the Vstar 1100 custom suppose to have a chrome exhaust cover plate on
the pipe going from the front cylinder head down to lower exhaust cover

is not covered by a chrome plate and my pipe there is turned ...

i have a question for you regarding your windshield installation.  I am
assuming that it is the 650 version we are talking about here.  And my
question is this:  How do you  find the power output copes with pushing that
windshield thru the air.  The 650 doent have much extra power, ...
