Hello All from Toronto, Ontario
I was introduced to this web site by Kgdb such a great web site, informative and seemingly unbiased. It seems people here all have one thing in common and that is a love for riding and bikes. I am glad to share mine with you and hope you enjoy as I do.
I have what I call a "Freak of Nature" it's a Vstar 300. A heavily modified Vstar 1100 Classic 2002. Frame is still factory. Extreme and unusual one off swing arm with an 18x10 rear Ford Mustang wheel w/300 Venom. Custom made hub that acommodates the rotor and caliper within the inside of the wheel.
Front end Harley triple wide trees (5 deg.) modified to fit vstar extended tubes modifed axle to fit Harley 21" x3.25" Weld Racing Blade 120x70 Venom x
The bars are custom made take offs from the Billy Lane Bobzilla. Controls relocated removed and simplified. Less is more.
Why a Vstar- this type of bike and modification is extremely rare. It was a challenge to make.
Thanks for listening,
Widetail
PS If there are any firefighters please let me know. I am a Toronto firefighter and I am on the Toronto Fire Combat Challenge Team. I have met and competed against firefighters from all over the world and I'm happy to meet and greet.

Re: Hello All from Toronto, Ontario
I added some pics of his bike to his post. Check it out! Now I am pretty old school and normally a fat tire doesnt turn me on but this one sure the heck does! An huge amount of fabrication on this one ! If any of you are familiar with the frames and swing arm set up on these bikes you will certainly appreciate the work on this one! Overall the bike shows very very clean and minimal eveywhere else. High end for sure, FANTASTIC bike. Great job Widetail.

Welcome from Joisey.
I have to say, I too am not a fat tire kind of guy but I can really appreciate all the work that went to putting that one on there. Great looking bike.
