Another Hive motorcycle is out of the Two Car Garage! I spent 1.5 years tearing down, customizing, fabricating, then rebuilding this 1983 Yamaha Virago 920 (xv920). You'll see me change haircuts, change glasses, and change clothing layers as the seasons pass and the bike progresses. While this was being built I changed jobs and had my second child!

I have never cared for or understood the cult following of the Virago. That being said, this is probably the coolest cafe builds I’ve ever seen. Great looking bike. Very tastefully designed.

I love it! I've always been inspired by these virago builds, mine has unfortunately been sitting for some time and I couldn't find time or motivation to keep working on it. But watching your video is giving me powerful inspiration to bring my project back to life. Thank you for your build!

I'm glad you added footage of you riding that thing, it would have been such an anti climax if we didn't get to see that. I hate when people don't add that in the end. 😄

Beautiful work!! 👏🏽👏🏽 I have dual mikunis VM34 but is being a pain in the aS$ for tunning the right way.. I bought the mikuni OZ single carb manifold and I will try it this weekend, but what Jet size would you recommend? Biggest Jet i have on hand right now is a 220. Let me know what do you recommend me, Thanks.

I custom make my cables. If you don't want to invest in the tools, give motion pro a call and they can make custom cables for you

The white swing arm has got to go. That Virago is one of the nicest I have seen. Well done on everything. It is truly beautiful....except that white.....

@two-cargarage 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your opinion! I love the swingarm, I think it sets it apart. But I agree that it's certainly not for everyone.

@R3d1100f 2 ай бұрын

@@two-cargarage No doubts... definitely not trying to criticize the build. It is amazing and gives a ton of inspiration, especially to the home builder. I hope my CB750s come out even half as good as this Virago did, if so, I would be pleased as pie.
