    Oh no, not another Virago....WTF? Maybe it's a scrambler now?

    And I opened some boxes, my new visor was in there! I'm just searching for an "iron jaw" type guard and I'm good. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Tested the starting circuit, wired up the TCI, and rebuilt the stock petcock. I just need to get the new coils in, and hopefully fire it up! https://vimeo.com/197464881 I found my new helmet... And did some organizing around the house because it's been too dang cold and my heat in the shed...

    Here they are: The project '82 920 Virago (my buddy the welder next to it) The Tenere and the wife's bike put away so I have room for the project, this makes me sad. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I don't know how I would do it, that's why I bought one! I highly doubt I'll be of road at all honestly. With only a couple inches of travel, it won't be very nice. I have a KLR and a Super Ténéré for that! Today I loaded up the bike and my buddy did some work for me. It's getting...

    Not that I can tell. The forks are just a little shorter, but because it's not a leading axle, and I'm going to be putting actual handlebars on it instead of OEM clipons, it's right about at the same height. I forgot to measure the clearance before I tore the thing apart. It's probably slightly...

    Thanks, this is off the shelf, and if I go making anything it will be a higher exhaust, more fitting for a scrambler. Right now it's just kind of sitting there, so I'm not sure that is the correct position. And it's only on the one side, it's a 2-1 exhaust. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Baking Appliance Epoxy

    Good job! Just let it sit for a long time, it won't be fully cured for days or even a week or more depending on temperature. I just baked this yesterday, about 5 minutes after spraying a heavy coat.

    I'll mess with the stock regulator, this is a new, updated stock replacement, so I can use my lithium battery. Yesterday I finished up the side covers and the second gen starting system. I polished up the intake elbow covers: Then I threw it together, taped up the subframe, poorly...
