Art708 Posted January 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2011 I finished my StarGlide conversion today. I installed an RSTD rear fender to get rid of all the welded brackets on the RSV fender. I have a chrome fender rack ordered which should be here in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2011 That is a fantastic look. Using the RSTD fender was a GREAT idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art708 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks Don. I tried this with the '09 that I had and ran into the bracket problem. So this time I decided to use the rstd fender.....which is the same as a Road Star fender which I have one of in the shop....but in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted January 28, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 28, 2011 Nice thinking outside the box, for a solo rider that is very nice. Where did you end up hiding the CB box as I see you still have both antennas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley9187 Posted January 28, 2011 Share #10 Posted January 28, 2011 WOW, what a conversion!! I really like the look, especially since you kept the front fairing turned it into a really sweet ride! Rick A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exrsa1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share #16 Posted January 28, 2011 I finished my StarGlide conversion today. I installed an RSTD rear fender to get rid of all the welded brackets on the RSV fender. I have a chrome fender rack ordered which should be here in the next few days. Nicely done! Are you planning on making the trunk fit back on there again. I am looking to make mine a quick detach, so I can have the RSTD back, or solo or put the trunk back on when heading out on a long run. Thanks Ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO want to find an rstd removable backrest so I can make it into a 2-up bike when I need to without a lot of trouble. I'll give the trunk and rsv fender, etc to the new buyer when I sell or trade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken Posted January 28, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) I did this conversion to my 05 RSV before I sold it. I loved the look and am in the process or converting my 02 RSV. I'll be sure to show it off when it's done. Edited January 28, 2011 by ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art708 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks guys.... I never expected that it would generate so many positive comments. Ruffy, the shop is just one half of the garage....nothing fancy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
