Done a great job, bit late to the party as this video is 7 years old but im glad i stumbled upon it. I have similar plans for my 1992 virago. . The stock seat and sissy bar had to go though no cutting frame as i wanted the passenger option , looks so much better slimming down the rear end and fitting new bars. I will do a few hundred miles first before commiting to more work,fingers crossed no problems. 👍
@@marcelvlieger Thanks. Early days here. At this point in time, its just stripping down the basic bike and deciding how far to go. You've given me some great ideas though..
The turn lights on the back where could I find them... i have the same bike you are customizing in the video and I have quite a bit of work to do to mine and one of my problem is I can not fine those turn signals you have on yours I dont want to oeder the wrong dimensions and be stuck with somthing that wont work...I like the build you did btw very nice ..
How is the rear fender connected? Just with the two bars off the rear wheel? Or is it attached under the seat/ to the frame--I have nearly the same bike and am looking to chop it up

I just bought a 1992 Virago 750. Needs a lot of work. Thanks for this video.

Wow. Vet gedaan. Nu sinds een paar maanden een 1993 model. Alleen paintjob en wat parts voorlopig. Dank voor de inspiratie.
Tastefully done & a nice video. Great work. Similar project underway.

I welded an bracket to te rear suspension frame, and conected the fender to it with an nut. So the fender could bee removed when changing tyre..
Nice.. Can you link your exhaust pls?
