I did the Sisters last June on my motorcycle. Here are my notes from my CB1100 forum post:
Watch. Out. For. DEER!!! (I encountered about a dozen crossing the road or thinking about it ... every truck has a big protective grill guard, even a few Camrys had them!)
Watch out for police patrolling 337. Gas stations are near the bottom of the Sisters in the towns along 337.
Fredericksburg: Kinda touristy walking strip downtown ... the Pacific War Museum is nicely set up and huge, but like reading a book standing up. I spent one stormy day reading books in their old historic library.
Kerrville: Good home base ... Super 8 had a refreshing pool, rags for motorcycles, modern rooms, nice free breakfast buffet and cheaper than the local Motel 6. The Western Art Museum is just okay.
Comfort: Historic center is tricky to find, but nice little antique shops and B&Bs if you have the budget for that sort of thing.
Mason: Very lovely town square with antique stores and some dining. Cooper's Pit BBQ with outdoor smoker is divine! Hill Country Inn was a favorite cheap motel in that area with TWO bathrooms and huge TV. Also enjoyed riding Farm Road 386 north of town.
Two Fat Boys BBQ in Leakey, Texas is a good food stop while doing the Three Twisted Sisters, as is the Bent Rim Grill, which seems to be the Harley Headquarters.
And of course the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum in Vanderpool, Texas is a must-see. I uploaded two Imgur albums:

I expected a lame collection of a couple of junky bikes, but it turned out to be very impressive. Limited hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
