2005 Yamaha V Star 650 Custom Bobber "Zombie"

This is a 2005 Yamaha V Star 650 I customized. Call it Zombie. It's was a fun build. Little different than my normal but was able to mix my style into it. I think it came out pretty sweet. Thanks for looking. No music on this one for the haters. lol. Thanks Tail End Customs
Thanks to Steffan at Zombie Performance for letting me use his sweet logo and for the sick bars.
Thanks to Sic713 for fine paintjob and for dealing with me while we got the green right. Lol.

You build the nicest stock framed and tanked Vstar's I've seen. Your vids get me motivated to complete my single tube back bone and sportster tank Vstar build.

[@Tommygun243]

This is why i love the dragstar 650 and 1100's there's so many ways to customise em. I have the same bike but its done completely different 🤘

[@robertbenz]

The bike looks awesome in person! Went on a ride with the owner yesterday. Great attention to detail. I am glad is a local shop here in town (Houston, TX). The video and pictures don't make justice. The other bikes in the website look also awesome. Keep doing a great job guys.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

You're welcome. It's great to see some true custom fabrication regarding metric v-twins. It takes time and skill, I know. Ride safe.

[@9blasphemer]

I love the gas view window. I really want to add this to my bike. You guys do awesome work, thank you for sharing

[@swolenshut]

Great attention to detail sir. Very original.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Glad to hear people are loving it.

[@bobbygarrison3122]

Love that front tire tread, looks old school.

[@wilhelmlillyhammer9818]

Sick start button.

[@aidanfar2584]

Ty found some at an auto parts store but took forever . For some reason where I live no one knew about clear fuel lines lol.

[@rhomotor]

Real nice bobber. I like that you guys got rid of that god awful chrome on the side and valve covers.

[@drewcheek7182]

Who the fuck cares about a zombie apocalypse when you could kill em with this beast💯

[@jak2388]

That is an absolute beauty. Very nice work guys.

[@cliffamey6341]

awesome looking V Star bobber

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you

[@jeepurz57]

beats the hell outa most the billet barges and occ crap ! chop on!

[@kinghoffbeers4221]

Really cool 😁👍👍

[@TailEndCustoms]

King Hoffbeers thanks!

[@JoaoVerissimoYT]

Man, insane job, you really put talent in it! Luv it

[@mickeymousebiker1]

The tank looks a bit like an axed stock Harley tank. Is it a modified stocker? If so, you did a knock-out job on it! The Coker "Goodyear Eagle" tires look boss, man. You sweated the details to create a righteous Star. Great paint! Ride safe!

[@AndreyNaranjo]

dat sound, eargasm

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@epride38]

That sound so healthy.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Haha thanks. Well let me know would love to see it.

[@Carlosmototech]

that thing looks bad ass

[@donaldbranscom9981]

Great job on this bike!! Very original. I am glad you did not use red rims. It has been overdone.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you very much. Yeah I was gettin burnt out on the red aswell.

[@iskateyourate]

I'm 16 from Britain and would dream to own one of these bikes, but sadly I'm not old enough

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you. It is a honda rebel tank customized

[@joshuawinkler6536]

oh wow great job

[@TailEndCustoms]

They were a last minute detail so they are vinyl. I would rather have had it painted but it works.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you

[@spaceiabox4685]

Dude, awesome as always. Really like attention to details. Follow-up question. I've noticed that on all vstars you "take care of" you just deinstall the oem air filter can and I'm guessing you install filters directly on the intakes of the carb. What kinda filters do you use for that? any tips?

[@PK22-b7v]

AMAZING work !!! This would look a million times better with a wider rear wheel/tire !!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks good thing I was only going for thousands better... ;)

[@PK22-b7v]

Haha !! Stunning bike and fantastic transformation !!! Can it be done though ?? A wider rear tire...lets say 250 ???? Would need rear swing arm to be widened and offset on the rear wheel ....

[@TailEndCustoms]

Widest in that swing arm is 200 I believe but definitely would have to widen the swingarm. Possibly have to make a transaxle if the offset is too much.

[@Madkilljoy]

It would take a lot to widen the rear tire on a v star 650, the are shaft driven and a bitch to widen

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks

[@canadaoutlaw]

I freakin LOVE this! Props guys!!

[@TheCheeberz]

When you lowered the front of the bike, did you just move the down tubes up in the triple tree? Looks like that is what you did. I am looking at all my options for lowering the front end of my bike and looks like that is what most people are doing instead of changing out the springs.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Yes pretty much

[@pavalentine01]

Is that a honda vlx tank or is it a custom ? Love this bike cool as it gets . Only thing wrong with v star bobbers are that the tanks are to big this tank is perfect for this bike.

[@johandumoulin6652]

really good job What is tank please ?

[@jrhennly]

Thanks!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks I appreciate it

[@rsonnyjamesm]

Hey - great bike! I'm new to motorcycling and I wanted to know if that clear tube on the gas tank was a fuel sight gauge? Thanks man. Great work.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks yes it is a fuek sight gauge

[@TailEndCustoms]

It's just fuel line but I got it from Pandemonium Choppers

[@jonathantaveras1843]

For that gas tank to fit what did you have to do because I love it that’s what I need to complete my build

[@TailEndCustoms]

It’s a rebel gas tank if I remember right. You’ll have to custom cut the bottom to fit right.

[@jonathantaveras1843]

Thank you so much

[@nilsswennen556]

Outstanding V Star man! Did you use the stock rims, to fit the oldschool tires? How much would such a modified rebel tank cost?

[@MrDaddyvspapi]

Beasty asssss bobber

[@mralvaronajera]

The Clip on Handlebars, where do you get those from? How do you install the controls on the triple tree?

[@lakecrab]

Good Job!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks man

[@lgazkayaoglu8030]

did u change fork with sport v star fork?.beacuse thats a classik v star and when u customized it ıts not look the same but ım wondring that ı might be wrong beacuse of black color.

[@groundnpound702]

I have a vstar classic and I'd like to put some clip ons onto it. I'm a motorcycle noob, any ideas on how to get started? It seems directly underneath the triple tree the fork size changes in a conical shape. I'm not sure how to fit for clip ons, do I need to replace the forks? I think they're 41mm.. Thanks for your time.

[@안문광]

Yamaha 👍

[@ockandretti]

Bad ass. What size is the front tire?

[@muknup]

I love it!!!

[@jansenkos6637]

AMAZING bobber! Great work! Is there a kit available to relocate the ignition switch into the triple tree? It looks great and free's up the bars!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you. No sorry there is no kit for that.

[@jansenkos6637]

Is it a difficult mod?

[@TailEndCustoms]

No not really, just get switches that fit in the riser holes. You will have to relocate the handlebars though. I believe they were 14mm switches

[@jansenkos6637]

Great, thanks !

[@elcanapas18]

Amazing

[@nary4tom96]

Im also in houston area.. wantin to buy new set of whitewall tires but all of them r tubeless..can I still mount those on my spoke wheels n put tube in it?

[@lakecrab]

Are the green stripes on the wheels decal or painted?

[@waider]

What is that front tire it looks bigger than the normal one? Did you have to make modifications to fit it? Looks fuckin great!

[@sanyomadrin8868]

Nice bro....

[@ray121080]

I need a seat and rear fender like that

[@xclockwrkskinx]

hi do you have any pictures on how you mounted the gas tank? im very interested. email me please.

[@BriskChance]

Please oh please see this and respond to it, was wondering if you switched out the tank or not, still looks bulbous like the stock tank, and if you did switch it out how'd you get around the double backbone? I worry that my stock tank will interfere with my clip-ons whilst turning

[@TailEndCustoms]

Yes it is a honda rebel tank modified with a new bottom. Thanks

[@nary4tom96]

What gas tank is that? Was it from honda shadow?

[@kristianthuesen7517]

What exhaust is that? Awesome Bobber!

[@TheCaboose36]

Are these 650 motors a single pin crank?

[@aidanfar2584]

Where would u get the clear pipe for gas tank

[@DaMeXiCaN509]

How long did this project take awesome job

[@TailEndCustoms]

Couple of months. Thanks

[@TailEndCustoms]

No its stock. Just painted forks.

[@jrhennly]

What material are the tube covers made from?

[@Batman_Pancakes]

What size rear tire are you using? Is it a tubeless tire on a sealed rim or stock? I've been trying to find vintage tires for a v star for a while but can never find one to fit the rear.

[@TailEndCustoms]

I believe it was a 5.00 x 15. By eternal rise. You can't find them in the US. Good luck and yeah not much to choose from.

[@Batman_Pancakes]

Tail End Customs cool, thanks for the info and respones. Bike looks awesome, well done gents!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks I appreciate it

[@oldgreen100]

are u a fan of "blacking out"?

[@ezequielefrenarte]

im your suscriptor number 1000!!!

[@TheJHamel1997]

so i just got an 06 star 650 classic and I'm looking to do some custom work on it... i really like theses pipes, what are they and if you don't mind me asking how much did you get them for thanks

[@TailEndCustoms]

They are custom I made off the bike. Thanks

[@TheJHamel1997]

ok cool thanks for getting back to me didn't expect an answer that quick

[@TailEndCustoms]

+TheJHamel1997 no problem. Check out wryepipeworks. He makes several pipes to the public

[@EvendimataE]

which is better vlx600 or vstar 650?

[@jchallyday]

Hello, what is the size of the tires? Thank you

[@TailEndCustoms]

I believe it was 5.00x16 front and 5.00x15 rear.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Jc Ha also this set was actually chinese tires from kikker5150. Super hard to find. But this was years ago. They probably have some similar these days. Good luck

[@gregory.pierre]

Hi, I got the same bike, ur bike is incredible. Can u tell me what is the gaz tank u put on it ? i dont like the original dragstar Gaz tank and im looking for another one. I think this one is perfect. can u tell me what is the model ? Thanks

[@TailEndCustoms]

Gregory Pierre thanks. It is a honda rebel gas tank with the bottom modified to fit the stock backbone.

[@gregory.pierre]

thanks for ur answer, i Appreciate :) I go on Ebay right now to order it. Thanks.

[@gregory.pierre]

@@TailEndCustoms where can I get those drag bars?

[@TailEndCustoms]

They are clip ons by Zombie Performance

[@gregory.pierre]

@@TailEndCustoms i think its unavailable. i can't find it arfff

[@TailEndCustoms]

Well it is for sale

[@the8pathsOM]

where can I get those drag bars?

[@zak203]

Hello, what kind of tires did you put in the back? I want to put the Firestones tires on dragstar to have a less thick curve but a friend told me that it is impossible to put fine tires on this type of rim ... thx guys and good ride

[@TailEndCustoms]

Mr Barbak these were eternal rise chinese tires. Super hard to find and would never get them again. The rear style like that is hard to find due to it being a 15". Firestone has a dirt track tire that looks pretty cool and I've used it on two others.

[@zak203]

thank u so much !

[@theprinceofhorror7730]

Do you guys replace the engines or leave them stock? I'm just curious because I'm looking into a bobber project and I want to do one of these or a Honda 650/750. Also, what's the average cost of one of your projects? BP estimate?

[@TailEndCustoms]

No reason to replace a good motor. Usually find them with less than 10k miles. Also usually runs $6500 and up. I'm currently not taking on any client builds at this time. Thanks

[@theprinceofhorror7730]

No worries! I appreciate the info. You guys have some great builds too. Thanks a lot!

[@TailEndCustoms]

+Prince of Horror thank you. I appreciate the compliments

[@theprinceofhorror7730]

NP, maybe once I get a bike I'll come see you guys. Where are you located? Oh, any idea how you could fabricate horns onto some handlebars without making them cumbersome?

[@TailEndCustoms]

+Prince of Horror pasadena, tx. Yeah there's a few guys out that that could make something like that.

[@Madkilljoy]

I want to know where you got the front forks, if they are stock or custom?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Stock forks. Just made fork covers

[@francescocoti8083]

fuck yeaaaaaaa great bike bro!

[@Chavi707]

What seize front spoke and tire did you use?

[@TailEndCustoms]

16" stock vstar classic rim. Tire is 130/90-16 I believe

[@mariomartins8885]

Nice bike. can you tell me what tire you use on rear wheel?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Mário Martins it is a eternal rise 15x5.00 tire I believe. Chinese tire and supper hard to find. Only company I know of that may sell you one is Kikker5150 unfortunately.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Steel

[@cesarluis911]

did you still use the fuel pump or did you do something different

[@TailEndCustoms]

Still has fuel pump

[@cesarluis911]

+Tail End Customs thank you for the respone

[@cesarluis911]

also did you do anything to the motor or kept it stock

[@TailEndCustoms]

+cesar salinas stock motor. Just did GAK mod and rejetted. Thanks

[@user-tz8wf2oo6t]

good！

[@ogiarev23]

Hey mate, what tank and tires did you use here?

[@TailEndCustoms]

ogiarev23 tank is a highly modified honda rebel tank and tires are chinese eternal rise tires that are impossible to find.

[@ogiarev23]

Tail End Customs love the tank so much! First tank I've seen that's different from stock that fits the double bone. Mind helping me out with how you modified it?

[@TailEndCustoms]

ogiarev23 just cut out the bottom and redid the tunnel to fit the backbone.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Modified Honda Rebel gas tank

[@joshuawinkler6536]

where did u get those decals

[@TailEndCustoms]

Cut them on my plotter and it's paint

[@TailEndCustoms]

130/90-16

[@uranDTsure]

Looks like the font from zombie performance

[@TailEndCustoms]

It is. Steffan is my bud and I asked first. He loves it. His bars too.

[@uranDTsure]

Tail End Customs sick! I really like the setup. Very clean

[@IgorJemaytis]

how much is this bike?

[@jordanterry4357]

I bought it from him for 5k if I remember properly. The bike got tons of looks but was a real bitch to ride for more than a few miles bc of the ridged frame.

[@TheBGHellKnight]

Nice bike, though I wouldn't call it a monster. Just seems like a really uncomfortable position.

[@TailEndCustoms]

It's not to bad. Wasn't really built for cross country anyway. Thanks

[@TailEndCustoms]

$6,000

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you

[@TailEndCustoms]
