[2wheeltoy]

Wicked ride dude!! Would love to put a springer on my roadie..

[jj629ful]

did it come with the rear dis brake

[Blaqkman]

Just seeing this bike for the first time, U have renewed my faith in the Roadstar!!! I just bought another 1800 and I'm trying to put together a bobber. Couldn't quite see my vision, UNTIL NOW!!!! That thing is muthahumpin beautiful!!! Would like to talk to U about the specs of your bike!!!!!

[B53SS]

Very cool bike. I'm planning to build a bobber from a V-Star 1100 and I would like to know what does it takes to fit a springer front end ? Was it complicated to install ?

Way cool roadie. Looks great man.

[TerryT844]

cool bike man. Does the springer just bolt up without any mod?

[MostLikelyDan]

That's a rad bike... only thing that'd make it sound sweeter is if Bulls on Parade wasn't playing in the background ;) Beauty.

geil

[prima5driver]

bad ass bike

[tracer165]

That is one great looking bike man.

[SSGKV]

Out-frickin-standing.  Fantastic machine.

[unimogman404]

I have my idling set low and I drive a 1999. It never affected anytning on the engine. Since the engine barely turns, it doesn't need a ton of oil up there, just enough to lubricat it. I owned the bike for 10 years now.... what can I saw, it ain't broken yet !

[ArizonaMiner47]

That is by far the sickest star I have ever seen. The haters can stay at home and watch the bike shows on tv. You Sir, keep building.

[neckinneck]

Hey CZ, never get tired looking at your ride!

Would you be interested in selling your Bubs,

after you get your one offs, if not, would you know someone that can make me a custom set?

thx

nn

[neckinneck]

Sweet ride dude!

What are the diameter of your pipes, 2"?

Did you wrap right over the chrome heat

shields?

[chopzombie]

Yes. They are BUB stubbies I found on ebay for cheap cuz they were yellowed and dented...but the tips were perfect and made for great pipes to wrap-up. next pipes will be one-offs...

[jimolsson1978]

Damn its nice!

All chassie stock except fork? Lowered in back i guess. But wheels? More info plz!

[chopzombie]

Chopped the seat horn and mounted the solo seat. Springer is a bolt-on kit from Ardcorechoppers. The wheels are HD 60 spokes with custom axle in the back. Brake bracket is my own design. It is really a simple bike...turns heads.

[texomathunder]

sounds great. and looks just as good... Nice job....

[roadyrider]

That's one of the best bob-jobs I've seen yet on a Roadie. Great job.

[wanderer1031]

yes it is. for a yammie. i bet it just flys without a windblocker and all the extra crap they comewith.

[erizo1602]

that idle is WAAAY too low!

should be set at 800-900rpm

turn it up or you risk damage leaving it at idle due to the oil pump not getting enough pressure up.

nice bike BTW

[chopzombie]

Thanks. It has been set that low for 8yrs now. Fix it until it's broke?

[1947Chief]

erizo1602 , he's clueless . Nice job.

[erizo1602]

fuck you jack.

i don´t suppose owning the same bike and also running a custom shop and working on and serviceing road stars would give me a clue?

fact asshole - tickover is 800-900 or the oil pump isn´t supplying enough pressure, especially around 500rpm.

it ain´t a harley (although harley owners do exactly the same - set the tickover too low to get the `harley sound´).

it is a nice bike as i commented before, and damn good work.

[soobeng]

Erizo1602,

 Don't act like a smart ass. The oil pump isn't going to spoil. what's wrong with you ? have you been reading the wrong books all these while ? get your fact right ok.

[erizo1602]

god´s teeth, some folks here need to learn how to read.

i have NEVER said it would damage the oil pump (ferchrissakes try reading the posts).

i HAVE however said that BELOW the recomended idle speed, the oil pump is NOT supplying enough pressure to the lubrication system, meaning that if left idling for long periods like that, it can cause engine damage.

FFS, i try to give a bloke a heads up, and get a barrage of numbnuts spouting shit they know nothing about.

BTW, my facts are right

[trueeasyrider]

Erizo1602, what's wrogn with you ? the idle is sweet as heaven. it's a amazing ? the oil pimp is not going to be spoilt. get your fact right ok.

[erizo1602]

i didn´t say anything about the oil pump getting spoilt.

if you read my reply to that dipstick 1947chief, you´ll see that i was referring to possible oil starvation due to the oil pump not being up to pressure below 800rpm. leaving a bike ticking over for long periods under those circumstances isn´t good.

get your facts right o.k?

chopzombie - respect to you and your ride, i´m just replying to these two posters.

[chopzombie]

Thanks for the Compliment. I have heard other roadstars that sound good but I always thought they idled way high. Can you give us a link to a well idled Roadstar video? I would like to hear the comparison..

[ihatecivics7]

that is bad ass dude, sounds mean as fuck at idle. get some vids of it cruisin'
