Removing the Roadstar gas tank
Reprinted by Permission from NoPork.com
One rider tells how he removed the tank on his Roadstar.
The tank is pretty easy to remove... The hardest part of removing it was unplugging one of the meter assembly coupler plugs.
The "meter assembly" is a fancy name for the chrome piece on top of your tank that holds the spedometer. First, you remove the 3 hex bolts from the meter assembly. If you don't have a windshield, you can probably just flip... -

There has been a lot of talk about the rear fender cracking on our Road Stars. I have posted on the Road Star Riders forum a few time on how I reinforced my rear fender to stop the cracks.

How to Remove and Lower the Rear Fender
The object of this article is to explain how to "lower" the rear fender on a Road Star. What you are actually doing is "lowering" the tail of the fender by "rolling" the entire fender on its pivot point. You do this by modifying the lower front subframe mounts, which bolt into the frame below the seat in the vicinity of the tool pouch area.
