My ride is '02 Yamaha V-Star 1100, with 7,222 original miles. What might be objections to remove, but not replace the oil filter? Then to change oil every 2,000 miles.

Heres why not. Motors have very small metal pieces come off due to wear. They are caught up in the oil filter. This keeps them from building up in places and then starting a issue like in the bearings oil passages.
I understand why you want to leave out the oil filter. Removing the exhaust is a pain just to change the filter but if you like your bike DO IT!!!!! Look in to changing the exhaust to one that clears the oil filter. Or check out the filter relocation kit. I rode a vstar for 2 years and loved it. Take care of it you have a great bike.:wave4:
