F X S T E I N - Frankenstein's blog
Frankenstein's stories of big V-Twins.
The rides, the builds, what to do and what not, an evolution of my bikes. Go faster, faster, faster. What can a turbo do to you? Is there such a thing as too much power? What's technology have to do with this? Secret and not so secret mods. Express yourself: ... you make it your own ... sounds too familiar - as much as I like riding my bikes I like building and modding them.
You have come to the place where you find writeups about the most advanced Yamaha - Star Motorcycles Custom Metrics.
The all mighty Roadstar Warrior with its 102 ci/1700cc stock engine, the all new Roadliner and Stratoliner with 113ci/1900cc all the way to custom turbos and NOS installations.

FXStein's Final Monster Garage of the Year 2006
admin | 10 January, 2007 08:40
December 29th was the day - or better night. The final chance for a great Monster Garage in my little bike shop. A whole bunch of the local Warrior gang showed up for a night of fun. As always we had some plans for wrenching around but somehow we did not get too much done. ;-) To much talking, enjoying good old Fat Tire beer, watching recent videos, pizza and plenty of scotch. The night started out around 7pm and it sure was one of the colder nights you find out here in California during our usually not so winterish winters.
Merry Christmas & Hapy New Year 2007!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2007!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you out there! Enjoy your holidays and maybe a nice ride if the weather permits. If not spend some quality time with your favorite Warrior and get some mods done! ;-)
I for myself am working on the 21 bike to finalize the intercooler setup and just got done putting an R1 front end onto the 05 midnight bike. I am also working on a new custom performance exhaust for Warrior bigbores.
Enjoy your time and ride safe!

After getting started with my blogging efforts with a small Mac tool on my .mac homepage I soon started to realize that it took more of everything to manage my quickly growing blog. Stories got too long, formating became a pain and so I decided I would put this blog on my own server, where all my other files reside.
