I´ve had a 2001 650 V star classic for about 5 years and go on a 1000 mile trip every year. I bought the bike used with 14,500 miles. At 15,500 miles I had to put a rear on it because the coupler stripped out. I´m on this forum today because I just got back from my 1000 mile trip with 27,000 miles on my bike and have to puy yet another rear on the bike. I´m ready to freak out and need to know why this keeps happening ANYONE???
