2002 V-Star Classic 650

Owner Brian Kim

The best part about this project is that I did all the work myself, including all the fabrication and the paint. This is my first bike, and about this time last year, I did not even know how to weld or paint.... This past winter, I took some courses that were offered locally and I started to modify my bike. I am very proud of what I have done to my bike, and I am in process of modifying bikes for other people.
