I just bought a stock 1995 750 bout two months ago n may wanna do something similar.... best sounding virago ive heard so far ...has a low fat rumble, nice :)
No kit Tim, just did it myself its pretty easy just takes time , couple things needed to be fabed , Im extending the rear fender soon and putting a sissy bar on it just a lil one nothing crazy , also white walls soon :)
I think it sounds pretty good, I got a 1982 ,xv920 an been thinking about changing the exhaust, an this bike, and 1 other I've heard, is the best out of about 50 I've listened to..
Thanks , I would change them you won't regret it , these are Cobra slip ons , I also changed the carb from 2to1 mikuni may make a bit of diff in sound also .
NP Ya do I would love to see , Im in the works of changing the rear fender and painting at moment stay tuned and Ill post soon also , I have been meaning to do a vid on when I purchased till now , took pics and video of everything I did basically :) You will learn as you go Good luck and safe riding !!!
Hey Boy860, I purchased them of TC Bros Choppers .com they are universal controls I had to fab a bar that mounts right under the engine where the highways/stock pedals all hooked up and then got the bar machined so the controls screw right into them and had to cut down my existing brake pedal for link and reversed my shift linkage to make them work , if that makes sense :) I can post a vid if you like!
I can't really tell, but are those pipes baffled or is it straight piped? And if so what size jets did you have to run? I'm thinking about removing the baffles out of my drag pipes.
Sorry for late reply but yes they are baffled but they can be removed easy , also I'm still figuring out the jets at moment but will let you know once I get back to riding its been awhile .
Dude how much did you waste total to convert it and can you do a video of what you installed and did on the bike by the way this is the best virago bobber I've seen nice
the carb kit was around 800 shipped to canada and the exhaust was 210 Slash cut cobras I paid 1300 for the bike safe to say I've put prob close to 1300 been trying to keep it as much low budget as possible you can get the 2into1 manifold and carb from KJS manifold , everything else just took time did lots or research and found ways to make it work out , check virago forums and some guys made a template for forward controls i changed a bit up , oh and the pegs I bought aftermarket i believe they were 80 and thank you I love this bike still have lots to do that I want but in time next year ill have it done i hope ill make new videos and describe more after winter here . Do you have one?
Yea I have a 1982 virago 750 with only 10000 miles on it all stock I'm trying to make it a bobber and so far your virago is the best one I've seen I would like to make it just like yours btw my virago is also matte gray but I'm thinking of painting not sure yet
Emiliano Zapata THANKS, ya its fun to mess around I latterly have no idea what I was doing just youtubed a lot and researched and went in cutting double checking and making sure it wouldn't effect my safety I also lowered it 1inch when I made it a hard tail , the seat is original I just cut it and shaved then took it to get upholstered
It actually looks a little different now I changed the rear fender and painted it some more kept the flat black on tank and fenders but frame and brake drum I satin blacked it
+biteme nice, we'll I just looked at alot of videos of bobber and just hit up alot of virago forums and found some ideas then went from there, I chopped what I could on low budget with out jeopardizeing safety. I wanted to use as much original parts as I could to keep it still looking like a virago. So just fined the style you like and go for it.
