Yamaha XVS 650 - Budget Bobber Build PT2

Sadly due to not having a decent camera some of the footage was terrible due to being in bad light so I its a short vid today but I think it shows what it needs to :D
It was time consuming and a lot of the time was spent soldering the wires from the controls ( Heaps of wires!! ). The cables were surprisingly easier than I thought they'd be so I was happy about that.
I just want to reiterate this is not a "how to" video, its just to show my journey through my experiences. I'm far from an expert and people will probably cringe at how I went about it but its all part of the fun to find things out for yourself :D ... Enjoy

I’m working on a 650 myself. It was in a garage fire. Motor turns over. I’ve started stripping it down. There will be very little chrome. Everything melted but motor and tires.

I like the look even though it's not for me.and the video is good as well.

Thank you very much, I was a bit hesitant to go bobber and I haven't any friends that has done it either so I just went for it and I'm happy I did :D

[@rolandkeith5322]

Yer some of them look so good and they are well I think anyway one of the best bikes to go Bobber with. Mine I have just gone the old lower the handlebars as mush as I can and I like the side profile it gives the bike. I have no photos of that as yet.

[@wizfiz7056]

I'm definitely a fan of the Yamaha bobbers and I probably went toward ape hangers a little because I bought mine with Tbars and I really wanted a different look as well as comfort but nothing wrong with low bars at all.

[@rolandkeith5322]

how does it handle with the hangers?? Coz mine with the bars lowered is very good.

[@wizfiz7056]

It handles pretty good, I would say better on the highway than my Tbars but slow riding its harder, atleast I find it harder slow riding but it might be just a matter of getting use to.

Looks good but how tall are you? I'm only 5'9" and I needed a Vulcan. I felt cramped on both V-Stars I've ridden. 650 & 1100. As well as a buddy of mine's E-Glide and he's taller than me.

[@Ladosligese]

wierd question time .. how tall are you ? .. so i get an idea if i would skyscrape atop XVS 650 :) .. nice bike btw

[@wizfiz7056]

I'm 6'1 and the bike feels good but it looks smaller as the bobber. thanks mate

[@jimbobucky8500]

The other bars looked better.

[@Bambamglock89]

How much were the extended cables?

[@wizfiz7056]

currently they are $248 at badboybobbers not 100% sure how much I paid at the time

[@zacroberts4008]

So what happen to the chrome

[@wizfiz7056]

The bars I ordered were chrome but the quality of the chrome was so bad I decided to go a different path and powdercoated them, but you will see in my latest video what happened to the ape hangers. In short, dont buy cheap bars lol

[@mattmuir4388]
