BBBs02e31 | Final Walk Around of the Project V-Star 650 or XVS650 Bobber

[@zeronomon]

That looks pretty damn cool. It’s got this vintage post-apocalyptic look going on. Nice job 👍🏻

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate!

[@jeffsinfield2085]

When you look back to where you started with the birth of Dizzy to where he is now then I think you would have to say that he certainly picked up some attitude going through adolescence. It’s a great look that you have achieved and it must feel good to see all you hard work ideas come together so well. Glad you’re not selling straight away as you have to have some reward for all you efforts. Enjoy the ride.

[@iRidetas]

Thanks Jeff it was a pretty boring bike at the start and I think I've made it into something with a bit more attitude and go. Thanks for all the positive words of encouragement along the way!

[@jeffsinfield2085]

@@iRidetas Always welcome mate and always well deserved.

[@garthharpole6369]

Looking good my dude! Can’t wait to start building on mine next week!

[@iRidetas]

Cheers mate, they are a great bike to mod. Enjoy & keep me updated on how its going!

[@DuyNguyenCatScratch]

Lovin this xvs650, these videos are definitely an inspiration to get my v-star build going

[@iRidetas]

Cheers! Good luck with it! 👍

[@wolfeyes9357]

I tell it the way ot is...Ironhead and new Sportsters are nice, but nothing will be more reliable then a Japanese vtwin, especially a vstar... that is fact! Are you in England?

[@iRidetas]

Tasmania, Australia. Cheers

[@jamesmackinnon4568]

A great finish to a great project. Thanks for sharing all the work and how tos along the way. Enjoy it bro. Look forward to your next project.

[@iRidetas]

Cheers! I have one in mind now! 🤔🤔🤔

[@wolfeyes9357]

I have a 1974/75 stroker hardtail ironhead and live the vstar 650's and the box and the vulcan 800's. Your vstar is awesome!!!! Great bike.....do not require anything bigger!!! Bikers would love to have a HD flathead 45....it only has about 20hp!!!!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate had a 69 ironhead i sold about 5 years ago was a cool bike, thanks for your kind words!

[@antw3565]

Not surprised you're keeping this one. Looks and sounds great. A sweet ride. Looking forward to the next one.

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate! I'm really happy with this one!

[@motogspot]

Dizzy has come up a treat, has been good seeing all the work that has got you yo this stage 😁👍🏼

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed! I certainly did!

[@mr.7688]

Love it! I wish I could do that too. In Germany every part has to get inspected and you have to pay for each part which is mostly not worth because it's so expensive and a lot of parts are not even legal or allowed to ride. Dang I live in the wrong country. Even mirrors if I chose them and they are without a regulation number they are fined with 100 euro fine

[@iRidetas]

Fortunately Australia isnt that strict! Cheers 😀👍

[@clarkmale4372]

this is a beauty of a beast. So inspirational and aspirational! cheers

[@iRidetas]

[@TheMarcosdeo]

So good! I have a vstar650 too and your video inspired me to get the frisco/peanut tank. Im going to leave it bars metal too. It's a slow project for me but it's something to look forward too in the coming months. Thank you 🤙

[@iRidetas]

Mate really glad I inspired you to mod your bike! Cheers and good luck with the build!

You can replace the baffles with lollipops to keep your back pressure... keep it old school man. You did a great job with this one. I hope to see more videos on it in the future

[@alexndirangu4623]

ddue i can't fidn those bars anywhere all the z bars have a big gap where the handles meet in the middle.

Good to hear mate!

[@swegmeister1114]

Did you add more rust to the tank? the first video didn't look as rusty as what it looks like now

[@iRidetas]

Nope same tank

[@ThatBikerDad]

Hey buddy have you had this dyno'd to see it output figures over stock, I'd be interested to see what you've actually made or lost?

[@iRidetas]

Nope

[@ThatBikerDad]

@@iRidetas will you?

[@iRidetas]

Nope, not planing on it. Cant justify the expense at this point mate, its not a fast bike. Butt dyno says its more fun to ride im happy with that

[@DFPFTW]

Mate I hope someone sees this I might have stumbled upon a great tune for the xvs 650 22.5 low jet 108high jet Increase fuel bowl capacity via float bending Rak mod holes in stock box V&H short shot It cruises very very happy at 60mph & it’s a bit leaner with 108jet up top end so it pulls hard & has great mid range punch power. Am I wrong for this settings bc it rides so nice I just fell into this set up. Opinions wanted

[@iRidetas]

Sounds like a pretty standard combo for RAK then it would be 125 to 130 for pods

[@DFPFTW]

I have 120s what do you think 🤔?

[@iRidetas]

Would be better

[@DFPFTW]

I’ll keep you updated I want to see if I get that healthy “rich” feel on my top end with 120s and I am at 4th spot on me needle, 3.5 turns out too Thanks

[@DFPFTW]

@iridetas interesting I put the stock low jet in and 120 High jet and it feels great up top a lot of fuel and power. I kind of want my 22.5 low jet back in ( I just followed 650ccd.com rejet chart they say stay with stock low jets) low speed driving is more difficult with stock lows

Are you going for another project?

Definitely am!
