Made some progress today fixing Mistress, my 2003 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic. Ordered a new Light bar kit to get the hollow bolt to remount the left side driving lamp.
Remounted the windscreen, tightened the handle bars & reinstalled the clock & temp gauges.
Removed the saddlebags and left rear turn signal & straightened the mounting bar.
Still need to order new clear turn signal lenses & Star eyebrows.

The clutch also incorporates a slipper/back torque limiting functionality which helps prevent the rear wheel instability during downshifts at high rpm.
