Hello DTT! Lurked the forums for a while and recently began putting a 1982 Virago 920 under the knife, thought I'd show you guys my progress. Enjoy!
Picking it up, pretty clean as it was, low milage and owned for ages by an old couple.
Tearing into the breakdown
Old parts
New parts
Dirty motor....
Clean motor
Going through and polishing every bolt and nut
The poor mans bench grinder
The difference some emery compound and a lot of patience can make
Mocking up the fork
And the other pony
The front wheel came in today. Just waiting on the tank and a new crank cover (current one is in bad shape) to come in and then fab work can begin.
I'll be doing the fork swap to mate the front end next week and hopefully have a rolling frame by then.
