Noise Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well, thanks for the offer but it would prob cost me more in postage than the powder coating itself. Also just a kind bit of advise, i would go to the new members section and introduce your self/ company as you will get more respect and custom this way. At least then we know who you are and what you do rather than you just blurting in and throwing your web site about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 As promised here is another Vid, i tried to show the Air filters n see if you could here them sucking in large gulps of air but you cant but you can see the throttle move if that turns you on O and the exhausts will be changing. I no longer like the look of them so once i buy a MIG welder i will sort them out. TURN UP THE VOLUME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well more offerings to the Bobber god came through the door yesterday consisting of new For dust seals as the gaiters had perished some how and i highly doubt the seal have ever been changed but i guess i should have done them when she was off the road lol. Also the new clutch cable arrived so im one more step closer to the suicide clutch and jockey shifter just need to fab up a few bits to link up the cable to the gear leaver then i have to weld up the chain links to the shape of my shifter paint and bolt on. And lastly i got a new number plate which maybe a tad smaller than normal but not too small lol Pics to shortly follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvinchang Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Right here goes with some more pics, Here are the new exhausts with the wrap, most likely will be geting them powder coated black and then re-wrap them but will only be half of what ive wraped now, Ive changed the bulls eye bar end indecators with some billet ally grips with built in flashers (bit cold in the winter i think lol) Will be getting some new mirrors soon. Now here is my rear fender, i sill got a ton of work to do to it but its getting there! Cut out for the swing arm 2hours of tape messring and tape And then after cutting, Still need to grind it to make it neat etc but the shape is there. Here it is on the bike. Its gunna be painted black so it blends in with the tyre so it will seem as tho there is no fender, and i will add some white pin striping patterns to it. Next on the shopping list is rear light, and a bobber seat. O and the springer forks lol How wide is your rear fender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up.yours Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 your bike is awsome , so don't take this the wrong way. it's just my opinion, exhaust wrap looks shit and tatty , don't go their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ha ha, yer i know what you mean i just needed some thing on there as i was getting mega fucked off either burning my leg of burning holes in my pants and this wrap was laying about the shed so went on. It wouldn't look too bad if the wrap was black. I'm still toying with the idea of selling her tho just need to sort out the fuel tank after some c**t pushed me whilst filling up with fuel and then proceeded to wipe the fuel and PAINT off my tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 you put a lot of hours into that, keep it for a bit man, bummer about the spillage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yer I know, I do like the bike just that ive got the bored factor at the mo n just want a bit more grunt out the old girl. Think im going to up grade the coils n cdi and up the revs see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Right, now that the wedding is all over and done with i can now save up for some new toys for the old girl, but if what i do to her next don't tickle my nipple then i think by this time next year she will be sold and a new project will have been started. I still need to pull my finger out and sort out this suicide clutch and shifter, re-place the fork seals and re-paint the fuel tank or get the split tanks fitted (one or the other) I'm now looking at getting a Dyna CDI unit and Dyna coils which will give the girl a good 5hp gain and also i can then Advance / retard the motor and un lock some performance out of her. Then for the cherry on the cake i will throw in some Iridium spark plugs for a better ignition. If any of you want / thinking about new coils and that here is the web site http://www.sscustomcycle.com/products/engine/v-star650.shtml Its my Birthday soon so i think i deserve a treat lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yer im still not 100% what im gunna do yet, its either buy a ready made chop/bob and do my own personal touch to it or just build one from scratch out of a xs 650 or 1100 depending if i can get hold of a good cheap donor bike. I do like that Bandit chop but he never got back to me and i was thinking that if i did get it id chuck the 1200 motor in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 i work with a guy who's currently doing a 1200 bandit bobber, he ain't got far with it though. he has the frame the tank the seat and a set of digital clocks, he also has a full bandit as parts donner.

Noise Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sounds like a good build, well this chap has not got back to me so i think he may have sold it so i will see how much i get for my bike then im gonna build one from scratch. So im either going to do a XS 1100 or a V-Max There is a V-max on Ebay for £1k its a complete state and its not been registered in the UK yet so should be the perfect bike.
