Classified Virago

Classified Moto’s John Ryland latest project.


Started from a 1982 Yamaha Virago 920, the fork is from a 2009 Yamaha YZF R6-R  and the rear swingarm is from a 2008 YZF R6-S with a Triumph Daytona adjustable shock.


And yes, its a Benelli tank.

The project
...I know, its very bad, this is why I usually dont make draws



Start making the brass pieces



Unfortunately Ive lost some photos of the "making of"... 
anyway the procedure was basically the same of the "manettinodellabenza": file, sandpaper and polish

This is the finished choke lever
(Ive made some changes from the initial draw...)


And the idle control knob





New 7075 aluminium engine supports
