Randy – Nice scoot!
This would be the last custom metric I built. It started out as mine and my wife’s 1999 Yamaha Royal Star. We made a few decent trips on her, but then the wife got over it. So, not being happy with anything I get in stock trim, and at that time building custom metric bikes on the side, I chopped her. Down to the frame, special made brackets, fenders, fiberglass pieces that my father and I did. Used a few Harley parts modified to fit and work flawlessly. Had 18” RC Components Billet “Sheriff” wheels. The back tire was a 180/55-18 and had to be mounted in the bike in three pieces. The wheel that is. There was literally about 2 business cards thickness between the tire and shaft which was also removed and V-max gearing installed. I custom designed the seat and Corbin used my drawing to make it. Made the lowering kit for it as well and she was adjusted to almost have no shock effect in the rear. Almost like riding a ridged!
She was aptly titled, “The Apocalypse”.
But, new house needed, new truck needed, and our first BABY BOY was definitely needed, so she had to go! Maybe another one in the future? Who knows………….
Please excuse the less quality shots. I did the best I could in PSE5 with some old 2.1m shots!!
Sorry so long……………
