Finally got the new plugs, it runs pretty well now! Tuned it up a bit more after this video https://vimeo.com/200223681 Time to start getting things wired up! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Slight update for today: It runs! Kind of https://vimeo.com/198152752 The controls starting to come together Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Dang, that's pretty tough looking! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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

Just a little bit of progress before I had to leave for Mexico. I mounted up the M-Unit, Test fit the battery and battery box I also updated my shed lighting, wow, it's almost too bright in there now! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I never thought I would say this about an old sporty, but I like it! Nice job cleaning it up. 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

Exhaust showed up today, so of course I had to try it out! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I just used a toothpick and a little bit of the engine enamel.

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...

That's the same reason I'm building the Virago Scrambler, because I had it! FYI, the meefos are great, but a Mitas E-07 is even better! ;)

Nice! Seems like you took a strange bike and made it cool too!

I wouldn't bake with much temp due to the filler, but I bake my metal parts around 300 and it comes out nice, smooth and glossy.

Messing around with the R/R, here is ok, I'd rather hide it under the tank, but I'm a bit worried about airflow and cooling under there. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I'm thinking I'll be making it so the front ends can switch, or at the very least I'm going to make the wheel work with this front end. Then I can switch the look whenever I want. I've put it back together, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to do some welding on the frame, so...
