So I will agree I wasn’t a fan either but I kept the whole bike skinny and it definitely ended up flowing nicely. I can’t take credit for being the first to do it but definitely like spreading the word on ideas I find as well
@@rev7garage my wife would quite literally blow up if I brought another bike home(also needs a carb cleaning and rear tire) I have too many things to justify buying another thing 😔👎 need a farm!
Great job on the bike. Love the front guard being used for the rear idea. Definitely up for smaller ( or should is say process ) videos. It's nice to watch how a person reaches the end result.
I’ve been using vans grips for a few years now and besides the looks, there an awesome grip long term and a great company to deal with. The fender just kept the bike skinny and it was free lol! I only spent 2 or 3 days literally just tossing it together. I would have loved to gone deeper. Maybe next time
Hey man , nice build. I have exactly the same bike and color ! However,you're side panels,wich are they? Mine look nothing like it and they cant attached with the back fender plastic removed.
Hello, if i understand right the rear Fender is made from original front Fender cutting in half? If You ride in rain does it stop the water, gras, etc that you dont get it on you...
Yes. The truck is to mount the fender at a point where the back edge is as far over the tire as possible. Had I made the fender 3inches shorter it wouldn’t keep me dry
Definitely not necessary I know the owner of the bike. I tuned the carb back when I made this video and still running strong… stock jets, stock intake, modified exhaust. No bluing in the pipes and no backfire what so ever… proof is in the pudding
Is there any particular reason (besides weight) that you use aluminum for the mono strut instead of steel? Also, are you able to give the measurements for that. Nice build!
I thought I had put the measurements in one of my videos. Most of these videos are made so I can go back and recreate parts lol. I think it was 10-10.5inches centre to centre But it’s easy to measure before hand I used 1.25 squared aluminum. It’s not overly expensive. I buy 20ft pieces for under $100 and use it to make all my struts. Reasoning… wicked strong. Solid bar and easier to drill. Looks great polished or painted. Lighter and could make speed hole or other pattern designs in it fairly easy. Steel is a great affordable option but longevity and style I prefer the aluminum
@@rev7garage Awesome thank you! I think eventually I would like to connect the actual frame rails as well as have the strut. I was just a little hesitant to installing a strut only and it taking an absolute beating. Thanks for the reply!
No problem! First build I did 4 years ago is owned by a close friend and still going on that aluminum strut with zero issues The resale factor is nice using the strut as not everyone can do the hardtail thing lol
@@rev7garage Ha true, me being one of them. I was going to order a tj brutal mono strut but realized I can just go to the metal supermarket and they will cut to length and all I need to do is drill and save a lot of money. Building this one to be a keeper!
Nice bike. Congrats on the new place... I’m jealous of the shop it has based on how you describe it... having a designated paint booth would be awesome!
Thanks dude! I’m still tossing the idea of a full fledged paint booth. My brothers shop is setup for paint/hydro dipping but it’s smaller. We may turn that new section of the shop into a heated show room and sell parts through winter... who knows 🤷♂️
Nope! I made these bars myself and built them specifically to reuse the stock cables. Think I had to do some re routing but everything had a plenty of slack and full turn left and right
Awesome repurposing on the fenders. Not sure if I like the thinness of it, but thats brilliant. Might consider it.

One of these popped up on marketplace for 1200 I'm thinking about buying it
You would be crazy to pass up that deal!

For a 600.... that sounds incredible.... Need to replicate those pipes on my 99' VLX.....👍🤜🤛
Thanks eh! Those are just modified stock pipes
are those original side covers?
Great looking build! About to do the same! I have a question, did you re-jet the carb after cutting baffles out?
No I didn’t need to rejet
I kept the intake side stock and just adjusted the carb air/fuel up slightly and it ran great

Gunna get back to my original style videos
They were short and easy to edit lol
Other than the dirt bike looking grips and that ugly @ss read fender I like it..And love the bars you made !!

Okey, Thank you very much😀👍
Hey great build, just wondering if you had to reset the carb after drilling the exhaust
Not on this build. I did do a complete clean on the carb but running at stock settings
How Did u polish those stock rims they look nice my friend
Appreciate it! I use a product called never-dull… it’s awesome especially on anything pitted
Any chance you could throw some links to the parts you order
single carb?
Stock dual carb setup
I’m doing a build of my own on my 1988 Honda shadow vlx600 I bought 12” tc bros apes with 1” risers, do you think I need extended cables?
I think that 10” is the maximum height without changing the wiring and the cables.
did you have to rejet or tune the carb after modding the exhaust pipes?
If you just mod the exhaust your safe in stock jets. If you do both exhaust and intake then you need jets
@@rev7garageno my friend you are mistake here if have only exhaust you still need reject 100%
Definitely not necessary
I know the owner of the bike. I tuned the carb back when I made this video and still running strong… stock jets, stock intake, modified exhaust. No bluing in the pipes and no backfire what so ever… proof is in the pudding
what size is that seat? small or large version? thank you! cheers
This is the small version
@@rev7garage thank you, cheers from Whitby Ontario👊🏻
@@Liamweisflock ehhhhh! Not too far away! Stay tuned for the rat rod build to match the current 1100 Vstar build!

Did u half to cable extension for the bars ??
Nope! I made these bars myself and built them specifically to reuse the stock cables. Think I had to do some re routing but everything had a plenty of slack and full turn left and right
@@rev7garage and how tall are they ??
These were 10inches
@@rev7garage do u think i could make the builtwell window handle bars work ??
Are they 10inch rise? Do you know how wide?
How much do you sell them for
Which part you looking for?
Hey, amazing job man. Do you have an email address you can share? I want to talk to you about a build I'd like.
Rev7garage@gmail.com
Thanks! Emailing you now
What jetting do you go with?
Stock jetting on exhaust mod only
did you have to make the cables longer to fit those handle bars? or are they all oem? i want some hangers without having to buy new cables
Stock cables re routed. 10inch narrow bars
