    This is the best looking Vstar bobber. You made it look like it’s worth a lot more. A lot of people make it look like junk and basically destroy the value. Well done. I’d love to do one like this at some point.

    awesome awesome job with this build! very clean this design absolutely timeless! I think exhaust wrap is to insulate the pipe so the heat stays inside. This is done not just for rider comfort but keeping exhaust gasses hot does aid in power production. are you building anything else? If so please keep us posted.
