Hey guys,
I hope you can help me cause I am in the same situation with my Legend Forward controls not coming with instructions. I know this is a Road Star forum but I am unable to find a V-star forum and I saw a thread for this same situation with these controls for your Road Star's so I was hoping there was someone here who owns a V-Star 1100 that has installed these and could send me some instructions or post them here. So with that said is there anyone here who has a V-Star and the Legend forward controls who has installed them and could assist me. I have no experience with mechanical repairs but I am fairly intuitive technologically speaking and I can follow instructions quite well. Of course my main objective is the rear brake side installation so any help or info pointing to the right place would be greatly appreciated. I saw the nice pics for the Road Star installation but I am not sure they are even close enough to be of assistance to me and my V-Star. Ill be hoping you guys can help me and thanks for reading this.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes I caught the My wife has a V-star comment hehe. Well I will say I have thought about trading it in for a Road Star. I have 2300 miles on my new bike but I like the power the Road Star has. 65 cubic inches is a little weak for me and I am a bigger guy so the Road Star's larger engine is more appealing. I have added a lot of after market parts to my bike already and hate to trade it in after all that. I am inhereting a V-Rod in a couple of years so I may just give this one to my son when the time comes. Anyway Ill try those links and see if anyone can help and of course if anyone here has install instructions I am still open to it here /emoticons/emotion-1.gif

[:0] OH!!!NO!!! I didn't mean that! Sorry - I was actually shopping for the 1100 Custom when the Warrior came out. The dealership hadn't sold a single Warrior from about Nov '01 when they got their first one's and Feb '02 when I bought the first one they sold. Thought I got an excellent deal - other people later got much better deals.[B)]
My wife decided the following May that the old 2000 650 custom we had wasn't enough any more. [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif] We went back and bought the 1100 custom like I had originally wanted. [/emoticons/emotion-4.gif] Nice... I firmly believe that the 1100 is more than "just a womans bike" - check out that 1100 forum - some of those guys are making some killer power - and they get more rev's than we do.
I used to ride it quite a bit but not so much lately. The more I ride the Warrior the more cramped traditional crusiers feel.
We will try to talk you out of the V-Rod though - [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

No worries about the chic bike reference. Its more my issues because of the 65 cubic inch engine when the other bikes are running 95Ci and 110ci engines. I did purchase the Kuryaken HyperCharger kit and have Some complete Hard Krome Kicker exhaust coming in the mail as we speak so I should be happy with the perfomrance gains that gives /emoticons/emotion-1.gif
Now if I can just figure out how to put these forward controls on without bringing it in to have it done. As far as the HD V-Rod goes. Ill be getting it for free so it would be hard to talk me out of it /emoticons/emotion-1.gif I have always been a pro harley fan but the price versus features never added up. You cant beat my 7000 dollar cash out the door all paid for 2002 V-Star. /emoticons/emotion-1.gif
