T.A.;
My hats off to you for riding at all. I've been told that the Gerbing heated gear is good. If you have a throttle lock you could hold your hand close to the motor too.

Ya got to check out the Rifle shield. I just put the 171/2" on and it makes a huge difference. It's heavy-duty and wider. Plus they'll custom cut to fit your height.

It was in the low 50's here yesterday, and I got out for about an 80 mile ride, to top off my 10K for the year. Or at least since Jan 11th, when I got rid of the Volusia and got the Star. I may get out today, but household stuff has got to get done first! I've already completed about 2/3rds of the stuff, so I'm gonna go finish it off and take another run!

Do you mean the bars?? If so, nope! They are the factory accessory "Fat T Handlebars"

Yamaha Road Star Accessories, Yamaha Road Star Double "T" Fat Bars

No kiddin! I dont think they make anything like that for the roadliner.

Are they comfy? Almost need a photo with you on the bike.

Well, this one is a Road Star! They actually don't make them for the liner! If you have a liner, check out the risers. If they are 4" on center, then these would fit. That may throw some other things out for you though. My seat puts me two inches lower, and one inch back, so they extra rise and pullback worked out very well for me. However, it might be too much with a stock seat. Also, see how much cable you have left, these are made to be used with stock cables for the Roadie, but I'm not sure if the Liner's cable are long enough!

My reach to the bars was perfect with the stock seat. I do have to say my comfort level went way up with the combo of the two changes. I've never been more comfortable on a motorcycle than I have been since I got these bars on. I was a bit concerned with them being a bit more of a "drag bar", but they have worked out very well, and really changed up the whole look of the bike!

The cables & hoses are not long enough

on a roadliner to put those bars on.

I moved mine up 2 1/2" & back an inch.

I am having my seat made to move me forward as much as is possible.
