My other ride - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm new but I thought I would share for anyone who loves their motorcycle. I built this 2000 V-star Custom (again) in two weeks. I've been thru this bike from top to bottom. It has a rigid frame, pistol grip shifter, clip on bars, projector headlight, LED pods mounted under fender for brake and turns, hypercharger, ankleblower pipes I built from scratch. plasti dipped black, chopped rear fender, side mount plate, carbs slide mods (snappier off the line) and proper rejet and carb synch. The wife dosn't love the ride so much and goes for maybe a half hour. I have taking this all the way from Vermont to Connecticut in one day (about 500 miles) and rode comfortably. I crashed this same bike in August of last year and was very fortunate. I was supposed to be one of 3 things 1) An amputee of the left arm because the force that I hit the ground with separtated my AC joint. The doctor stated if I didn't compete in my bodybuilding it would have torn off my body 2) brain dead because I went over the handle bars and landed head first at 35 MPH 3) Dead....and that's all. So I was very fortunate. I tore thru it during the winter and made it good as new again. I am searching for a house w a garage. I can pop these bikes out in as little as two weeks. I've built a few for a few people. They run about 6-8K including the bike.

Awesome bike, nice mean aggressive look. Definitely very fortunate with the crash. Had two myself and luckily just had to have a metal collarbone put in.

DieselAries1 · 09-26-2013, 08:19 AM

The collar bone separation for me has put a damper on my bodybuilding career. I just competed in the Battle of the Naturals last week in Wintrop Mass. Took 2nd. So I can't complain. Driving thru Boston was frustrating as hell. Even Siri on my old lady's Iphone didn't know where the hell we were going lol

Ksmoke · 09-26-2013, 08:23 AM

Yeah I still get random pains in mine. Boston can get really annoying trying to drive though. Everyone likes to go there own way and not let any merge at all. Luckily I've done it enough times I'm just used to the annoyances. Congrats on 2nd!

Awesome!

Silverlsinva · 09-26-2013, 11:04 AM

Badass bike and you customize them as a side job?

DieselAries1 · 09-26-2013, 11:53 AM

I have done it for several people. The bike costs a measly 3k. I can turn it into this with maybe 1000 in parts. And I do all the labor and carb work in as little as two weeks. This machine is the easiest to tinker with. I am about to sell this one. I want a 1600 and want to slam it and have the same look.

Ksmoke · 09-26-2013, 09:56 PM

Damn, should have you make me one haha

DieselAries1 · 09-26-2013, 10:00 PM

You can buy this one

. Runs mint. I love it! This is the only one with a pistol grip shift as I built it from scratch. This one is certainly one off. And my first show winner.

LStick · 09-27-2013, 12:08 AM

That has got to be the baddest bike I've ever seen.
Ever do one in Olive drab green?

DieselAries1 · 09-27-2013, 05:44 AM

I did my roommates in OD green actually. He just retired medically from the army.

Silverlsinva · 09-27-2013, 06:14 AM

Do you customize all brands of bikes or just The Yamaha's?

DieselAries1 · 09-27-2013, 07:10 AM

I'm pretty sure I could do it to any bike. I really prefer to work on Carbureted motors. I can bolt on any parts without any issue. The V-stars I enjoy working on. Just so happens people keep bringing me this brand I also did my friend Angels. I'm throwing a set of 18 inch apes on it soon to finish the look. Just waiting on cables.
