Custom Yamaha xv1600 roadstar / wildstar bobber

[@ZempelProductions]

Beautiful. Amazing detail, nice choices of flat vs bright finishes, subtle custom stuff like fuel pump swap for ignition, love that rear fender, nice nice nice. Excellent finish work, a real show bike. I want to do similar to mine. This from an old restorer of 40's Indian, 50's 60's 70's HDs, Nortons, and some Hondas, Suzuki, Yamaha, thinking the Roadstar is the best v-twin of em all. Half the price of an HD and double the value. HD is catching up with twin spark twenty years late, but still belt primary and timing, jeez.....

[@handyman6858]

nice i just picked one up , already bobbed. The guy did a lot of custom work its beautiful he gave me a great deal . 03 road star 1600cc 60k on it. very little work needs to be done and runs just like yours in the video. cool video👍👍 never rode over a 750cc. I used to turn all my bikes in the 80s crotch rockets KZs and CBs now a cruiser with power.

[@rammlied16]

Was the tach plug and play? Or did you have to wire it? Looks awesome

[@exit9874]

Had to wire. Remembered it was a bitch to figure out what cables was suppose to go where

[@Di3zell]

Beauty ! What tank is that Phil ?

[@exit9874]

+CM FA Thanks, 2002, 833 sportster tank

[@thomasdanet3883]

Hey dude. First of all, congrats for such a neat job. I won't lie, I'm in the process of bobbing my RS and your bike is my main reference (I'm not copying though, don't worry, lots of very different things in my build but the "spirit" is pretty close). May I ask which fork gaiters you used? Trying to find some with the same look & feel than yours. Are these Daystar?

[@exit9874]

Thanks. No worries...getting copied is the ultimate compliment ;) But I´m afraid I dont remember where I got them. Bought them on ebay. I just measured the diamater of the forks and searched on the internet. No name gaiters that was pretty cheap

[@thomasdanet3883]

Alright, I'll dig deeper :P. What I really like on yours is that they are barely wider than the outer fork diameter. All I can find so far is sticking out and I really don't like it, I'm just looking to black out the front fork so I'd like something as narrow as possible. Let me know if you're intersted in seeing the build, metal work is almost finished.

[@BlakeBarrett]

So clean! Have you ever considered bar-end indicators?

[@exit9874]

Thanks. Actually thought about it but decided that it didnt work with the overall look

[@4444design]

awesome ride! like the 16" on front and tail - did you use a yamaha rim for the aft-wheel? spokes tailor made or do the front-laces fit?

[@exit9874]

Stock rims. I just removed the discs on the front rim and added the new tires

[@deserthillbilly64]

nice

[@imrealzombie1]

Your tires are tubeless?

[@echo9246]

Any chance you made a mold of that seat mount? Great job on a BA build!!!

[@exit9874]

Fredric Echols no, sorry. But its easy really. First time I've made anything with fiber glass and it took around 3-4 hours not incl the clay hardening time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3WznoKEjJypnbs

[@SpiketheJackal]

Did you make the coil bracket/system youre self or can you buy it like this with the led lights and that speedo is really awsome what brand is it?

[@exit9874]

Spike the Jackel The ignition coil holder is bought. The bracket in satin black with the two led lights in it is made by me. And the speedo is a daytona 200 speedometer

[@SpiketheJackal]

+philip.j Nice very nice, and the coils are they from dyna / dynatech and what are the specs / amount of Ohm?

[@exit9874]

I think it was 2,2ohm. Also used the dynatec 8mm suppression plug wires

[@spikethejackel]

+philip.j Thanks dude.

[@thomasgaffney7282]

Nice bike. Where did you get your pannier bag? It's hard to come across one for the V-star bobbed without it being $400+

[@exit9874]

La Rosa, Ebay...was around 150 pounds or something I believe

[@Lennovich]

Is the exhaust the original one that you cut? Nice Bike!!

[@exit9874]

No, it's vance & hines long shots that I cut

[@chriswassall3766]

You mention the tank being a sportster tank, did it or the bike require much modification to get it to fit and sit right?

[@chriswassall3766]

+philip.j Thanks for the advice & its a great looking bike you got there. I'm currently looking for an xv1600 in good condition to start a build. I may be back with more questions hehe.

[@exit9874]

Chris Wassall No problem. Good luck

[@chriswassall3766]

+philip.j quick question on your speedo, is it's an electronic one running from the speed sensor in the transmission? Or is it an independent GPS one? Thank you

[@exit9874]

Electronic speedo. The speed sensor is a white cable that's in the meter assembly on top of the tank, if I remembered it correctly

[@johnruiz3834]

What is that gadget in front of the sattell bag

[@auris546]

from which bike is the gas tank?

[@tomcata1467]

Great looking bike and it's a beast on the road, I know, I have one, too. Only drawback, is you can never have a biker babe on the backseat with you.......solo riding only. If you are married, I am sure you wife is smiling about that. Cool, looking lines on the bike, though, Good job. It's a Harley eater for sure. I have a lot of fun, with Harley, 96s and 103s, chew 'em up and spit 'em out,.

[@kennethbecerra7362]

Can anyone point me to the right website for wheels and tires like these? Thanks a lot!!

[@gregkeith7702]

Where did you get the seat and seat pan, springs, etc?

[@exit9874]

Seat: Zero Engineering Seat Pan: Homemade with fiberglass Springs: Barrel solo seat springs (Ebay)

[@garrettpoll921]

Are those the stick forks without the covers?

[@exit9874]

Yes, but I've removed the front brackets/tabs (for the fender), and lowered them 2 inches with progressive suspension. Used Scotch brite on the chrome that shows and painted the rest black.

[@irmagomez1638]

what are the tires on it? where can I buy some that look like that?

[@exit9874]

+Irma Gomez avon Safety Mileage MkII

[@DarkNightCruza]

Where’d you get the license plate kit

[@exit9874]

Dont remember but someone asked before. Look through the comments and you'll probably find it

[@luckydog9500]

I like the rear fender brace and fender! I am building one of these too. I would like to know about that ignition switch. Also that cover under the seat,where is that from? Thanks!

[@exit9874]

Thanks It's a Harley ignition switch, dynotek coils and bracket. I made the cover myself out of fiberglass. Gonna post a video of the build later on. Will add some pics of how I made the cover if you're interested.

[@exit9874]

Got pics of the build up here now Yamaha roadstar/wildstar complete bobber build

[@andreasmelin8051]

Tog min kommentar bort? Jag försökte säga att vi bor i närheten och håller också på med Bobber. Har själv en xvs650 som är mer eller mindre klar men ska ge mig på en wildstar tänkte jag.

[@marocar2351]

Skopiuje i zrobię taki sam dla siebie

[@drakeforce8937]

What year is that bike

[@exit9874]

Think it was an -99

[@Gubbjaevel]

var har du köpt svingväskan ifrån?

[@exit9874]

ebay. Larosa är tillverkaren. Bra mycket bättre kvalitet än deras sadlar. Jag var jävligt nöjd med väskan
