    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

    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 can pick one up for around $5,000 - $7,000 depending on the kms and age. It's a Yamaha XVS 650cc Dragster 1998.
