Ant’s Custom Yamaha Warrior is back for more. The fancy overpriced mirrors lasted about 2 days.

They warrentyed them but R&R was a pain.

While he’s back we’re adding air ride and LEDs. New rear fender after Daytona.

Original build below.

Removal of tach, speedo, turn signals and ignition switch cleaned up the front end.

 

Forks stripped and flamed to match by CrowTownCustomZ.com

 

New chrome Ultima controls and Badlands digital mirrors contain instruments and turn signals.

 

Brake Calipers also color matched.

 

 

 

 

 

Much leaner and cleaner…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mission was to clean up the front end by eliminating the speedo, tach and dash.

 

Replacing with Badlands digital mirrors.

Relocating the ignition switch, chrome controls and clean up front end in general.

 

 

 

Spaghetti… uggg

 

 

 

 

 

New hand controls and mirrors mounted.

 

Ant wanted all new chrome engine covers.

New chrome cam, compression release and gear case covers installed.

 

 All factory Yamaha SpeedStar products were of great quality and a perfect fit including new chrome bolts.

Arrived w/in a week and bolted on in minutes. Highly recommended and I’m not even on the Yamaha payroll anymoreJ

 

The other chrome was not so easy. These parts required a lot of extra work. The bolt holes were a mess and one required a trip to the machine shop to make it usable.

 

Anthony also added painting of brake calipers and forks to match the bike.

 

The front fender mounts were broke off the lower legs and poorly repaired once already. The large heavy steel fender he is running is too much for the R-1 forks ran on the Warriors. It’s designed for a small plastic one. We designed and discussed options for a fiberglass fender or new mounts made for the forks but Ant wants to run as is and take his chances. NO POTHOLES PLEASE!

 

Davey at CrowTownCustomZ.com did a great job as usual.

 

 

 

Now getting the calipers reassembled and full of paint eating brake fluid is going to be another challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All wires were pulled, tested and labeled, then rerouted, soldered and shrink-wrapped.

Props to Rick and the guys at Badlands for their excellent tech help!

 

Lots of wires… The factory speedo and tach were relocated under the seat to keep the Yamaha ECM happy.

 Done!
