I know this is a suuuuper old thread revival.... but are there any more pictures of this? i found a Virago for pennies on CL and i'm looking to do something similar to what you have here. I like it.
thanks! the virago really is an interesting base to start with. so ugly stock, but that v twin is sexy and the customs i've seen from it, including this one, just look awesome.
There's definitely something addictive about these bikes ! I have 4 projects now based on the UK version the TR1 [ 980cc / chain drive ].
The first is to be a 60's Brit style Cafe Racer [ my era ]. I've managed to collect most of the parts needed over the past 12 months and the donor [ 18K mile 1 owner bike ] has been stripped down to the bare frame / motor and all the unwanted squitter sold off to finance the project.
Won't duplicate the info here [ it's over in "Vindicator" - Cafe Racer in the Projects pile ], but here's just the basics - a different approach to most of my US and Canadian cousins.
Alloy rimmed steel spoked wheels [ XS650 ]
Grimeca 4LS front hub / brake
AJS 7R influenced 5 gall tank
AJS 7R seat base
+ all the usual clip-ons, rear-sets, etc, etc.
