Loren’s Description:

This bike is a 2006 Star (Yamaha) Road Star Silverado.
It's my second Roadie, the first being an ’02 Midnight Star.

Color is stock pearl white.  The engine itself is stock, but AIS has been removed, air cleaner has been converted to a “poor man’s BAK”, and the pipes are HardKrome 2 into 1 Sideburners.
Manifold is self-ported & lapped, and carb is jetted with 167.5 main and set up to Odo’s specifications.

Exhaust has an Xtreme Revolution Sideburner Quiet Baffle installed.

It’s currently set up for 2-up riding, unlike the picture. Once I find me a girlfriend with her own bike, I’ll be going back to the solo look.

Accessories include:

Medium Silverado windshield

Buck’s Lowers
Buck’s oil cooler/filter protector
Chrome rectifier cover
Yamaha windshield bag (lowered)
Yamaha tool bag
Wide studded tank bra along with mini tank bra at rear of tank
Cutting Edge Metrics grab bar  (when running without passenger backrest)
