The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

 So I am now 99% done, I just need the neck inserts that cover the neck of the frame and hide my hole.I also need to find a better spot for the ignition.

Here are some pics.

It looks VERY loud!

 If only they would have drilled those yammi TT's for internal wiring...thats what irks me about mine. Nice work,  I too some day hope to lose the tack and put a big ol' jackpot style headlight up front. BTW I saw some sweet carbon fiber neck inserts on here somewhere the other day... I think Z-Warrior's got em.

Wanna do mine next??? 

It looks good! I would love to do internal wiring on my bars. I am just wondering but those pipes look dangerously close to being short enough to risk valve damage.

I would not mind doing it to your bike, I learned a lot doing it to mine and feel like I could do a better job if I did it again. 

Also I fixed the clicking of death after taking off the front blinkers, by putting in a blue led and wired it up with a couple resistors and now I have accent lighting in the neck. I thought it was a win win situation.

BJINFIDEL:

I got 2 questions....1) How much of the neck can you drill away without taking away from its structural integrity? 2) Why did you leave the lil filter hanging out on the right hand side of the seat? Just curious. LOOKS GOOD!

1. I believe you can cut away all of the flat aluminum on the neck, because the tubes are pretty thick, and that is all other bikes have anyway and they do fine. 

2. The lil filter is my breather filter from the BAK kit I did myself, and it is there because I did not want to cut and splice new wires to put the tach under the seat. So now the tach sits under the gas tank and also provides blue accent lighting to the engine. :D

Next job, I will drill small holes in the handelbars and run those wires internally.

 Both breathers are connected, one is under the tank, the other sits right there to look cool. :D

 Rick,

Can you post a sound clip of how those pipes sound?  Got to be ear bleeding loud and hot on the legs.

 I will try, Maybe my wife can video tape me pulling out of the garage and down the street.  They are very loud, and I love pulling up to people driving like idiots on their cell phones and hitting the throttle hard.

They are also very hot, and I'm trying to find a cheap way to get better short ones that don't stick out. I cut these pipes, and they still scrape when I turn.
