    That’s exactly how I’d want to build my own bobber. Love the looks. I’d buy that bike if it was in Toronto

    This is the best looking Vstar bobber. You made it look like it’s worth a lot more. A lot of people make it look like junk and basically destroy the value. Well done. I’d love to do one like this at some point.

    I’m awfully late to this, but this bike looks incredible. Makes me want to hire you to build me a custom bike out of a bit nicer base model. Really love the work you did here. 10/10

    I named this bike “The black stallion” it’s a beauty!! I have a 2000 Yamaha V Star 650 custom and would love to customize it just like yours man!! Do you happen to have the links on where you purchased the accessories such as the led strip, signal lights, bags, etc!! Just fell in love with that black stallion!!

    The kit is from Blue Collar Bobbers, It came with a 1969 Bullet style rear brake light. Unfortunately is illegal to have in NSW so I bought a LED strip online from Custom Cruisers in USA.

    awesome awesome job with this build! very clean this design absolutely timeless! I think exhaust wrap is to insulate the pipe so the heat stays inside. This is done not just for rider comfort but keeping exhaust gasses hot does aid in power production. are you building anything else? If so please keep us posted.

      You should be able to find it on Custom Cruisers still. Email them and ask. I took the back fender off and fed the wiring up through the inside of the fender. A couple of mates who are handy really did a great job on it.
