A couple other things. Comments are turned off everywhere for a reason.
bullshit/fake channels commented about "cooperating", fuck 'em.
other comments were requests which I'm not going to fulfill so there is no point.
No, I'm not making a carb cleaning, oil changing, wheel removing video, there's a ton already. Nor will I make a barebone wiring or dash/gauge elimination video. Some of us bought a Virago because that's what we like, not because that's all we could afford.
If you want to convert yours into a Honda Rebel 500 or XV950 Bolt lookalike with LED lamps, digital speedo and single seat, knock yourself out. But I'm not assisting you in that.
I'd like to focus on stuff you wouldn't know or think of otherwise.
