Bobber Build Yamaha V Star Dragstar XVS 650 AIS Removal

Part 1 of 2 Time lapse Bobber build including AIS removal

[@broke123]

Removing the fenders makes VStar instantly look cooler imo

[@thejerseyj1636]

Cool bike, and the extra added attraction of your MGB GT made it double nice !

[@abigail_mcleod]

I love this bike more than my old HD Sporster cuz its looks more HD Softail . I like your patience building yours to a Bobber Sir. I like the bobber idea but i can not have it because i am not seasson rider, i ride even in minus temp or light snow from home to work or else where . my bike is in my channel if you like to see.

You smack the brass piece out with a file or chisel and hammer and a 45 ACP shell tabs right in leave the lid for the casing out so you can extract it later if you want to

Good Video and Helpful as well.

[@simonelomax7465]

I enjoy them too ;), thank you for sharing.

[@whitelightning3330]

I always wondered what that black thing was on the left side of the bike. Now it seems I can take it off and throw it away

A mi siempre me ha gustado Las motos y esta en especial perfecta

Beautiful job sir!!

What is it with everyone doing Bobber builds it’s like going backwards in evolution you take off the suspension and put 2 little springs under the seat, just don’t try and ride any distance and make sure all the roads you use are new.

[@betternamechosen5678]

You don't take off the suspension on these to Bob them. They use the stock rear suspension.

[@koreybercaw8694]

How do I contact the creator of the video and the page. I have questions about some of his supplies. I have 2 of these projects going on and some of his tools would make things easier

[@gavinoliver8074]

Hi, sorry to bother you. I'm getting an xvs1100 on the weekend and I'm planning on making a bobber from it. May I ask where you sourced your reg plate bracket/light and seat bases/seats from. I watched your 1100 video and was mighty impressed. Love the fit and finish.

Blue collar bobbers out of Sandy utah

@@CleanNuts thanks so much for the reply!

[@knuckleheadrider5505]

Hey what seat base did you use and do you have a link to where I can get it...?

[@MrJustus88]

Would like to know as well

[@knuckleheadrider5505]

Hey Clean Nuts. When can I get the 12mm compressing brass endcaps. I have been advised that here in ireland they only do 10mm or 15mm. Nothing in a 12. Any help you cannoffer in sourcing is greatly appreciated..

[@CleanNuts]

They are forsale on uk eBay

[@pauljenkinson9277]

Hi there. Great video.Just starting an xvs650 bobber conversion myself. Can you recall which pipes you fitted , and did you need to rejet? Can't wait for the next episode

[@pauljenkinson9277]

Mines a 97 so no AI unit.👍

[@coyote102076]

My question is, on a mildly tuned Star 650 ( debaffled & rejetted with modified airbox) is there any performance gain from removing the AIS? Or is this mostly just done for visual aspects? It for sure looks much cleaner with all that junk removed.

[@CleanNuts]

No performance gain from removing AIS its just there to reduce emissions when tested It maybe illegal to remove in some countries I didn't like the way it looked

[@coyote102076]

good to know. In the USA the legality varies state by state, and in some states can vary by what county of the state you live in. We do not have smog testing here, so I am in the clear if I want to remove mine. For now. Till they do something stupid like ...................... change the law 3 days after I remove it. hahahaha! THANKS for the fast reply!!!!

[@flyguythefreakinpuertorica3802]

Question, is a V star a bobber dragstar but with mods? I’m trying to figure out if they are the same bike. I’m trying to get a 98 VStar 650 and would like to turn it into a bobber dragstar if that’s the case.

[@coyote102076]

Dragstar is the european name for them - V-Star the American name. Same bike.

[@heli-man-]

All that powder coating then hand painted cylinders, I bet that looked crap.

[@Navalkraft]

I'm building an 01 v star myself, where did you get most your parts from. Great in depth vid

[@CleanNuts]

Blue collar Bobbers Sandy Utah have you seen my other build videos?

[@Navalkraft]

Ok I was looking at their products and yes I've watched a couple after watching this

[@rickandersonnz]

@@CleanNuts was it a kit or just a pick and mix

[@jeremyfright9710]

Where's part 2?

[@CleanNuts]

Jeremy Fright I’m yet to finish it!!!!

[@bartweres]

Hi could you tell us from where you get this compression bolts for ais pipes. Thanks

[@CleanNuts]

They are plumbing fittings

[@user-yw7so8tn5g]

Hello, I am from Iraq. I want a bike engine. Yamaha Drakstar has a size of 650S from America to my country and the amount of money. I thank you.
