"even more BAD-ASS than Ichiban moto" , Is that even possible??? Great bike, I am constantly amazed at the beautiful bikes guys are making with the Virago - TR1.

Great start, excellent selection. Are there many Japanese bikes from before the Soviet demise? As to the rear wheel clearance it looks nearly unchanged, and with the lighter bike it may be fine. Plus the "drop link" form the rocker to the swing arm, looks a easy way to adjust, just make it...

Wow, we have had some excellent TRi-Virago builds, and this joins towards the top. Very nice detailing and an excellent overall form. Just beautifully conceived and executed.

Congratulations, you have done a great job.

This looks like a very sensible resto.

What shock did you decide on? I think the bike needed a lift in the rear.

Great bike, great thread.

Me to, looked like a good start.

This should be a very interesting build! Watching.

Exceptionally good work, both aesthetically and mechanically excellent.

It appears that the Motomia is a South African brand? I do not believe they are available here in the US? Looks interesting, and that is a good choice for a seat. Interesting to use a nearly new bike, if the price was right that should make for a sanitary build without all the rust, corrosion...

Re: Xv750 build and advice Sorry you are not getting any advice on your questions. Have you tried aftermarket piston companies, like Wiseco?

Re: Norton 880 Commando Special As to the seat I was hoping to find a sourse for a similar (same?) seat. Your bike is coming along veery nicely.

Re: Norton 880 Commando Special I really like that seat, however, Googling it comes up with nothing relevant. Just what is that seat off of??

I believe you are wrong, I should think many will find this very interesting. Please just don't take 10 years to do it.

Wow, that is very nice. Looking forward to seeing this beauty take shape.

Beqautiful bike. Two things, if you were to raise the angle of the mufflers slightly and then trim the underside of the eat slightly they could be parallel. The bottom line of the tank and seat still need some tweaking, I can't see an easy solution, but others probably can.

Like the sketch and the idea of a sleeker tail. You might look to the rear of the tank for inspiration?

Wow, you have chosen a very tough row to hoe in. Still that is a lovely engine if a bit small. I have its 650 big Bros.

I'll be watching this one. I love the idea of newer bikes being built in the "Cafe Spirit". That tank already gives the bike an interesting look.
