@@Sengel90 greetings! Love this build. I’m doing one as well. Any chance you could tell me where you got your throttle cable? I put clip-ons onto my forks so my OEM cable is too long now. Looking for the length and brand you went with. I’m thinking I’ll need a 30” cable + or - a few”. Thanks!
@@justinlacy8428 I got the cable on ebay (was $17). Unfortunately can't get more details as the website does not go back that long. It's a common cable, nothing special. You have to go cut it to length. Check on CZcams how to do it, It is not a big deal. Enjoy your built!
Hey bud, I still come and watch this video from time to time because I love this build. Question, I'm having a helluva time tuning my XV920 carbs. Do you remember your jet settings or turns on the pilot mixture screw? I know the bike is long gone but any guidance is better than where I'm at now.
Man, these cafe racers are the $#it now days. I'm lovin every minute of it. I see honda brought back a new version of their old CB750 and you can get it in an 1100cc close updated version. Kawasaki has did the same thing with their KZ900 👍👍👍
This is such a beautiful build! Great job Stefan. I was wondering if you could let me know where you found your levers and master cylinder. I have an 83 920 and I'm looking to make way with the stock master and levers, but I can't seem to find something likes yours. Thank you in advanced!
Hi Sergio, thank you for the comments. The master cylinder I bought on Amazon (PerfecTech Motorcycle Accessories Racing CNC Billet Front Master Cylinder Brake Fluid Oil Reservoir Tank Bracket Cup Universal for YZF R6 R1 FZ1 Z1000 Z750 ZX(Black). Currently unavailable but try somewhere else. The levers I bought on eBay but can't find the description anymore as eBay deletes the entries history more than 2 years old. I know I paid $70 for the kit. Similar item, google: 7/8'' 22mm Universal Motorcycle Brake Clutch lever Master Cylinder Reservoir Kit. Enjoy your bike! Cheers..
@@Sengel90 Reply notification got lost, thank you for the response! I ended up working grinding and re-shaping the stock levers. On a side note, I’ve been looking everywhere for a round, chrome plated air filter like yours. Where did you source that if you don’t mind me asking... again :)

Dziękuje za komentarz. Many hours and bottles of Whiskey have been invested in this bike. It rides just awesome! Unfortunately I do not have it anymore. Cheers! bądź bezpieczny i ciesz się jazdą na motocyklu
I did not mount it anywhere. This bike very rarely needs a choke and if you should need to use it you have to move the lever directly on the carb. Thanks for your question and be safe.
His idle is set to 900 (looking at the tach) which is very slightly low but it sounds like the carbs are a tiny bit out of sync if you listen closely at the low-end as he's about to rev
@@daltonshooks1518 i did the dynojet stage 1 kit. Cant remember what jet sizes it came with. I know that the rear cylinder must always run a but richer than front for cooling reasons.
This is one of the cleanest custom Viragos I have seen. Also a very slow moving video which shows all your hard work, thanks for that!
Thanks for your positive comments. Stay safe and enjoy life.

Que motocicleta más hermosa...👍
Beautiful sound
Beautiful bike you have🤗🤗
Take it for a spin man! It sounds amazing.
Perfect...what a beuitiful bike. That's style If us ask me

I want one 😢
now we need to see it riding
Takiego sobie budował dokładnie 👍 tylko jak to zrobić żebym chciał to tego się jeszcze przez kanał na CZcams nie udało zrealizować
Nice bike. Where did you place the battery?
Wow!
How do you get it to make that growl sound after closing the throttle? Some people's viragos don't make the sound.
Can’t really tell you exactly, but ev. must be the result of the curving of the rear cylinder exhaust.
nice bike
Is that back rim off a later virago or is that the original? Looks really good man. I love the matte black finish and it sounds sweet!
Hi, thanks for your comment. The back rim is from a 1984 virago 750 (II Generation). It fits first gen. without modifications. Cheers
@@Sengel90 That's kinda what I was thinking. Thanks for posting
Hey man your awesome sharing your parts and everything thanks in advance but please tell me about that front end fork tubes n triple trees?
Hi, the front fork with tree came from a 2001 Yamaha YFZ R1. Hope this helps.
Did you build the subframe/seat? I have an 82 and going to start the project this winter.
Daniel, yes I did build it. It is height adjustable too. Have fun building yours.👍
Beautiful bike! I didn’t see a choke cable, what did you do with the choke?
I have no choke, took it off. This bike rarely needs one and if, then you twist the choke lever at the carb directly.
Superbe 💀💖👌
Well done!

Где он взял такие клипоны?
The bike looks good but is a bobber not cafe racer
Thanks for the comment. Got a bit of everything. Not arguing on your view. I guess I will then call it a "Cafe Bobber". Cheers.
@@Sengel90 amazing build! I’m doing one right now. Curious how you mounted the battery and if you used a 12V antigravity
@@justinlacy8428 it’s been a nice project. The battery is an antigravity battery and is sitting in a custom metal cage I did. Have fun doing yours.
Hey Stefan is that rear tire easy direct swap or needs to be modified in the shop ?
No modification is needed, all original Yamaha parts. Cheers!
Stefan Engel Sorry again , but is the rear rim from second generation virago (xv1000 /xv1100) or is stock 1983 xv920?
It is stock from second generation. No modification is required. Cheers
Stefan Engel thank you mmen
Is it me or just doesn't sound it's running properly. Kinda slow revving? I've seen other xv920's and they don't sound like this.
His idle is set to 900 (looking at the tach) which is very slightly low but it sounds like the carbs are a tiny bit out of sync if you listen closely at the low-end as he's about to rev
It's this that makes me dread the day that everything is electric and fosself fuels are band maybe we can find a way to run them on hydrogen
How much did you spent in this custom ?
Elvis, donor bike was $900. Added another $8,000 in used and new parts. Labor actually not included 😎
@@Sengel90 thank you ... That's some cool bike you got there ... Love how every parts s put together
@@elviskuki3877 I don’t have it anymore. Sold it earlier this year. But must say, I miss it a lot
Where's the battery?
It’s underneath the seat in a custom metal cage.
Rear tire size?
rear tire is 140/90 x15, front is 130/80 x17
I want your bike
What intakes are those?
Hi Josh, just the original Hitachi Gen II Carbs. Rejjeted for open air filter and custom exhaust.
@@Sengel90 Hey Stefan, what size jets did you use?
@@daltonshooks1518 i did the dynojet stage 1 kit. Cant remember what jet sizes it came with. I know that the rear cylinder must always run a but richer than front for cooling reasons.
Esto es una cafe bobber no queda muy claro lo que es
