So what are the plans for the little scooter you can see behind the non-running 650? Chopper? 60's mods and rockers style? Paint it black and flames? GSXr front end and stretched swingarm drag bike ? The internet wants to know. :)

I have a question for you On the road star 1600 the handlebar risers I know if I wanna take it out there is a bolt on the bottom I have to unscrew it It should come out but mine doesn’t is there something I’m forgetting mine is just stuck in there and I already took off the bottom bolt
@rev7garage
@rev7garage 2 жыл бұрын
There stuck! I have had numerous vstar risers like this too. I still have a set stuck on a top triple that I now use for my handlebar mock ups. Other ones I’ve had luck with “deep creep” which is like an anti-seize. Also one set I left in diesel fuel, then put the triple in my vice, used a piece of scrap 1Inch OD tube, clamped in 1 of the risers and the tube was leverage to pry it off

@rev7garage
@rev7garage 2 жыл бұрын
So stock says around 11.25 inches and I went to 11 and 7/8 and that gave me 4inches+ of lowering Safely you should be between 11.5 and 11.75inches to get 2inches

Geeze, going to drag that frame in every speed bump, pot hole or sharp dips.. I have that issue and going to remove the shock assembly to figure out how the shop did it for the previous owner.

The owner of the 1600 is coming into his second season with no issues so far. We maxed out the preload and hasn’t had an issue with scraping. We modified the exhaust as well to turning right wasn’t an issue either. I’m going to assume the people who modified yours adjusted the length of the dog bones as well. It’s really the only way to lower these bikes

@@rev7garage yes, I pulled my shock assembly out last night, has better after market shock, and the dog bones are aftermarket, about 11. 65 inches, so I need to replace them.. I'm only 140lb wet, and dragging way too easily!

That’s really weird The owner of that bike is probably just as heavy as me 185lbs and we tried to get it to scrub and couldn’t. Now in saying that, a big enough pot hole still may allow that to happen, but we ride together quite a bit I may have stock ones around if ur looking

Had to watch the video again lol When I say “this is where we’re sitting” I’m referring to “this is where we are in the project so far” Only issue we ran into when finished is the brackets he had for the hard bags hit the belt cover. So we trimmed them and it solved the issue
