Yamaha "Journey Further" Star Eluder Custom by Cory Ness

.  

When Yamaha introduced the Star Eluder as the ultimate V-Twin bagger, the allure of customization potential was shared by custom bike builder Cory Ness.

Cory Ness called this custom job “Journey Further”.  He's also the son of legendary motorcycle designer and builder Arlen Ness, President of Arlen Ness Motorcycles.  Three generations of the Ness family have been heavily involved in the motorcycle industry for nearly 50 years, and with Cory at the helm, Yamaha formed a partnership to create the custom "Journey Further" Star Eluder.

 

Yamaha says the bike “embodies the spirit of the Star Eluder, which combines powerful performance with ultimate comfort features and technology to allow riders to journey further than ever before.”

 

Ness accentuated the wide front end of the Eluder by giving it a wider 180-mm front tire mounted on a billet aluminum wheel, while widening the stock front fender. He also made the rear end lower and longer to make the already low stance even more aggressive. Cory added a Ness-designed rear fender and saddlebags, a Corbin Seat and the new billet aluminum Arlen Ness Accessories developed specifically for the Eluder.

 

The custom blue paint job with black accents throughout the bike makes the "Journey Further" Eluder stand out.

 

Cory says, “Sometimes, attention to little details makes the big details look even better, which makes it a great overall package.  There is nothing like the open road in the middle of nowhere to see the country.  This motorcycle just makes you want to ride, which is a key takeaway in any custom motorcycle. The "Journey Further" Star Eluder’s low center of gravity and seat height means being able to sit on it flat-footed, which adds to the confidence in it as a touring bike.”
