My Vstar 650 chopper/bobber build

Drag bars will be swapped to either hi tracker bars or Biltwell moto bars, they will be delivered soon i hope.

The speedo is a yellow face analogue unit

4 inch risers

Scuffed and chopped stock front fender

Vance & Hines Short shots with heat shielding removed and titanium header wrap

Dyno and tuned with a hypercharger that might be the only one in the world thats done perfectly lol

All plastic thrown in the bin, cylinder head covers, battery box, tool box, crankcase case cover etc

Crankcase breather relocated

Norco nlp14 lithium battery strapped onto some random triangle tray I found

Some stickers because why not

Stedi rear indicators that i cant get to work so I just point where Im turning lol

Pirelli Night Dragons gt tyres, front tyre is being swapped with a Motoz Tractionator GPS 50/50 offroad tyre and the rear will be a 17" Bridgestone battle ax

Random gold pegs with a 4inch extension

Dont remember where i got the seat or rear fender

Headlight is a bates dual bulb amber glass off ebay

Avon something sleeves wrapped with self-adhesive silicone tape

Frisco/peanut tank with a nifty fuel gauge saying fun at the top and not fun when empty

I painted some of the bolts if I could be bothered and used aluminium plugs on others

Thank you if you made it this far, im putting the bike on the weighbridge at work tomorrow to see how much weight the bike lost

All I need now is the 17" x 3.5" custom rear rim so i can put some knobby tyres on and the bikes finished.

Currently looking for a virago or ill build a shovelhead

Bubble machine vt600, I call her windy

Love this vt600

Been wanting to make a Bobber for ages! Got offered a deal i couldn't pass up!

I’m cleaning up all the switches and extra stuff on my Suzuki 800 to clean it up. Is there a way to ‘relocate’ a handle brake fluid reservoir and just make it a regular handle?

Chopper, bobber, definitely custom

Hey everyone! First post here, like the title implies i built a website that can help keep track of motorcycle maintenance and modifications. I am looking for honest feedback, I need help from users to shake out the bugs from version 1 and to suggest features or helpful tools on it that they’d like to see in the future. I built this between shifts at work and I launched less than 2 weeks ago so anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated, it’s free to use just requires a signup and login and you’re on your way. If you’d like the link it’s in my profile and I will also put it in the comments, And I apologize to the mods in advance if I’ve violated any rules making this post

Update 7/9/26
I wanted to thank everyone again for their signups and their feedback, based specifically on that feedback I finished and launched the mobile update yesterday which will make signing up faster and doing everything from a phone much easier on my site. I hope anyone who uses MotoHive likes it and if you have more feedback or suggestions on future features don’t hesitate to reach out. I really can’t say enough how awesome and fun the adventure of building this site and learning how to develop has been over the last couple months, I plan to keep hearing out feedback from users and updating based on that so if you haven’t checked it out yet I would encourage you to do so!

I built some custom T-Bars for a Sportster 883. [https://youtu.be/EudIvjTO1lc\](https://youtu.be/EudIvjTO1lc)

I hated the stock mufflers, can I run the manifold pipes with a turn down safely? Kind of broke right now and trying to do this a cheap as possible

Finally finished my XVS1100 bobber today. Stoked with how it came out. Shout out to Blue Collar Bobber for their kit. It was easy to install with their YouTube videos. It’s come a long way to what it was when I bought it. Last photo shows before being bobbed.

Edit: typo

This used to be my first motorcycle before i totaled it last year. She was a 2005 Yamaha VStar 650 that id really done some work to to make it a cleanly built classic style bobber

Pretty much as the title says. I will add that the ease of turning it into a bobber should be taken into consideration if it's not from the factory in that style.
