well i finally got up the nerve to do it.my rstd is on ebay.listing no.230186966291. this is scary. i love this bike. my v-star 1300 is the official replacemrnt. the ride to memphis confirmed it. it did the job just fine.don't worry i ain't going anywhere .i would'nt let you all off that easy.you'll just have to put up with a snarley old fart on a v-star for an eternity. bill
