Tell me you have a video posted. I just ordered the exact same bars for my 02 1100 V star. I’m wanting to see what they look like. Using stock cables and lines.

I'll check them out thanks mate

Thanks mate :D

I'm hoping I don't learn the hard way with engine failures, fingers crossed I guess. This is my first Harley so I'm not up with the history of the engine issues they've had but I have a few friends with Harleys and they've been good and the power is more than enough for what I need but its only early days so I might jump ship eventually lol

@@wizfiz7056 Not to get locked into one theme is a good policy and to truly know what is good one must try the many. Otherwise one speaks from the butt....:-)

@@rolandkeith5322 I'm hearing ya mate, I've ridden a few types of bikes, modified sport bikes which are dangerous and all kinds of fun but not for me and I did ride a nice Triumph a bit (my Ex's) but didn't like the sound and the power for 800cc was pretty lack luster but hope to start doing some dirt bike vlogs soon on my TE 450 Husky. If I could afford it though I'd have them all lol

@@wizfiz7056 dirt bike with a TE 450 Husky ....Cool as that would be good to see some of that and nice bike for the job as well

Thanks mate I was a little worried about the sound quality but It turned out pretty well it just has to hold up to the abuse I put it through lol. I agree 100% mate, we are living in the age of the offended now. We act a little different down in the southern hemisphere than the rest of the world does, the more we like someone the more shit we give them lol I think that's true for both NZ and Aus for sure. Thanks for the comment brother I appreciate it.

Thanks mate, it was a great bike. I have a new bike now but i'll be doing some mods ;)

@@wizfiz7056 ah yeah I saw the Harley, lovely bike, agree the mirrors could do with swapping. Interested to see what you come up with overall. All the best and safe riding mate.

Thanks mate! I wasn't really expecting to find a Harley I wanted but something about it caught me. I was gearing up to head back to the Gym but alas us naughty Victorians got locked down again, so no Gym for a bit. I'm in stage 3 lockdown where I am and I haven't been able to get out and make some vlogs...getting withdrawals.

I'm 6'1 and for me it feels fine but I get told I look too big for the bike, but go for what feels right

The bars I ordered were chrome but the quality of the chrome was so bad I decided to go a different path and powdercoated them, but you will see in my latest video what happened to the ape hangers. In short, dont buy cheap bars lol

I have to go on memory as its not like that anymore but I made custom bracket..I vaguely remember bolting it onto an existing frame bolt and making up some flat supports that went from the fender to the axle.

Ok I see thanks ✌🏼

I went there a few times when it was open, was a nice place but i don't go out much nowdays lol of course even more so with whats happening now

Thanks mate, I loved the look of it but the cops did not lol

Thanks mate :D

Sorry for the late reply. I am from Bendigo but its no longer a bobber

Yes I think you are right, i should have spent some more time tweaking it but Its gone a different direction now but if I go the bobber again i'll definitely do it differently.

Thanks mate its good being back making videos again and i'm glad I got a new camera :D There will always be shit parts of life, just gotta keep moving forward.

currently they are $248 at badboybobbers not 100% sure how much I paid at the time

Shut up nerd.

I'm 6'1 and the bike feels good but it looks smaller as the bobber. thanks mate

lol I've left it on too many times now i'ts just paranoia :D

Ill post a vid soon of the comparison between the bobber in this video and stock. The bobber looks much lower. I'm 6'1 and it felt good as a bobber....unfortunately the police didn't like the rear fender and instead of fighting it i just put it back to stock....for now :D

Sorry for the late reply, you probably dont need the info anymore lol I couldnt find the same shop but this is the same fender. www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rear-Mudguard-Fender-For-Harley-Sportster-Bobber-Chopper-Cafe-Racer-Black-BS4/232720485621?epid=2020206292&hash=item362f38ccf5:g:u5QAAOSwkcFbDSW6

The seat wasn't too bad about the same soreness as the stock seat so I was definitely happy about that. I was probably disliking the bumps as I had already repaired the bike from he last long bumpy ride and was dreading having to fix something else lol

Thanks mate. that's a bugger about the short shots I'm looking for the loudness but a nice tone, looks like I need to do some more research hmmm

I should have never cut mine off lol

Thanks mate :D

Thanks mate, I've been hearing that about the 883 I was surprised and I love the look of them too maybe I should just go with the Stryker. Did you have to get a dyno after the new power commander? I think I'll have to invest in one :D Yeah the backfire is weird, its just a random start and pow lol

The Stryker is a very good bike and lots of good feed back about them is on the internet. And No need to Dyno the engine after a power commander install nor do you need to change the jets. And some power commanders will have a few maps to flick between as well. A re-jet is needed if you install a Kuryakyn Hypercharger but in saying that mine with the jet kit runs a bit on the rich side from 0 to 100 kph then swings over to lean from 100 and up. So the jet kit for the Hypercharger could be better. when I get some time I am going to take the heads off and re-port them and shave them down to get the compression up then I will do a full re tune. I have had my bike from new as I just love the look of them and technically the engines are awesome with plenty of room for hot Rodding. as it's a twin carbs OHV engine that's quite old school in it's design but that a good thing coz good power can be made form normal old school tricks. by the time I am finished with it i will be able to obtain 56+ Hp from all of that. then for shits and giggs I might get a set of cams made form billet by CNC. Keep in mind that a Harley-Davidson Iron 883 is only 46.7HP out of the box and is one second slower than a bolt down the quarter mile.

I will definitely check out the power commander but as of yesterday I have bigger problems. After a big ride and some rough roads my bikes has started backfiring like its possessed, mainly on deceleration but its always popped but these are full blown backfires, and I found an exhaust bolt snapped and thought that was the issue due to back pressure but alas it wasn't. I'm guessing the carby needle is sticking and letting too much fuel but taking into consideration I know next to nothing about motorcycles I will just let my mechanics look at it lol. I will definitely make a video about it all. I probably wont modify my bike too much if I plan to upgrade down the line but I've definitely got a soft spot for the xvs650, Its simple and amazing looking and you can change it to suit your style so much easier and cheaper than other bikes like Harleys etc

I understand about the up grade deal totally.I have had a few bikes over the years but I have settled down with the two that I have got now and that been the 650 Yammi and the Ninja. The Yammi is a total fun bike I can ring it's neck out around the streets and not end up in gaol for doing 260kph in a 60 zone and stuff like that were as the ninja I would. But the ninja is a awesome long distance bike and one of the best machine ever made but a bit bulky to pop over to mates place with or just go to the shops and stuff like that. plus the 1400 is so hot the amount of heat that comes off of it is amazing so I run that bike in winter mainly coz in summer one would BBQ them selves indeed.

One day i'll probably get a sports bike again and I love the ninjas so will probably go with one of those plus I guess I'm a yammi fanboy now lol. hey mate you remember the name of the power commander you install on your bike? I might look into it further but I couldnt find one from a google search

Thank you very much, I was a bit hesitant to go bobber and I haven't any friends that has done it either so I just went for it and I'm happy I did :D

Yer some of them look so good and they are well I think anyway one of the best bikes to go Bobber with. Mine I have just gone the old lower the handlebars as mush as I can and I like the side profile it gives the bike. I have no photos of that as yet.

I'm definitely a fan of the Yamaha bobbers and I probably went toward ape hangers a little because I bought mine with Tbars and I really wanted a different look as well as comfort but nothing wrong with low bars at all.

how does it handle with the hangers?? Coz mine with the bars lowered is very good.

It handles pretty good, I would say better on the highway than my Tbars but slow riding its harder, atleast I find it harder slow riding but it might be just a matter of getting use to.

Thanks mate :D

Your very welcome

I feel the same when I watch motovlogs in the US, not sure How i'd handle it but I'll be giving it a go one day! :D

Thanks Mate :D
