This guy is like a MacGyver of electronics and definitely should be working for James Bond! Amazing sir!
Bro this video is single-handedly one of the most IMPRESSIVE Videos I have ever seen I’m not even trolling I’m serious
Thanks so much for getting back with me. I also appreciate you taking the time to break down everything in segments. Very helpful!
Man, you are so crafty. Great job using your own ingenuity to customize it!
Excellent, Christian! This is one of the best videos on any subject I have ever seen. Direct explanations and very nice videos work. Well done, my friend!
No problem!
It really suck you didn’t gain traction enough Cause your content is amazing and better then most professional accounts I really loved the video and your bike is beautiful and amazing and none of its dodgey and looks like you had a professional do it amazing work man
Thank you for the video it’s really given me some ideas
Well done. Absolutely loved this video. Loved the Skull panel , the flashing brakes and the hand grip blinkers. ❤
Awesome video,the editing and time vs information provided is on point. I didn’t get bored and actually watched longer than I expected. And I wholeheartedly agree with the safety factor. Not only did my man make it look cool, but it helps keep cage drivers aware that there are bikes out there. It’s easy to become invisible to anyone who isn’t used to seeing bikes or not often enough. So making it prominent it helps raise awareness. Great job all around brother! 🙏🏻😎💪
Nice mods. I have a ram mount phone holder. I’ve had it for a few years now. It’s the best one I’ve seen so far.
This is really amazing! I am inspired to do some of these things on mine. Thanks!
Cool bike! Looks great, performes well and sounds awesome
Great video. You’ve made your bike more visible and safer.
Ummm..... Dude....your skills are intimidating.. that's a good thing you rock!
Wow .. alot of work... great job sir... 👏... nice upgrades...
Great thinking and execution!
Looks spectacular !
Many great mods here. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing quality content brother! Way too underrated. Thanks for the awesome video :-)
Thanks Christian, you must be an electrical engineer. I love what you have done. I have a 2007 V Star 650 Silverado. I did not see your LED turn signal on your crash bar listed. I think that's an excellent idea too.
I installed them a while ago and I lost the link to the website.
what a great looking bike i love all the lights.... the more lights the better!
Eagerly waiting for the next vid, great job, great bike.
Great video! Very cool looking bike. I think your custom switch panel was my favorite part. Your quite handy with electrical mods.
Yeah, it's very handy, all the controls are right in front of you. Believe me it's not that difficult to make.
Awesome video. And the bike is beautiful aswell. GOOD JOB!
Love to have those on my dragstar 1100. I will definitely go for handlebar end grips indicators and spotlights rest of connections is like a black magic to me and won't even attempting those by my self. Extremely impressive what you have achieved here.
This is so cool and well done. awesome humor. I have a 650 classic with 4500 miles I picked up for $1000. I get nothing but compliments. Now I need to find the front turning light bar that is causing problems because some riff raff bent my turning lights. I can`t find any yamaha motorcycle repair shops in Dallas. Must be cowboy fans.
Beautiful work and gorgeous bike men
Very cool video good sir. I’m purchasing a v star in the near future and this video gave me some ideas! Very good electrical work
:-)
Well done . Beautiful bike .
I've wanted a tac for a while too, didn't know you could install one. Sick
Wow i really wish you had more videos i was ready to binge watch your channel 😱👏👏
I will upload more videos in the future, not very often though. As of right now, I'm still editing a new video about another mod on my motorcycle. It's the most complicated mod I've done so far (and probably the best). It works quite well and I can't wait to share it. The video should be up in a couple of weeks.
@@Asyss_Complex sounds good to me! I'll be subscribed waiting for more!
Really cool...nice work!
Thank you for your video. I will definitely star putting those lights on my motorcycle.
No problem!
Make sure your lights are LEDs so your battery doesn't overload.
really great vid i have a v star 650 and got some great ideas you have done great work have a good day ride safe
Can you say...."less get down to the nitty gritty!" -Nacho Libre
IoI I never thought someone would've actually gotten that movie reference.
You’re a legend
nice video...love the sound of the bike also i have an 01 1100 vstar..i wanna do some things to it as well...good work man
excellent video! thank you.
Just wow brother...wow! You've given me some ideas.
Make a video if you ever do the mods on your bike.
I have same bike, I just luv the modifications you have done. I will inspire to do something similar !!. Regards mark.
Nice bike!!
Padrísima. Que buen trabajo!
Cool mods man
Thanks!
this guy is a genius!
Beautiful ❤
👏👏👍👍cool setup man .
Appreciate it!
You could mount the vibrating motors until the underside of your seat.
Awesome work amigo!!! Where are you located can you come down to Arizona and do all those specifics on my new toy. I bought myslf a Honda Rebel 2001. 1st time buyer. I love all that you did to your ride. You got yourself a fan. Thnx for sharing the video.👍👍🤜🤛
Thanks!
When you think about it, the red switches are cooler for when the light is on or off. When a gun or weapon system in a jet is "hot" it glows red to let the user know its ready to fire !
I think all of the extra luz are a good ider. You need to be seen by other drivers. The lights also help you to see in the dark. I also really like the skulls that have light up eyes. I know you said the colors seem backwards but I like it the way you wired them. Its like when the eyes are rojo, its like a gun ready to fire. Your motorcycle is unique and original. It is also bonita.
awesome mods!! very impressive. can you share any links to products and directions on how you did the brake flasher & brake and turn signal mods? much appreciated.
Check the description of the video. There is a documentation with the links.
Before i was hit on my motorcycle i was in planning to make my bike look like a UFO smashing down the freeway!!!😎
Hey Brother, great video. I'm contemplating buying a vs1100 at the moment. Itll be my first motorcycle and I'm a modder. So i enjoyed it. Wondering what state you live in? I was seeing different shots that said different states. Im guessing desert southwest.
Very intrigued by all your mods. Or the lights on the crash bar, did you run the wires thru the bars and, how did you do the wiring. I’m giving a hard look at an 04 650. Thanks
I got one it needs a little work but it only has 10,000 miles and is all stock
Hello i have the same bike but mine is a classic and a 2005 model what is the link to the parts list i want to look them up to see if i can do some of them to mine, Nice video keep up the work
If anyone tells you that the switches are wired backwards, just tell them that turning the lights on makes the skull angry so its eyes go from a docile green to an evil red, lol. Looks awesome!
Sweet!
I,ev enjoyed watching your video several times. I don’t know if I’d do as many things as you, but if you could help me with a couple questions, it would be appreciated.
First, did you install a terminal block to handle all the extra accessories? Second, dddi you run the wiring for the driving lights/turn signals thru the crash bars? And in addition, did you connect them directly to the turn signal wiring? Lastly, tell me about the lights between the bags and the fender-make, length, etc.. I currently have an 03 Yamaha 1100 I’m trying to resurrect to sell. Not sure what I’ll get as a replacement but these things I will incorporate regardless.
Thanks so much for your help.
1) I didn't install a terminal block for the accessories. They're all connected directly to the stock wiring, each with their own fuses and connectors. But now that you mentioned it, a terminal block would've been a much better option.
2) Yes, I did run the wiring for the turn signals through the crash bar. That's why the setup looks clean, it's all hidden (at the 22:22 mark you can see the wire sleeving coming out of it). I just needed to drill a couple of holes for the light but other than that, it was pretty easy. And yes again, it's connected directly to the original wiring. They are LEDs so no need to worry about overloading the electrical system.
3) In the description of the video, there are links for some of things I show in the video. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend buying the same cheap LED strips I got. They gave me a lot of problems, and the quality is low (I say "gave" because I just sold this bike). If I were to do it again, I would buy them from some reputable brand. It'll be a little more expensive, but will pay off in the long run.
Love the video. If anyone says they did not t see you, they should not be driving. I love the bar end turn signals. Where did you find those grips? I have been looking but no luck so far. Lots of ideas for my VStar
Thank you. I found them on Amazon, but I don't recommend them. They fell apart a couple of months after I bought them.
Anyone find out where to get the voltmeter with the handlebar casing? Been looking on ebay and amazon to no avail.
Very nice bike
Thanks, nice nickname.
Where did you get those risers? Great video and well done on those mods.
I believe those are factory risers; they came with the bike when I bought it.
Kick ass bro Kick Ass. I love it
:)
Nice! Do you happen to have the part number of the Vance & Hines pipes? They sound amazing and I want to upgrade the pipes on mine. Thank you,
Sorry, I don't have this bike anymore.
Would like to know-where did the strip lights on the inside part of your bags and how did you mount them? Thanks
Is this around Napa Valley? Looks a LOT like where I grew up.
Nice man. Why not add round illuminated switch indicators to your panel switches to replace those taped on labels. You can put just initials or icons/symbols so they can be small.
Yes, I had a similar idea. But I got really busy and didn't follow through.
Just put 1 vibration motor under the seat. that way, when the turn signal is on, the seat will vibrate.
Nice work bro. I have a vstar 650 custom , I ordered a hypercharger same you fit on .. but I can fit that on due to modification to do on jets . If you put this on pls let me know how to do
do not put that ram air hypercharger on a Vstar bike. With a carb'd bike you can only jet it correctly for ONE SPEED.... 80mph for example, or 90mph... because a carb cannot adjust to the changes in the airflow from the air blast hitting the front of the bike.... The bike will run horribly rich below that one speed, and dangerously lean above it.
Epic
You did an excellent job on your bike. Have you ever thought about making that switch box and selling them? If you do let me know and I would buy one.
I wish I could. I sold my bike.
Another question. Did you install the “Back Off” module to your brake lights? What was the degree of difficulty to install? Thanks
Yes, it's not that difficult to install. I'm not exactly sure but I think they came with a diagram to do the wiring. You just have to cut the wires from your brake light and then hook them up to the module. As for you other question, yes, I ran the lights from the headlights (that's where I connected them to the turn signal lights) to the crash bars. Again, I don't remember if they came with a diagram. You only have to identify which wires are for the left and right turn signals.
Muy bonita moto. ¿Dónde compraste el soporte de las luces y los faros auxiliares?
El soporte ya venia con la moto cuando lo compre. Perdi el link donde compre las luces.
I have a Yamaha Vstar 1100 I am thinking about doing the same flashing brake mod next. Which model did you use?
I bought it off Amazon. As of right now, mine stopped working so I don't recommend it, but if you're curious, click on the description of this video, there you will see the link to a document where you can find the flasher module.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
Dang! In one paragraph you have ironed out an ongoing problem I've had with myv650. Thanks
Its not really ram air. I have one, there is a big open slot on the bottom, it cannot build pressure.
@@KyleReese-vt8bo
Not on all of them.
The early ones for the 650 specifically were closed entirely
Then they offered vented circular inserts
Now, since they no longer offer xvs650 stuff, people just use a different model hopercharger
since they all work as long as you have or make the right back mounting plate.
@@wiesshund-games I got the one for the 1100 and the dynahet stage 2 kit. I change plugs every 4th oil change, they always look great.
Do you know how to install gas gauge?
Where to buy those lights?
Good job bro, u could get a job with the cia lol
Who makesvthe new flasher relay. I have an 04 vstar. Can i use an electronic relay to stop hyper flash?
I would say so, unfortunately I don't have the bike anymore.
Next do the crusty brake fluid reservoir replacement mod.
what's the link for those highway bar lights? it's not on that list of parts.
If it's not on the list of parts, that means that I lost the link for that item. I installed them about 3 years ago so it's been a while.
You did something to increase power/acceleration ?
No, it's all stock
After T800 completed his mission. This bike is suitable for him for vacation. It has the same metal skull.

@@Asyss_Complex I think you should be careful if going out to a bar and play snooker.
How to install universal DRIVER backrest ??
I didn't install the backrest on my bike, I came with my bike when I bought it. But I had taken it apart a couple of times, believe me it's not that difficult to do.
Idk how to do all that wiring unfortunately
Hi how much money all this items cost you for customized your bike
I would say you could do it for under $1000, but it's quite labor-intensive.
Can you add a gas gauge to the bike
Actually I had plans to make a custom gauge for the bike, but I sold my bike last year and I never followed through with my plan. I'm not sure if any company has made a gas gauge for this specific bike. Would be a good thing to look around.
Good work.lot of work? Come do my stratoliner 48k 💗
How do i hire you to mod my bike? Lol your good my friend
:)
ON SALE?
It isn't, sorry.
how about adding open belt primary clutch drive assembly?
Is this what you're talking about: czcams.com/video/7w_yhJjac0Y/video.html ?
That would actually look really good, but I like the "compactness" of the original shaft drive.
yeah something like that.
I like the Christmas tree. Tho I wouldn't ride it
Cool video but that’s a classic not a silverado no buttons on everything
Pee-wee Herman would approve
Who is that?
What an amazingly stupid looking bike.
You took a good looking bike and destroyed it …..
How in the world did he destroy it?
V Star 650 Silverado is a modder's machine.
it will be a shame when that rats nest shorts out and burns up under his seat
I never thought I’d live to see it, but someone turned a VStar into a disco bike. What a piece of crap!
Beautiful bike I just bought a 1999 Yamaha v star 650 and not sure what I want to do with it yet I’m thinking more of a bobber type build since it’s already looks like one and this kinda give me a good idea of what mods I’ll do to it thanks 🫱🏽🫲🏾
Nice!
