Yamaha XV1600 ROAD STAR 2006 Parts & Accessories

Produced from 1999 through 2004, the Yamaha XV1600A (also sold as the Road Star in North America and Wild Star in Europe) was a major landmark in Yamaha's cruiser lineup. Powered by a massive 1,602 cc air-cooled OHV 48-degree V-twin engine—at the time the largest displacement engine in production—it was praised for its deep rumble, massive low-end torque, and classic hardtail-look rear suspension. Notable for utilizing pushrod valve actuation, dual spark plugs, and a belt final drive (a departure from Yamaha's typical shaft-drive cruisers), the XV1600A served as a highly customizable platform that spawned multiple factory touring variants, including the Silverado and Midnight editions.
