Done a great job, bit late to the party as this video is 7 years old but im glad i stumbled upon it. I have similar plans for my 1992 virago. . The stock seat and sissy bar had to go though no cutting frame as i wanted the passenger option , looks so much better slimming down the rear end and fitting new bars. I will do a few hundred miles first before commiting to more work,fingers crossed no problems. 👍

I think the Virago xv750 is great as it was made, But if your going to make changes to it this is the way to do it.
