Hi, I'm trying to determine which National Cycle flyscreen windshield will fit my 1981 Virago 750. Their site lists no model available for this year Virago,...
i was going to swap forks from 85 to my 83 but the tubes were a few mm different in diameter,the 85 was larger and the spacing is also different it is wider on...
Hey. I'm rebuilding my 82 750. During a routine repair a while back the threads on my rear spark plug port got cross - threaded. While the head is off I figure...
You could try a time-sert if you can find one big enough. It's kinda like a heli-coil, but it's like a barrel that you thread down in there and it locks in...
While you have the head off you might think about the time sert or take it to a local machine shop and have it welded up and rethread it. If that doesn't...
I have used helicoils many many times for sparkplug repairs and never had one fail,unless you asked Gov. Arnie to tighten your plugs,(btw, drilling is not...
I have put a Vmax handlebar on my 1100. The riding position of the handlebar is much better; only, the original angle of the side mirrors is now facing in...
JMB, Take the head to a machine shop and let them install the Helicoil. These thread repairs are brilliant and as the spring thread replacement is stronger...
once you have the head off, try to take a a tap and run it through from the piston side. If the threads are only slightly damaged, then it might be good...
check the bore size of the virago master(it's either 5/8" or 14mm, some are 16mm). try using the Vmax master(if you have it),calipers are similar on a early...
I put drag bars on my 920, kept the master cylinder and put some bar end mirrors on instead. Could do that or find some universal clamp on ones, probably...
... I am sold on Sta-Bil. The red stuff is amazing. I got it at Wal-mart for about $8/quart. I just fired up my old Trans Am after sitting for 7 years! I used...
Thanks for the responses. The Vmax master cylinder is fine but now need something for the clutch lever. Vmax is hydraulic. Any ideas for a good replacement...

I have a Cobra handheld CB hooked up on my V*1100. I use an external antenna that's mounted off of my luggage rack. There's a lot of places my T-Mobile...
Well, the principles are much the same. You say you have a Cobra 'handheld' CB? Is that powered off of your bike, or does it run off or batter power? Do you...
I am still only using batteries because I'm too lazy to install the cig lighter and fight with the extra electrical wiring. The Cobra has a mounting plate that...
Hi Guys, I have an 1993 XV1100. When I park the bike in the garage after work and lower the door. There is soon a strong smell of gas. I have had a look around...
I put a Maxrad mirror mount on the grab bar on my bike. I drilled 3 holes and used sheet metal screws then put the pad back on with the bracket between them. i...
-I've done it, but I'll be darned if I can remember the details! I helped the local club with some walk a thons and such back in the late 90's, wiring my 2m...
Hey. Anyone know a source of cheap OEM pipes for an 82 xv750? Perhaps have some spares lying around I could buy? I'm looking for the dual pipes that lie on...
There's no OEM pipes that fit what you're asking. The OEM's were megaphone's. MAC makes some bolt on's that will switch you to the look you want. I've seen...
