i love how mine sound full, but not waking the neighborhood at the same time. just a nice rumble

​@JasonJohnCowart omg I just did this and it sounds amazing. Absolutely love that low rumble. Sounds amazing!

Came on the bike

small tack welds

@@JasonJohnCowart do you know the inlet size of the baffle? I’m thinking a hole saw just big enough to fit inside and break the welds loose

@@COLORADO__SUBURBAN I used a 2 inch metal hole saw.

This is a Roadstar. They only come in 1600 or 1700. 1600 til 2004, 1700 from then on. You are thinking VStar. They come in 650 and 1100. In the video is a 2007 RoadStar 1700.

No rejetting and no backfiring

Yes. Once you see them you'll understand. I built this years ago and they still use it every week.

07 is a carb model. You get a rumble, but not deafening. I am in a neighborhood and it is sufficiently loud but not a bother.

none at all

Look in the description and you'll see a website for Bill Kingsley. That is where i got mine.

Awesome! I just saw this (4 weeks late) but if you need any help let me know!

@@JasonJohnCowart thanks brother

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been at New Covenant for about 3 years now (moved to Houston to plant a church). They are still using it every wednesday night lol. Holding up great!

@@JasonJohnCowart Thanks!

They do have to be modified slightly. What I would do is jump over to Facebook and look up a god named Billy Kingsley Jr. he is in the Roadstar clinic Facebook group and the Yamaha Road star riders Facebook group. He makes them so he would definitely be the guy to ask. He’s who I got mine from. If you look in the description on this video you can see his website as well. As far as the midnight goes, there are several variations of a Roadstar. Mine is a regular Lonestar, there is the Silverado, and there is the midnight. They are just different trim options. It doesn’t mean much difference in terms of the mechanics.

I haven't but man alive is the ride amazing with the roadwing.

lol truth

Not sure about the air shock as I’ve never had one, but since I’ve installed it, not only has the ride been exponentially smoother, I haven’t bottomed out on anything yet like I did before. As far as the electrical goes, mine is an electric rap that allows me to adjust the load hydraulically. This allows me to firm it up what I ride two up and lessen it a little when it is just me. You can purchase manual raps as well that have a knob that can adjust the shock as well.

@@JasonJohnCowart OK the feed back is much appreciated! Thank you for the insight I am going to look into this. Thanks again!

So a couple of things...Yes it drastically helps the ride. I haven't bottomed out once on the bike and the actual smoothness of the ride is better. Even my kids felt it the first time they rode after installing it. Another thing is that it allows the bike to sit up a little higher which helped me with clearance getting into my driveway. I live in a neighborhood where the curbs are slanted which creates a good bump up. Before I'd have to creep up but now I can drive up it with not bottoming out issues. Being able to adjust it for the weight (1 up vs 2 up) has allowed the ride to be much smoother. It is absolutely the best upgrade I've done in terms of a difference in operation. ED Seat was the second thing. Also, I've noticed zero negatives to cornering or anything like that. Seriously I can't think of a single negative. All good!

I did the same with the brick but put a 4' crowbar between the wheel and the brick easy to move the tire to line up

I'm not sure, but that is only because I didn't measure it before installing it. I do know that it "felt" lower at the lowest point than stock, but that could be totally subjective. My 10 year old daughter instantly noticed a difference on a ride that afternoon though. If she could notice, that must mean it works well!

@@JasonJohnCowart Thanks for the info

Sorry for the late reply. No visual other than the video. Super easy work though. 2 2x12s, eye hooks, threaded rod, nuts and washers, and the mending plates.

Hey, my names Alex. I’m probably going to do something similar for my Eagle Project. I was wondering, did you complete yours and how did it turn out?

Does this hold up to kids sitting on it?

@@ryanc203 i would say it does…although I would try to encourage kids to sit near the ends where the vertical supports are. If they did it enough or are too rough with it I’m sure you could have problems eventually

@Mj Meneley thanks for the reply.

Is this accurate? SIX PANEL 12 - 2x12x8 pine 6 - 1/2 all thread 2 feet long 6 - 1/2 nuts 12 - handles 48 - Size 4 eye hooks 4 - caster wheels (optional) EIGHT PANEL 16 - 2x12x8 pine 7 - 1/2 all thread 2 feet long 7 - 1/2 nuts 16 - handles 64 - Size 4 eye hooks 4 - caster wheels (optional)

Anna van D none at all.

Jamie Petrie I believe I listed them out in the video itself. 2 x 12s, mending plates, all thread, eye hooks, lock nuts, and heavy duty wheels, should you choose to put it on wheels. Each panel is two 2 x 12 x 8‘. I used 4 mending plates to put them together, two on one side, two on the other. Each end gets at least 4 eye hooks. I used 4 eye hooks on each side. Then each junction gets a 2 foot piece of all thread with a lock nut at the top.

Jason John Cowart oh man! Thank you so much!

Shawn Kirkland Less than $300. It’s about $200 for the lumber (pretax) and probably another $50-100 or so for the hardware.

We use it every single week and it has held up beautifully. The only thing I would’ve done differently is when it comes to the caster wheels on the bottom, I would’ve purchased much bigger ones. The ones I purchased did not have a high enough weight capacity. They roll, but when you get all of them stacked, it is very difficult to roll it. Bigger wheels with a higher load rating would’ve worked better. But, our guys just carry them in and out as I have attached a handle to the tops of the panels
