    1st Gen V-Max My 2000 V-Max

    Got the Virago bar mounted up today 😁 looks much better than having the backrest on 24/7, and an easier swap than putting the stock grab bar back on (especially with the bags!)

    1st Gen V-Max My 2000 V-Max

    Finally got around to getting my LED headlight and bar ends mounted up! Turn signals built into the headlight, and MICH brighter than the stock headlight. Took a little fab to get a generic headlight bucket to mount up but it worked out! The bar ends are also switchbacks, so also act as...
