1982 virago..a bobber build

[Dalers08]

What made you go with that front end over an R6 or R1? And where did you send off the stem to get machined?

I plan on doing the same thing to my Virago I picked up a few years ago. Need to keep myself busy this summer since I won't have a fun car!

this thing is straightttt. Awesome vision

How does it ride?

The ride is a little harsh, only because of the low bars...my back is sore after about 30 minutes of riding

What size is this? 250?

It's a virago 750

Well I raised the tank a bit, and decided to do a little i phone photoshoot during a ride today...











I just need to get some rotors before i can install the front brakes, and I'm going to start fabbing s subframe for the 2 person seat sometime next week

basically the aluminum post (the stem) needed to be machined to match the dimensions of the virago stem

Oh.... I was thinking the actual frame part had to be modified. This is so much easier! AND cheaper!

Viragos can be fun, and the v twin confuses people. Here is the 535 rat I built...

good looking rat bike, you can pretty much take these bikes in any direction you want when it comes to modifying them..they make a great starting platform

GSXR front end is dope!

Do you have any pics of what needed to be modified to fit the GSX-R front end? Loving the bike!

great looking build.

Thanks! Unfortunately i don't have any pictures as i was very anxious to install the front end once i got the parts back.. here is a picture off of google to show the stem before it was machined

I took some pics of Mike's bike tonight after work, bigger tire on front. I'll let him do the talking, cause quite frankly I want to go to bed.

love your build man! good work.
I've always wondered, where are you planning to display your number plate?
Also, not sure if you're aware, but 'Heist' is building a bobber on the side. Awesome one to follow as well.

Thanks dude, if you look in the last picture you can kind of see the plate mount that i made..just on the right side of the rear wheel. I'll get several better photos of the bike after i get the new front tire on it
