Virago # 2 is on for this weekend


This guy opted to junk the tach idea and go with a upper triple clamp similar to the other one after seeing pictures.   This one is a 920cc midnight or something with gold trim and flip flop paint from the factory and its in good shape so no major sheet metal mods or anything.

Fuck Yeah Bench Seats # 37

Been dreaming of building one like this one

Twin engine XS650 vintage drag bike I found in images on the web .
 I have a hookup on a spare engine ,  I just need to find another titled engine and chassis .   I would make mine streetable and have the single backbone / fuel tank. I would make the fit and finish to a show bike level and probably use a front brake.   I've loved the multi engined bikes since I was a kid and the XS is a nice fit.

Virago wires, I know its boring but I got nothin otherwise

So   this is the whole harness,  not much to it really .    I dont often run turn signals and that takes more time than it sounds like .     On a good note I picked up the parts to complete the other Virago last night so I can finally get that done this week.   maybe free up a hoist so I can get back to choppin my Harley.

More wire



I wouldn't even bother showing this stuff normally, but its better than nothing I guess.
The shot on the bottom is the stuff that I'm eliminating from the harness.
My daughter took these pictures,  thats why they don't suck as much as mine usually do.

I Love Making Sense Of Wiring

What a mess.....   Most of this wiring is redundant bullshit .  There is a switch for the side stand that is connected to relay thats connected to the clutch switch thats connected to a relay thats connected to the neutral switch and everything has a indicator lamp that takes a wire.  All of this bullshit is going so I am working on a simplified wiring diagram.  I will post that after I am done with it so the rest of the world does not have to suffer.
