Simple video on the Yamaha Vstar 650 XVS650 start button relocation from handlebars. This eliminates the stock killswitch and allows you to relocate your start button wherever you want.
Let me know if there are other videos you want to see on the build?

I'm in Australia, my handle bar switching was rooted, about $260 for a new set, this saved my ass big time! Thanks mate 👌

@@joeellltt When you mentioned you had to thread the end of your throttle pull cable to get it to fit in the Biltwell Whiskey throttle tube how exactly did you mean? How hard was it to do that? I have a 2008 Yamaha V star 1100, that I just installed 14" ape hangers and needed to get longer cables. I can get them to custom the end to be the harely end so they can thread into this, but saw you and several others mention about threading the oem cable to work. Also how is it running just the single throttle? Also thought about doing that but wasnt sure how much roll back it would have without it? Post more pix once you get the tank and side covers on. I am also relocating my starter and kill switch under the tank to hide them and clean up the handlebars.

@@ham00700 The whiskey throttle comes with different ferrules which are those small silver pieces on the throttle housing. You have to thread the throttle cable housing to fit the ferrule so the cable is tight and doesn't get loose.

@@joeellltt Since I needed to order longer cables after installing 14" ape hangers, I ended having them adjust the ends that connect to the whiskey throttle to be harley threaded ends to easily screw into the threaded ferrules. These should be coming in a week or so, hopefully it works out well. Appreciate it. Any pix of the bike with the peanut tank? Looking to possibly swap out my tank as well and install pods under the tank too. How do they perform after the install ?

Hi, I want to say "Great explanation" Thumbs up. What did you do with the other switches like the turn signal?

Hey man! Love the build. What are you doing about the speedo?

@coleellsworth3927 7 ай бұрын

Would you do this and run 2 seperate switches? A hidden toggle for the kill switch and a hidden button for the start?

Where did you get the rubber for the forks? And what did you do with the blinkers and the control assembly for them?

@jeffreyalvarado9859 3 жыл бұрын

What if I add another button for the ignition and kill switch

@joeellltt 3 жыл бұрын

You could do that too - you would have to buy 2 switches and wire them how it’s wired stock, with a toggle switch and push button.
