VN800 Drifter 'War Bastard', Walk Around + Exhaust

[@markeverson5849]

Love the sound of your bike man and of course the Indian look your seat is awesome I'm looking at a 2001 800 Drifter now in the more of these videos I watch the more interested I get specially after hearing your pipes

[@crotchrocket3000]

Thanks Mark! These Vance and Hines cruisers sound the best in my opinion but don’t look as good as others.

[@johnholden7825]

I gotta say, mate. I revisit this video every few months, because you've made something so awesome. Thanks for posting it this forever ago, and cheers.

[@justincase9537]

HAHA! Very impressed man! Excellent personal touch that is what its all about.And the best part is-the original war bikes were not nearly as comfortable or as reliable or as fuel efficient as that one.Excellent ! I would like to see many more people take this much time and effort to make their machines the way THEY like them.Very nicely done mate~!

[@crotchrocket3000]

thanks dude!! Much appreciated

[@badopinionsrighthere]

Absolutely awesome. I was on the fence for painting my 900 Halfbreed (custom drifter fender) the same scheme, and you just sold me on it

[@crotchrocket3000]

NIce, go for it they look great in flat army green !!! For what its worth, the paint colour I used was Nato Green.

[@s4r34l]

Thanks for sharing it with us, looks great!

[@crotchrocket3000]

Thanks buddy!!

[@lewish9602]

Pretty cool mate, pretty cool indeed!

[@LeeHoMusic]

this motorcycle is a great idea, I LOVE THE COLOR AND BROWN SEAT

[@rioja941]

Very, very nice bike. A petrol canister on the left site of the rear fender would look fantastic!!!

[@Dracati]

Well Done !! Looks Great & I Like ur DIY bits. Thx for sharing !! Beautiful Day , that day.

[@crotchrocket3000]

Yeah finally some sunshine!!!!!

[@EditionFiveDK]

[@pipersall6761]

I think you did a great job on it. Nice bike. Thank you for not sticking Indian decals on it.

[@aprilonplants2945]

great bike, Im planing a buy the same model.I just wondering if the will fit balon tires like shinko e270 5.00x16????thanks, cheers

[@DawnNLN-ee2kh]

Sounds like a popcorn popper!

[@33WingNuts]

Beautiful beast, i like the black suit from the exgaust, it adds to the look i think

[@crotchrocket3000]

Cheers dude, Im glad you think that, as i can't be arsed to clean it haha !!

[@TheSpeckyNerd]

I'll have to show this to my dad when I go see him tomorrow! He has the same bike, not saying who's is better but you can find his on my channel (Not advertising just think you would like to see his) It's a pretty rare bike, well I only know of one person in Leeds with a Vulcan.

[@crotchrocket3000]

Nice one, i've just looked. I don't know that bike!! :) There is a owners forum. Were having a meet in April, get him along!! Head over to motorslager.nl for the owners forum (VDOG UK)

[@neilcole4844]

Love that 1940s Harley look!

[@bulldogbailey8501]

perfect bike !! perfect sound!! keep it up mate and ride safely brother!! (my father is a big fan of the Kawasaki VN's)

[@crotchrocket3000]

Thanks mate, appreciate it !!

[@ferrelli76]

Do you still have this bike very nice custom work.

[@marcusrichards7825]

Can you take it into Central London now? Beautiful bike...

[@BikerSpike]

Beautiful Machine was a Awsum Theme!

[@crotchrocket3000]

HA! Cheers dude!

[@SkeggyCruiser]

Great walk-around of a great bike, maybe you should have chosen a better background though! I considered doing a similar thing to my old VN but when I came across this didn't bother, no way I could have even come close without the skirts around the fenders and the single seat, however the one thing I do regret is getting rid of my VN800B just wish I could have kept it as well as getting the Midnight Star, Ride Safe Bro.

[@crotchrocket3000]

Yeah i was a little limited on locations, and wanted to go somewhere quiet so i didn't feel like a knob talking to myself haha!! I really love the VN800, shame you got rid of yours dude, but the Midnight Star is a beast !

[@SkeggyCruiser]

crotchrocket Hahaha I know what you mean! that's why when I did mine, I did it twice in a car park and people kept on coming up to me saying how nice the bike is, so I did it on the back garden in the end, lol, RSMF.

[@CountryHouseGent]

Really nice job on the styling there man. A lot of folk modify bikes but don't have an artistic eye. The results are often 'confused'. I'm looking at the V&H Cruzers for my 800 Classic. In-the-flesh so to speak, do they give a pleasing rorty sound, without making your ears bleed, or causing strokes and heart attacks in OAP's etc? Will the MOT man take offense? :) Cheers,

[@lipab94]

I have the same beast. But man, yours isamazing!

[@nbookie]

Where do you have the rifle scabbard?

[@59vaughn]

Screen is good too......nice theme....pipes.....seat....where's the mini-gun...??...

[@rowanw]

I'm curious, are the Cruzers debaffled? Sounds awesome and great bike! :)

[@martinreinisch2669]

Hi, nice Bike, my drifter looks the same :) what a exhaust is this? Can you tell me pls im searching for a new one :)

[@mad4tarmac]

nice nice bike..love it.

[@aimeribaddouh]

I love the look on your bike! It has inspired me to get working on mine! The only question is what kind of exhaust pipes did you get? I've had a hard time finding aftermarket ones for the vn800 drifters that aren't super long and reach all the way back to the back fender, such as this www.hardkrome.com/models.php?modelID=26 but yours are much shorter, and much more in line with what I was looking for.

[@marcinsud]

They are stock pipes from custom or classic vn800 but without heatshields and they are wrapped and debaffled

[@Bigsmokeandthebandit]

I love your war bastard! Out of interest do you have the special gear changer through necessity or ease?

[@crotchrocket3000]

Necessity mate. Paralysed left leg from a bike crash some years ago!

[@Bigsmokeandthebandit]

Ah shit, glad to see you are still able to ride!

[@cowtipper84]

Thats an awesome bike man :-)

[@crotchrocket3000]

Cheers dude!

[@comfywomfy]

Great bike mate. How much was the seat? The seats manufacture? And was it straight forward to fit? Thanks in advance chap :)

[@crotchrocket3000]

Hey dude, its a corbin solo saddle. The colour is custom.

[@HappySquierGuy]

just perfect! :o)

[@crotchrocket3000]

Thanks !! ;)

[@xXMidget1996RulezXx]

Hey mate, I've seen you mention the Clicktronic on other videos but have always wondered how come you need one?

[@crotchrocket3000]

Hi Mate, its because my left leg is half paralysed from a bike crash. Have a watch of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX2xhoqKnrp4n5I

[@xXMidget1996RulezXx]

I watched the video and man that sounds harsh! Glad to see you're alive and still enthusiastic about biking!

[@crotchrocket3000]

Cheers Dude !!

[@Sokolik107]

Nice bike! And what camera you used?

[@crotchrocket3000]

+Sokolik107 Thanks! The camera is a Drift HD Ghost

[@kaifriedrich3354]

Great! I Want to have the Same too :)

[@cyrusstothard]

Hi I was wondering if you have or no of a double seat for sale for the 01 800 drifter I've found one I'm interested in also how much would you pay for one which is the same style as yours. Thanks

[@crotchrocket3000]

Best to get on the drifter forum ( vdogforum.co.uk ) for a seat etc. Regarding price, they do vary a lot, but never worth much more than £3000 - £4000 depending on condition and mileage etc.

[@cyrusstothard]

This one is up for 4600 it's the and war bike

[@crotchrocket3000]

seems pricey for a home built / rat look one. but go see it, it might be a peach. jump on the forum and register and ask some questions there, lots of people in the know !

[@cyrusstothard]

Well the problem is I would have to make my way from nireland to get it lol

[@alt0v14]

fucking awesome!

[@ADH8]

Didn't know you was so close to me mate

[@crotchrocket3000]

Spiritually or geographically lol

[@ADH8]

"geographically" I live in Harrow & Watford... And I'm in Wembley all the time for Ace ;)

[@薄味好き]

すごく、かっこいい ナイスバイクすぎる

[@ShutDaAss]

What exhaust??

[@gjc7993]

[@richardlowry173]

[@crotchrocket3000]

Richard Lowry handlebars are stock!

[@DawnNLN-ee2kh]

Schwinn!

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

Wow....

[@tributo6875]

Very nice bike What kind of exhaust did you install ?

[@DawnNLN-ee2kh]

COW A Sucky!

[@allyvelly]

I hate that type of handle bars. It looks disgusting.
