Bought my first motorbike
« on: May 24, 2013, 07:57:01 AM »
Bought a Vstar 650 two weeks ago, my plan was always to bobb it (second picture), I am not very good in the mechanical part so I will buy mostly some kits from bluecollarbobbers.com as in bobber seat the ford lights, drag bars (I am considering small ape hangers as well) and so forth.
Atm since I never had a bike I am getting comfortable on the roads - and mostly commute to get a good feeling what it means riding a bike on the road, so far I love it.

Good choice on the 650. I got two Yamaha's my dad gave them to me before he died a 1100 and a 550. Riding is Freedom from stress no cell phones, email etc. I have been riding since 6 years old my dad bought me a mini bike.

650 here is the biggest learner bike you can have - my ultimate dream would be a Dyna Harley or night train maybe one day. For the moment I am going to ride the shit out of this one and bobb it out as I wanted todo for such a long time.
I am planing to change the design of the tank to mat black with the Wehrmachts Cross not the iron cross.

Its proven that he hadn't a clue but only had the best intentions for the jews in his heart.

Maybe very very dark blended in black flames, that looks pretty good as well but most likely only the "balkenkreutz"

The red and orange flames on the black tank is good I have seen a few around here like that.

Nah I don't like that too much to be honest, I like designs when they are simple. the only color I want are white wall tyres, the problem is of course that I am very very confident that I want to sell the bike in a year and it I ahve it changed to a bobber I am not so sure anybody will buy it

This looks good as well (I think this is a dragstar 650 custom and not classic btw) excaust are Vance & Hines as far as I think, expensive but so fucking worth it see video
