Yamaha 1300 Tourer - The Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

It is a beautiful day here in the Southern Tier of NY, Horseheads to be exact. I am heading out shortly on Keegstar (affectionately named after my daughter Keegan) for a business meeting. I bought my 1300 Tourer thirteen months ago and am heading toward 11,000 miles already. This not bad for being in upstate NY :) I found this site while searching for ideas to fix the buffeting problems I was facing. I have to say thank you to the founders of this forum, it has become a many times daily visit for me. Since Keegstar has joined the family there have been a few additions. I began with a luggage rack. I then found myself with an aching back halfway to work in the mornings and opted for a Mustang rider and passenger seat with rider backrest to address that issue. I am happy to say the back pain has gone for good. Thanks Mustang! Buck's lowers came next in an attemt to help with the buffeting. The lowers did help but did not eliminate the problem. The next was a leather bag to throw on the luggage rack for trips to and from my office, which happens to be an 85 mile highway commute one way. Passing lamps for safety came next, followed closely by highway bars and highway pegs. After joining this forum I devoured everything having to do with the windhsield issues that are known to all of he V Star 1300 Tourer riders. I decided to take some advice and elongated the mounting hole to allow the windshield to be tilted. I can honestly say I was shocked at the result. My buffeting issue is now virtually non-existant!
