love the front spoke!

[@SailorDaniel]

Hella props on the build btw

[@danekennedymusic]

Love the bike especially the seat setup Do you remember what Roland Sand seat it was? Was wondering if it was the sportster seat or the softail one as on their website they look identical but no doubt they are a different size. Thank you in advance!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Dane Kennedy yes sportster one. You will have to do some fab work to the frame.

[@freddygarcia7154]

Am I the only one that noticed he flipped the forks. Perfect bike.

[@TailEndCustoms]

freddy Garcia thanks yeah had to to run the hd speedo hub correctly. Causes the brake to be in a weird position but guess you gotta give and take.

[@freddygarcia7154]

Tail End Customs I like it it's different. Plus having the disc brake on the other side shows off the wheel better. On my 1100 I did the xs front wheel swap and shaved the right hand brake mounts.

[@rebelscout423]

I'm about to score a shadow and "bobber" it. unfortunately, I don't know where to begin. how do the rear wheels look low? Suspension kit or chopping frames, etc...?

[@MikiedarkensvtSmith]

Love the paint on the bike and the exhaust is clean.The sissy bar/lic plate holder are you going to hide the wire that runs to the light or leave it as is?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks, I left it like that on purpose. It is cloth vintage wire so it's made to be shown. Wasn't really a way to hide it so I just showcased it. I dig it. Some may not.

[@MikiedarkensvtSmith]

I like it but was wondering if it was a meant to be or not finished.

[@scsparcrow]

Really impressed with your work and all the custom touches everywhere. The pipe ends are unique, self made I assume? Do you use any baffles in your pipes or are they just straight through?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks. Yes selfmade and straight pipes

[@LIONKILLER1986]

Hello I have 2000 Vstar . I was wandering what kind of throttle housing did you use so it would fit Vstar cable threads ? All what I can find is housing for Harleys :( Thank you !

[@JohnfaceMoto]

One of my favorites!

[@TailEndCustoms]

Johnface Moto thanks 👍🏼

[@williambyers5706]

Nice Build. I just about got my 2001 v star 650 dialed in. I noticed that this did not have the AIS. Did you do the AIS removal and was there a significant difference in performance?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks yes I did the AIS removal on all my vstars. I don't think it adds performance. It's more of a declutter and emissions removal. It does help remove a decel pop from what I hear but I always rejet and do pipes and air cleaner so I don't know the gains of doing AIS alone. Thanks

[@Antoniios11]

@tailendcustoms is this seat and fender available for purchase?

[@Olenka69-69]

The bike is beautiful, but the eggs on the tank is something.

[@bushwhookie1334]

Nice i have 2007 Silverado 650 but where is your air filter

[@TailEndCustoms]

Under the tank. Do a google search for GAK mod. Thanks

[@mikeharrison6570]

Where did you get the seat? And forward control kit?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Roland Sands seat. Not direct bolt on. Forward controls are stock

[@jaronhalen3397]

Where did you get those pegs. I have a v-star 650 bobber and am looking for those exact pegs. please let me know where you got them. Thanks, Jay

[@TailEndCustoms]

Ebay. You'll have to modify it

[@hnfexteriorcleaning522]

Will the seat fit straight on or is there work to be done

[@TailEndCustoms]

DGRE onehundred you’ll have to do work to it. Had to bend it a little and cut the seat rail out and rewelded a flat rail.

[@yburi]

Tail End Customs great job. I am part way through bobbing mine and wondering how you mounted the seat. It looks like the fender is mounted to the swing arm and you have your seat bolted to the fender. Did that not stop the swing arm from moving?

[@TailEndCustoms]

I had to use a hardtail strut to make rigid. Then I cut out the stock seat crossrail and welded in a flat stock piece to get it a little lower. Then yes I mounted to frame and to rear fender.

[@yburi]

+Tail End Customs ah ok I love the look but I'm not up for the ride on a hard tail so I guess that leaves me less options. Sciatic nerve is a bitch, 22 years working a trade wont tolerate a hardtail as awesome as it looks. Beautiful job though man.

[@jeffrausa3753]

That is completely bad ass. where are the carbs?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks. They are under the tank. It's called GAK mod.

[@jeffrausa3753]

[@dregosteel]

How do you make your vstars rigid? Are your welding them or removing the strut and replacing with a link?

Front wheel is 21"?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Siegfried Stolz yes

What did you pull the front end from? Not stock is it? I been looking around for one for 2004 xvs1100 project I've been doing, and keep getting tempted to use stuff from older model dirt/trail bikes.. ?? almost looks like what you did here? If so fuck ye, rad, and its what i needed to have the nuts to try it! lol Any advice either way?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Stock front end. Just use upper covers from classic model and some gaitors. Thanks

[@arnaoutw]

Can you sit a passenger on that? It's gorgeous

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks. I didn't make it with that intent but I'm sure it will.

[@CBlakley98]

is that the stock front tire or a larger one?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Harley 21"

[@AlMikeChris]

is that just an aftermarket solo seat? looking to do a SS Custom BKB rear fender... that seat looks like it would fit and flow withthe lines of the tank and fender.

[@TailEndCustoms]

It's a Roland Sands seat. Requires slight fab work and hardtail strut

[@AlMikeChris]

+Tail End Customs thanks!!

[@Vidar.m]

looks like it would be easy enough to build a hardtail on one of those bikes, but it has the apperance of a hardtail bike, so perhaps no point in doing so. looks and sounds really nice !
