Holy shit dude! This bike is stunning! Totally modern looking yet still looks like a Virago. Yamaha needs to hire you to redesign a Virago so they can bring it back. V-Stars are shit IMO.
Man this bike is so beautiful. Congratulations and respects for a great job. I just got as heritage Yamaha Virago VX750 after my beloved father. You inspired me to work on it and make it legendary! Regards from Poland
thnx mate;) Sometimes it was me staring for hours at the bike until i had an idea what i wanted to do with the bike. A long process but it was worth it.
Very best bike I have ever owned and wish I still had was my 1990 1100 Virago. I had some forward controls made for it and it was perfect. {a few other cosmetic things of course}. You are an amazing artist, thanks for sharing.
You just gave me hope! I recently bought an XV750 '82 that was modified to bobber, unfortunately, the project was not finished by the previous owner. So after watching your video, I finally found what I wanted to do with the bike. Thank you so much!
@@otzie3299 Hey Boss, what seat and side panel is that (Side panel says Yamaha), where did you get your fenders and rear light combos as well? I REALLY, really like the flair you have on this build and am remodeling a 85 virago 1000cc
Gorgeus design, beautiful work and a great outcome effect. Respect bro for your effort. I plan to buy a virago 1100 at the end of this season and make the visual part to follow me style too. Your project from what I saw so far on youtube is the best matching to mine one :) Was a pleasure to view it. Cheers man!
i also made a lot of changes to a 1995 vn 800. made my own seat in very similar fashion . you did much better on finish of upholstery. but it is so comfortable now.
Unusual model 1985 XV750 SE ? first generation engine ( old style starter )carbs and ignition in twin shock chassis . Next model had different carbs and starter . very nice project bike , looks amazing , a lot of hard work .
Jep its a xv700. They were built along with the xv1000 model. In 1984 and 1985. The xv1000 had the new starter style but the 700 kept the gen 1 system. The gen 2 starter style engine was changed in 1986 on the xv700.
@@otzie3299 yes its not often seen , a rare bike . you make a great job with the rebuild . i have factory standard 1981 XV 750 SE and XV 750 (first gen ) hard tail frame chopper . keep them living :-)
Wow! Heel heel heel knap gedaan. Alsof ie zo uit de fabriek komt. Grappig dat dit nu pas in mijn overzicht naar voren komt. Typisch youtube. Enige dat ik me afvroeg is hoe je de achterbrug opnieuw hebt gemaakt. Heb je dit zelf gelast? Persoonlijk vind ik frame aanpassingen griezelig. Zou me altijd afvragen of het stevig genoeg is om iemand achterop mee te laten rijden (maar ik heb geen verstand van lassen en sterkte). Ben benieuwd of je een volgend project in gedachten hebt.
Haha dankjewel, ja heb dit zelf gelast. In eerste instantie wilde ik het zelf niet wagen maar had me zelf overtuigd dat ik het iniedergeval wil proberen. Dus had een cursus lassen gevolgd en in dat proces de achterbrug gedaan. Uiteraard heb ik een ander project in gedachten, echter wil ik daarvoor de ruimte hebben. Momenteel ben ik wel bezig met een tweede viragoblok aan het restaureren. Puur omdat het te leuk is om ermee bezig te zijn:)
Hi, compliments for your great work, i should made a bobber for me on base virago. I watched many videos and this is one of the better for idea to restailing virago. If i Will bay a virago i write you for questons 😊
Hi Otzie, your bobber looks great! Rebuilding a XV1100 myself and got really inspired. Can I ask what rear fender and licence plate sidemount did you use? Drive safe!
Thnx mate! It's a harley ( sportster I think) bare custom rear fender, i cant seem to find the supplier of the side mount because the company doesn't exist anymore. I bought it from ebay and the build was made for the virago. You could try looking around while trying search terms on ebay;) good luck!
This is EXACTLY what I have been picturing in my mind to do to mine!! Do you happen to have a picture of the wiring diagram you made up yourself? Unfortunately I need to make a harness from scratch due to this bike being hack job.
@@pathfinder112 thnx mate;) i don't have the plans for it just did it on the go and made it from scratch. But the schoks are 290 I think. And it also depend on how high you mount the rear fender. The height is equivalent to the height of a Honda rebel
@@otzie3299 So cool, thank you mate! Such a great work with the seat too, any advice for this, once you've melted the harleys seat's base onto the virago, how do you reattach the foam/seat to it? You're the only person that managed this trick according to my research, can you tell us a bit more about this one, please? Thank you again mate,
Hey otzie je bobber is echt dik geworden man ! Hoeveel cc is die van jou ? En hoe rijd ie op de snelweg met touren ? Genoeg power ook ? Ik rij zelf een suzuki gsxr 600 maar ben laatste tijden echt aan het kijken naar bobbers voor een eigen Future project.
Tnx! het is een 700cc. als je meer snelweg wilt gaan rijden dan is een 920/1000/1100 een beter plan. Het tourgebied ligt iets lager wat het iets aangenamer maakt tijdens het rijden. Qua power zijn ze allemaal gelijk rond de 60 pk. Wil je op een chopper veel snelweg rijden dan zou ik toch naar iets anders kijken rond de 1100 of 1400 cc of met een windscherm. Maar goed dan spreek ik over comfort. Als je voor een projectbike gaat is dat meestal het laatste waar je naar zal kijken;) Ik zou dan je gsxr behouden als je comfortbike. Doe ik ook met fjr1300 en bandit 650. Daarnaast kan je genieten van je project.
@@jjbuildman zit momenteel in een verhuizing. zal spoedig nagaan waar ik de draadschema heb gelaten. In principe is het gebaseerd op de barebone wire diagram op viragotech.com mocht je iets snel nodig hebben :)

WOW!. best virago rehab i've seen yet. all details are signifigant down to keeping the center stand and the pin stripes. very nice job.
thnx mate;) Sometimes it was me staring for hours at the bike until i had an idea what i wanted to do with the bike. A long process but it was worth it.
It definitely has great merit, and as another has said already, significant prowess for a custom of it's nature. Thanks for sharing your handiwork.
one of the best looking custom Virago's out there... what a beauty!

Thanx!

What model of Harley seat did you start with?! Love the fitment!
smart kid!
awesome.I have 750 too,hope to see more video.
Will do! Its just a bit to cold and snowing at the moment in Holland. So hopefully it will be over soon.
Hi, compliments for your great work, i should made a bobber for me on base virago. I watched many videos and this is one of the better for idea to restailing virago. If i Will bay a virago i write you for questons 😊
Did you make the seat? What brand shocks are those?
Hi Otzie, may l learn the brand of your rear shock absorber ?
Очень круто 👍
Amazing bro, i got a virago 1100cc original style and i want to know if i can copy your style?
The speedometer functions all working? Which fuel sensor do you used
Works great. I made my own fuelsensor using the old base of the ntc sensor combining a scooter resistor floater
Hi Otzie, your bobber looks great! Rebuilding a XV1100 myself and got really inspired. Can I ask what rear fender and licence plate sidemount did you use?

Gdzie dostać taki tylny błotnik?
Great looks of a bike!!I d like to know where I can find a similar clock...
the clock I bought from Aliexpress. I then used the electronics from it in combination with 3d printed parts to make the final clock assembly
Love the rear fender stud, how did you do them? Would you still have the plans for them by any chance ;)?
Also, what is the length of the new rear shocks? I'm such a fan!

Love the bike brother, have a similar one but 1100. Can you upload some driving clips maybe? And what exhaust is that?
Will do mate, but its freezing around this time of the year..So ill post something around march;) anyway, Its a Bos exhaust
Turning your living room into a workshop, must be nice being single.
Which rear fender did you use men?
Harley sportster fender ;)
@@otzie3299 great, planning on doing that mod, it looks great
What make & length are the piggy shocks, much improvement over the others?
RFY 290mm, there a bit to stiff for my taste.. but its good enough
@@otzie3299 Better than hardtailing it 😁😉!! Good work Otzie!
@@rotay4900 You got that right mate ;) Thnx

Do you have a wiring schematic for your build? Parts list? I'd like to semi replicate the results.
