    Suggestions on a good Virago Site? Got my $230 Virago tonight!

    Got a heck of deal on an 82' 920 Virago in complete condition. Needs lots of work but all the parts are there anyhow. Not sure if I should wash her up and double/triple my cash quickly or fix her up to riding condition. Any good sites you guys would recommend for me?

            Here's something to think about.

              Those are OEM monoshock. Correct? The next issue of Motorcycle Classics promises an article about building a Virago cafe racer.

              Those two bikes are just lovely!

                Had the bike just 6 days and turned it around. Apparently the early models had starter issues bad enough to drive a man to drink and I don't need headaches or morning hangover, it's hard enough keeping my other bikes going! The new owner is happy to tackle it and I made $400 profit so all is good
