BOBBER BUILD - Yamaha Virago 1100 [HD]

[@kant6934]

I'm a 60 year old grandmother living in South Central L.A. , CA.....I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed every minute of your video! I played your music while I pulled weeds too! Thank you for an awesome video!!! You never know who's watching! ❤😊

[@stevegreenly1964]

I Just got a 97 XV1100 and for a 130 pound 61 years old guy with tools it is a fricking monster .. this video is inspirational in a big way. Thank you man

[@carlostonebanks]

Came for the virago, stayed for the music

[@jphillips360noscope]

*FINALLY* a youtube "ultimate bobber build" vid where it doesn't stand for Bolt On Build....Well done!

[@artiecisneros4691]

My 1990 Virago 1100 was the best bike I have ever owned, wish I still had it. Your talent and all the work you did on this bike, you left me speechless, wow. Thanks for sharing.

[@Malone5472]

Not a TIG welder in sight, the 110 flux welder was the icing on the cake, Your an inspiration to all that can do but don't have the expensive means. Beautifull .

[@V8SKULLS]

Brother, just found your channel and this absolutely beautifully done build. Young man, you are talented, you have a vision, and definitely the touch. As a father of 2 grown girls, and watched them become the women they are. You are one of a kind. So as a dad, this makese proud to see the young man you are. Keep this up. You got the right stuff. God Bless You. Thank you for sharing your story, Vision, journey with us all

Классный аппарат получился, как из фильма "Ковбой Мальборо и Харлей Дэвидсон"! Как у Микки Рурка!

Чувак мне не к чему придраться. Твои видео вдохновляют на созидание. Благодарю тебя.

The band is killin' it at 22:08 and for a punk band to do a nod to Southern Rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd is genius.

[@nitrofrogg431]

Dude, I have an 85 XV1000 I have torn apart for this exact purpose.......you've given me so much inspiration.

[@divinggiants8760]

Nicest shaft driven bobber I’ve seen. Good music too

[@adamlittleboxes4849]

outstanding work, on both the bike and video. beautiful end result, and impressive work-arounds throughout.

[@wiltondamasio2023]

It was stylish and aggressive, just the way I like it. beautiful work!

[@michaelb.42112]

What a cool bike to customize. I am a huge fan of anything Yamaha makes especially when it comes to their musical bass guitars and related equipment. Yamaha makes some of the best in the business and my basses are Alembic, and Yamaha, Yamaha amps, and their bikes are also AMAZING ! I can't wait to watch this. Popcorn in hand., Shaft drive is virtually maintenance free.

[@calysagora3615]

Brilliant! Best XV1100 Bobber I've seen! Well done! I always thought that the tank had to be changed or tilted to make that model look good. I stand corrected. I would weld a support between the frame sections you cut off though, to support the suspension mounts and don't twist or crack the frame. You could avoid the double layers of tubing in the exhaust joints by simply cutting away sections of the overlapping flange and weld the butt ends together. Enough effort would make it look seamless. Perhaps black oxide? (like TrueBlue) Bra gjort, Norge börjar komma ifatt! 😉

[@calysagora3615]

I'm back! Still watching these bobber build videos, trying to save up to an XV. Just watched your 535 build video, and the one thing I learnt watching many videos of basically all V-Twin builds is that I don't like the sound of short pipes. Long open pipes, preferably the rear half being one size bigger, gives a much deeper rumbling tone that I like better at any rev. The XV Series are not loud bikes, so they do well with open pipes, and typically sounds like much bigger bikes. More so the longer the plumbing. If you want to keep the 535 wrap-around short pipe style, just make another loop!

[@par4par72]

I love that Bobbed look with the white walls. Not so much with the Ape Hangers personally (That's just me). I like the Beach Bars for comfort, ride and look. To me it fits. Nice build...totally jelly !!!

[@larrymansfield9393]

Nice return on that one. She turned out beautifully.

[@luisangelcampos1681]

What else can Sele ask of life, it was super, thanks for sharing greetings from Costa Rica how do we say super good note here,👍👍🇨🇷

[@BigD11B]

I love it. I have seen many Yamaha bobbers and yours is the best XV bobber I have seen. The finish combo of chrome, black and clear coat looks awesome. The rear section looks excellent. I like that you kept the fenders. Most people leave out the front fender which I don't care for.

[@bigcheeseman6570]

I walkways loved these bikes even stock they look like their own thing

[@miiOKki]

Holy sh*t. Thank you for the inspiration for my current Virago project. Electronics scare me but after this I'm going for it.

[@levarris14]

OMG. omg. omg.... what a beauty ! I once owned a TR1 wit 1000 ccm V2, and I had the same ideas, but I didnt make it.... what a beauty ! but no chance to get a ticket for the stree legal !

[@paulknowles9727]

Stunning work of ART. Just bought an 1100...Watch this space :D

[@kcbeerslinger]

Nice job youngster. Good choice of music too. The white wall tires really make the bike to me. Do another bike if you get a chance.

[@markus789a]

Super Bobber and super 70`s Musik.I like it

[@kikemotors6138]

One of the best videos iv seen in a while great build!

[@UncleWally3]

Rattle-can air cooled bobber? Brilliant!

[@javierlopezmartinez7337]

Eres un artista, me has dado varias ideas para cambiarle a mi trike, muchas gracias y un saludo

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Way to go Tripper! You took the last and ugliest bike in the world and made it look very decent as a bobber. Very well executed.

[@zebsprohar594]

I ride with a mc n I have no problem keeping up with the best of em with my 98,1100virago. Seeing this really makes me wanna do a rebuild lol. Good workmanship bro. No great. F in awesome

[@ANDROID204]

Best looking xv1100 out there

[@aderiley6592]

Great looking bike! One of the best XV bobbers I've seen. Thanks for sharing ✌

[@thomaspoitureau]

Waw magnifique super boulot French friend

[@pawlack]

I was about to yell when I saw the rear spring replaced with a bar, then you reveal "temporary"... what a way to build suspense in your video while building .. suspension :D. I'm sorry I'll find my way out on my own.

[@orlandorojas439]

Great build. I always wanted to bobber my Virago, this is very inspiring.

[@tonystone3397]

Great job thanks for posting I really enjoyed watching this build. Good luck pal.

[@mrmoto2715]

Good music, cool bike 👍

[@RmfDiz]

Damn. This has to be the only virago I've ever looked at and thought...."what a good looking bike"

[@gregoriannrex5351]

Kapitalny projekt i wykonanie, muzyka na końcu też robi robotę 👍

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

The way Yamaha should have offered it. They'd sell a bunch!

[@oxcid8000]

Amazing bike, you make peoples want to built bad boys bike's

[@74dartman13]

Wow! Even cooler than the first build!👍😎

[@georgenewsome292]

Awesome video and the baddest bike build in my opinion I wanna build or buy one EXACTLY like that one

[@johnnypsr]

Great build! You have to let us hear them as well.

[@DanielMartinez-ml6oi]

[@mariusbugiades5597]

beautiful bike congratulations, I have no words, it is wonderful ♥ ️ I also have a virago XV 750

[@paultoner1]

Really good job. Always reckoned the Virago was a difficult shape to build a halfway to decent bobber out of, but you've knocked it out the park. Great work.

[@MHLivestreams]

Definitely agree, this is better than most. Excellent work.

[@paint1016]

Looks awesome. A springer would have looked good on it

[@norbert07]

You don't need much money to fulfill your dreams aged.... 👍😎 Have a great time and a lot if fun with your cool bikes👍😎 Greetings from old Germany

Sweet bike dude, great job !!

[@rogerventura1606]

Great job 👏

[@alexcalmets9633]

Awesome video!! I’m very interested in getting into details on your wiring. I opened my headlight to switch to a LED and i couldn’t believe how many wires were stuffed in there How did you get it to look so clean? If I decide to not delete as many wires as you, what wound you do for the all the wires

[@jarronhaleysorrell]

Awesome build

[@gerlag8213]

Sick poppy ❤👍🏾😁

[@Timetonut]

The bike looks so good in the beginning I'm sort of heart broken to see it chopped.

[@Timetonut]

Alright, I like the stainless look after removing the paint, the sissy bar is great, the head lamp and tires are so gorgeous. I'm not sure I like the handle bars, but never having used any like that, they might be okay. Yeah, the white walls sell this more than anything else.

[@TheAiwa1521]

Great build. Looking to minimising my wiring. Did you just get rid of everything you felt wasnt needed or follow a list/diagram

[@JANNIBAKIRLIS1970]

Sehr schönes Motorrad👍

[@hhh1762]

oh man! overall its a good job. but learn how to weld things together, piece that u removed from the torch its called scale, it provides distribiution of shielding gas, less grinding after and protect weld from atmosfere gases. anyway good job!

[@btfeltcher]

Awesome bike builds and videos. They are hypnotic. 👍🏻☀️

[@ryleemcmillin3993]

Sick rebuild! This is exactly what I want to do with my ‘96 XV 1100! What are the odds you’re on the east coast and want to do another one just like it 😉

Thanks! unfortunately I live in Norway hahah

Sounds awesome!

[@bennyjohn205]

this is a dope ass build. did you already have everything planned out or go with the flow? how many hours did you spend on it all together? best build ive seen so far!!!!

[@rumennikolov8706]

it was pretty good build. The only thing that you can do next time is to use stainless steel exhaust pipes.

[@ΑποστόληςΖησίμου]

Amazing job man keep it up ( I think fork boots would suit the bike as well)🔥🔥🔥

[@pulehushortribs157]

very cool, thank you

[@kkeate]

Great job.... What did you use to strip the tank and fenders?

[@lucasprod2798]

good job guys !

[@celticrebell]

Awesome build! Nice details, love the bare tank and fenders. The video gives a nice timelapse of your work!

[@CoalMoto]

Awesome!

[@Tobi-cz6yq]

Totally enjoyed watching this video. The outcome made me so jealous. The bare metal look is so beautiful but I wonder how good clear coat will protect steel from corrosion. How does it hold up so far? Especially because you used cans I assume you didn’t get 2part paint for a low budget project?

[@Kingdombuisnezz]

Gorgeous

[@MHLivestreams]

I always thought these were a bit crap really, but a bit of magic like this is well received. 💯

[@robertturnbull5472]

really nice build ... thanks

[@georgepruitt1915]

Well done

[@tobiems]

I love it! In germany we have so many rules for stuff like this. It is almost impossible to do it the way you did it. How much did the build cost? If u want tell.

[@luckygunner8089]

Really sweet build! Will be taking some inspiration on my upcoming 1100 bobber build. What tires did you use? Cheers from Sweden neighbour!

[@colbybonner1595]

Awesome job brother

Love the virago build and I just got my own. Something’s Uve done give me ideas. I’d like to email u about where u got some parts or how u did certain things if that would be ok?
