Each VStar is specific to their engine, If you want to build your own, just buy a custom frame tabbed for that engine. Back in the 70's and 80's we could buy frames from a company called jammer. You ordered the frame and you told them if you wanted it tabbed or not and if tabbed what motor you were using.
Here is a company that makes custom frame for Metric Engines:



Now you can take that Yamaha engine and make a totally custom motorcycle.

Here is a place with custom Metric Parts.
