This is a nice kit to build, although the decals were very brittle. Thanks to Thomas at "Building on a Budget Models". I used his build video of the Virago kit as a reference for my build. Here's a link to that video:

Wow, the rider really makes the bike come alive. You did a perfect factory color too! Excellent job.

Except for the decals it was a good build. 😀 There are few build videos on KZread that I checked out before doing mine.
Great build, Steve! Such a fitting tribute to Chris. Kudos on your efforts.

Thanks Peter, this kit came to mind as soon as I'd heard of his passing.
That turned out great Steve! Your figure painting is top notch👍. Chris would have loved it.

I agree, you don't often see this kit with the figure.
Very nice. Also now subbed to "Building on a Budget Models" as he has some very cool builds there, so thanks for that tip.

Glad to hear you found his channel. Have a great week.
Great job on the bike and the rider! I just finished the bike, and mine didn't have the forward foot pegs - very cool. And I couldn't get that kickstand to work/stay. Really nice work! 👍👍

Thanks John, I just checked out your video, I used the main kickstand and glued it in place to hold the bike upright with the rider on it. The forward footpegs came included with the rider figure and the baggage.
Turned out real nice Steve, bike and figure mate👍
