I gotta question so the line connecting from the front break that connects to the piece in the middle of forks is that cable a single or is it a full cable connected all the way down because i was gonna change my bars out but idk what to do hopefully u understand what im trying to talk about lol
Don't know about your bike, but on his bike there's a single brake line that goes from the brake lever down to the triple tree, and then 2 brake lines from the triple tree to the calipers (one for each caliper). There's a hard line, basically a t-connector, on the lower triple tree connecting all the cables. If your bike is the same, and you're only changing handlebars, you should only need to replace/extend the single brake line from brake lever to triple tree. The lower 2 lines won't be affected. But if you have rubber lines from the factory still, you might as well upgrade all of them to braided steel since you'll be draining and bleeding the system anyways and steel lasts longer and is safer. Hope this helps
Very curious to where in Ontario you're located, I definitely want to pick up a cruiser and make it into a bobber and seeing what you're doing with that rear fender interest me and would love to hear your thoughts on some stuff
Cutting off that much would you still be able to fit a second seat and sissy bar? Looking to get one but the rear fender looks atrocious and I don’t wanna give up a seat
Did you have to do anything to the wiring that went to the stock speedo/console, or does it simply unplug and the bike still operate? building my own version with a peanut tank and wiring is my biggest challenge as I delete everything that isn't necessary to running.
Really hope you release some new content soon man. I look forward to these videos on the vstar. Ive got mine on the operation table now, chopping and grinding the frame, getting things ready for paint.
How much of a drop did you get from this?? Im looking at doing a similar setup on my 09. But im looking at about 5" of drop. and im worried that itll start binding up the Rear end/Driveshaft... Any issues with yours?3
Very sorry for the late reply I’ve ran every bike I’ve ever built like this with zero binding issues. I got the measurements for the strut by basically letting the top of the swing arm rest on the frame so it was as low as possible… I then stuck a Half inch flat bar between to give a little height… took the measurement and that’s my strut measurements
@@rev7garage No worries. You have a life and Other responsibilities outside of RU-vid! I did pretty much the same thing. Sitting pretty nicely at about 4 1/2" of drop. Thanks for the videos!
