fakin sweet ride, i wish i never sold mine!! but will have one next summer. how much did it cost you to bob it? total cost? that just looks amazing, I hope you still have it!

[moto84af]

@fcarabat about $1,000 to bob it. It could have been cheaper if I made my own parts, but I don't have a shop to do that kind of stuff in. I'm gonna post some new vids in a few weeks. Should come out great!

moto84af- did you get rid of your passenger footpegs. I'm looking at adding a swingarm solo saddlebag on the left side but the foot peg. Looking at the swingarm I noticed that footpeg might give me some problems...

[moto84af]

@73FIREful my bike is now a solo seater. I havn't tried putting saddlebags on it, so you may want to check on what your clearences are going to be. Hope this helps!

moto84af...It's almost time to take the bikes out of winter storage. It's been a loooong winter. Got mine in the shop and i'm going with Baron's 16" ape hanger after all...will post a video soon as it's done.

@73FIREful Oil changed...lowered 2 inches...  The bike is all ready to go...AND IT SNOWED ALL DAY YESTERDAY! She's going to have to wait awhile before it gets nice out! Lovin it

I think shorter apes (Flanders #2 bars) mounted on Glide risers and "gator" fork boots look great on a Star 1100. Mine looked great on my 1100 until some moron yakking on a cell phone took me out in fall 2011. Thankfully, the bike took the worst of it all. Ride safe out there.

dude you gotta get rid of the AIS.......Extremely easy to do it will really clean up the engine

[danielenervald]

I really like what you have done! Just a sugestion; remove the front fork covers... Those are some ugly parts. Otherwise thumps up!

Check out my bobber building blog i'm doing for my v-star 1100.

cheers

Any problems with no front fender I meant to ask?

[Kpolicious]

Any problems/issues within hot the front fender? I really like the look.

[Flannoman75]

ARE THEY VANCE & HINES PIPES? ALSO IS IT CARBY OR EFI?

[teyacapan]

so what is the story on yo0ure tires?

[darcyhead1]

i'm assuming u had to cut the frame rear of the seat to accomodate the new fender?

[Bornarebel86]

where did you get your brake line extensions and longer clutch cable for the 14" road six customs ape hangers?

Beautiful bike.
