I’ve been looking for a vstar bobber with a windshield installed. Just to see what it would look like. Not disappointed. Though, for the life of me, I can’t seem to understand how people deal with ape hangers that tall. It looks and feels so uncomfortable and hard to ride! Edit: aah, this is a Wildstar. Still. Close enough to me 🤷♂️

Hi Brobore, it is a Wildstar, but the windshield probably is of a V-star. I bought it second hand including (Wildstar) mounting brackets, asuming it would fit rightaway....but it didn't! I had to make new brackets using the ones that came with the windshield. I popped a detailed video on my channel (kzitem.info/news/bejne/qo6i1X5on4SEqHo). About the apes: they look really cool (I think!) and they ride surprisingly comfortable....behind the windshield that is! I rode them last year's summer without the windshield. Than you catch a lot of wind on the highway!

@@EricleChevalier64 I need to get into the more technical side of motorcycles. I know nothing as of now. I wouldn’t know what part comes from what. But the bike does look really cool. I love the all black look. Idk why I don’t find the ape hangers good looking. I guess I’d have to try them for myself before judging. As of now. My favorite handlebar position is medium high bent toward the rider. I feel it’s the most comfortable. I don’t even like the T-bars. I feel like it’s too up-right, like a sport bike, but without the leg position to keep you more comfortable. Maybe I’m just weird 🤷♂️. Can I ask what exhaust that is? It sounds awesome. And way better than my stock vstar 1100 exhaust

@@Brobore hahahahaha….I get it. It’s all about personal taste. There’s a saying here in Holland that says: you can’t possibly argue about (personal) taste, or literally in Dutch: “over smaak valt niet te twisten!”. The exhaust, by the way, are Vance & Hines staggered shortshots with super q(uiet) baffles.

@@EricleChevalier64 true. I respect that! And thank you! Hopefully they fit the vstar, I love how they sound! I’ll give ape hangers a shot eventually! They do look ideal in hot weather! Cooling the arm pits! I’ll give ‘em a try!

Hi may I ask what size is the rear tire and rim? Did you change anything from the original to put in ? The bike looks fantastic. I would like to do mine the same way for the rear tire. My bike is a yamaha roadstar midnightstar 1700 I don't think there is much difference. Greetings from Bulgaria 😊

Hi Kristiyan from Bulgaria! Rear tire is a 240 and the rim is 18 inch. To make it work I had to remove the original brakecaliper attachement on the swingarm. There is a video of it on my channel. I do think there are some differences between a midnightstar and a Wildstar (or Roadstar), but what exactly I don’t know. Thanks for the compliment amigo! Greetings from Holland.

Hi Oksana, these are Vance & Hines staggered short shots for Yamaha Wildstar. I’ve added extra quiet baffles, but as you can hear they are not so quiet!
