Im sure you had lots of fun with it. Looking forward to check out any content you have on this and the current bike. (I have a 650 as well, still learning and getting all my paperwork to hit the road before the summer ends!)
It’s amazing at how different pipes can sound depending on the bike the style of pipe and how much air the engine can push through it depending on the air filter type. This bike at idle sounds louder then my VStar 1100, but at throttle? Mine is crazy loud, so much so that you can’t ride at highway speed without hearing protection and I’m running a hyper charger , rejetted and V an H pipes. But at idle, a quiet pleasant lope.
Nice edits and awesome bike! Found the vid now cuz I was looking at Dragstar 650 exhaust videos I currently have a Yamaha Virago 250 which I started on and now I wanna change it and get this
So I went on craigslist, looking for my first bike since I was 17 and had a Kawi SR 650 with a custom pipes and a paint job that made me feel like fucking Easy Rider and got me laid more times than I can say. Fast forward 40 years and I buy my 2nd bike (traded in the Kawi for it ..... just kidding), a 2010 Vstar 650. I took off the tank and fenders and had a guy outside of Chicago do a boss custom paint on it. Ordered and put on the Cobra pipes (anyone of you fools who say it's better stock is just a stock type individual, and some nice leather saddle bags. Guys, I bought the bike for $2200 bucks with 9k miles on it and in great condition. The custom paint ran me $750 and pipes not much less than that. BUT! In two years I have put on a back tire and changed the oil twice. You will find a few things in common with Harleys and one thing not in common. With the custom paint, you get a lot of people who say Nice Harley, and it has the sound even with the stock pipes but especially wit the Cobras. The main thing that separates the two, other than huge price difference, is your Vstar will spend very little time in the shop. Also, as a novice, after watching a few videos, I was stripping the bike down and doing things to it myself and not having to call the shop. This Vstar is the best all around cruiser on the asphalt
@@REDGINGY It’s a unique style of throttle control… With that being said, you’re doing the right thing covering your break like that. That’s a life-saving habit to get into. 24 years of riding Everything from motocross competitively to competing in super twin sport bike racing… I do it
I have a 2000 Yamaha v-star custom and it has all the emissions bullcrap on it was wondering what slip ons sound the best, I know I'm gonna have to re-jet
@@REDGINGY Awesome man! I do like how it looks with the bars tilt downwards. The way you have it setup, it reminds me of the Cafe Style Look! I'll adjust mines and try not to slam the tank or effect the turn radius. Thanks Allot!
You may want to adjust the levers a little and when you lower the bar check for turning radius, I had to play with it a bit to be able to turn it without hitting the gas tank
Cut 'em right after before muffler and no, did not need to secure them to the bike. Had to plug "H" connector and I wrapped the pipes with exhaust wrap!
with short pipes you lose airflow excavation from the piston on the exhaust stroke, and you lose horsepower check your plugs, with stock jets your bike is running rich now
if he drops that bike he will lose more than a finger the largest organ in your body is your SKIN, the way he is dressed he will lose most of his, from the neck down
regular exhaust sounds like weed eater, straight pipes sound horrible, get this get that, do this do that. it was all for fun bud. Not to show off or be fast just for the fun of it.
@@REDGINGY I just bought a 2008 Yamaha V Star 650 custom gloss black with the dragon tail flames & it has less the 4000 miles on it everything is stock from the factory and in excellent shape and it sounds almost like a Harley it has a sweet soft rumble to it so don't know what your talking about yours sounds like somebody is using a tomato soup can for a exhaust
