Photoshop Custom: GS550 (Again?)

After playing with Photoshop on this bike for quite some times, here comes the latest rendering. It's something I like to do if I has this bike.
Here's an out of the box mod to this bike. I don't think I can build this, unless I has a garage with tools, and lots of skills... which I don't.
Anyway, really had fun designing this.

Photoshop Custom - Dragstar/V-Star 650

I like Dragstar/V-Star 650, I'll start a series of Photoshop customization to it whenever I can find some spare time.
I like the riding position of a cruiser and the style of a streetfighter, so the best way to get one is by modifying a cruiser into a street fighter. This is something I like to see happened to a Dragstar/V-Star 650 if I had one and if budget and parts are available.




Before

The mods are.
  1. Lower the front fender.
  2. Customize a narrower and less roundish fuel tank.
  3. Change to a pullback riser with a narrow drag bar with bar end mirrors.
  4. Speedometer relocate to the handlebar.
  5. Change the headlight to a vertical dual headlight.
  6. Cut the back portion of the frame to reveal the shock.
  7. Remove the battery cover and customized the battery compartment to a more industrial look.
  8. Modified and heat wrapped the exhaust into a sportier one.
  9. Change the seat to a solo seat held by a leaf spring.
  10. Change the back fender to a bobber fender.
  11. Build a frame to hold a curve license plate at the back of the wheel.
  12. Change the rims to five spoke sport rims.
  13. Spray most of the parts into flat black except the engine and the upper fork.
This is actually the same bike shown in the masthead with slightly different color scheme.
