Anyone else know if 12s will work with out extending anything? I happen to have 12" biltwells on my vstar that I might swap out save for the wg. Although they aren't dimpled so I'd have to do the mod to the control housing. Although they are pretty narrow and might look funny on the wide glide forks.

I have a 97 super glide that I just got so I don't know if the cables are stock, but I put 10" T-bars on that say there 14" of end rise and I only had to change my brake line. I would definitely get the bike for that price especially if its been maintained. You won't be dissapointed, I love mine. I'll try to post a picture later for you to see.

Just an update haven't gotten to check the bike out but going this Saturday to look at it. Its been sitting in his garage for awhile he might have started it up a couple times but thats about it. He recently changed the clutch and battery anything else I should look for? Belt condition? Etc.

...YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT ALREADY? Good grief!
My first bike was also a Yamaha Vstar...a 2001 650cc Vstar. Great bike. You won't regret the switch to Harley though, they're pretty good too!

There are a number of visible items on the bike that are not stock:
Kuryakin ISO grips and foot pegs/heal rest stirrups.
Lower chrome belt guard cover.
Fork brace.
Luggage rack.
Relocated turn signals (visors).
Saddle bag struts.
SE ll mufflers.
Tachometer.
Oil cooler.
For that price, I would jump on it.

Luckily he's in no rush to sell it and has only contacted me so far. Ill snap a bunch of pics tomorrow and throw some on here for further insight but yeah unless it blows up when I turn it over its just a matter of time until it's mine.
