Would these fit a virago 1100 1997?😊

What motorcycle are the wheels from? Thanks

Nice job with the custom pieces! Do you have any suggestion what i can do for my clutch cable level thread housing if i dont have all the machinery to fab a longer thread like you did?

That’s a great video I just got the same bike Would you do another custom stem setup like that for a small $ I’d appreciate the help

Try foot pegs, you will break your ankles on the front wheel!

13:39 There's an easier way to find the centers. Measure from the outside of one hole to the inside of the other. That's a direct measurement of the center-to-center points.

Man, It's cool to see the ole school 5hp instead of the ohv

I'm just about done and ready to get the 212cc mounted.... My trike seems to be a little shorter than most. So I think I'll have to put the engine above the axle because I really don't want to place it directly behind it.... Question... Have you ever experienced the torque converter setup? I raced go-karts from 84-92 and I never liked the slow take off of the centrifugal clutch (back then it was the 13T horseman)

So I just need a lathe, a press brake and a TIG welder and I can build a virago. Excellent

Great work. I always wanted to do an upgrade like this but I thought that the upper clamps would be too close to the fuel tank, limiting the turn radius. Did you find this?

Can you do the same for me as well ?

Wow youtube algorithm, saw the double barrel kit and was thinking the same thing pretty much. Was thinking of maybe vertical but horizontal would be easier without the curves. . And i was thinking so many 😅

Stock Carbs on the Virago are absolute garbage and a complete nightmare to work on (lots of small ports that clog, impossible to tune well). I spent two years diagnosing mine for various problems and finally just replaced them with a 750/920 Mikuni VM34 carb kit from Niche Cycle Supply. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING. It fired right up without any issues and required only minor tuning.

where did you find the main stove at? I typially see the 55 gallon stove conversions and they won't last as long.

Wimpy, you knocked it out of the ballpark. Great work, simplicity displayed in a great design.

This is huge! Great for guys wanting to save money. Would you mind sending me the dimensions so i can take my r6 stem to a machine shop?

Im doing the same thing , but im using forks from honda vtr1000 but i have to extend the steering stem its short to do it like you

How much did it cost you in total to create.

I l8ved 3 years full time in a Skoolie and a cool guy boiler welder, made me a heat exchanger for my fireplace, like yours. Wow! 30% more heat oit and faster too.

Do yourself a favor and try to find a barrel with the removable top. They are usually alot thicker than the standard oil drum that everyone uses and will last you alot longer trust me. And another plus is you can always just remove the top (or front if you mount your door there) to remove and cleanout all the ashes and it's easier to install the grate instead of trying to fit it thru the door!

About to start a swap on my 250 using crf450 trees and legs thanks for the encouragement

Masterpiece, everything you do is just pure engineering 👏🏻

what size is the tube that goes over the ram?

a lot of work to paint black the engine , 😢😢

Very cool.

R6 shock is made for swing arm with linkage. Spring does not match the specs for XV. Better choice would be something from KTM or Ducati with the same swing arm to shock articulation like the XV. I think some of Japanese bikes have the shocks for cantilever swing arms too. Your test after fitting shows the spring is way too hard.and has to be replaced.

Hi, what size and rim are those tires? Thank you

Where did you get the rims and tires from?

The front and rear rim of what motorcycle is it model and year?

You stopped making videos what happened?

How would you remove carbon build-up inside the heat exchanger?

so many XV projects that seem abandoned :( another one here? I hope not.

Cool build so far, and thank you for the carb explanation details on troubleshooting and how they work in general. I need to learn this stuff. Look forward to your future videos!

Cant believe how good that fits. So cool that it worked out so well. Recycling ftw!

Any chance I could get you to whip up another one of those adapters?

🙃 'promo sm'

Like this heater exchanger, but I would add interlinked copper water pipes, running down the centres of each of the 9 air pipes or tubes, with drilled spacer disc's added welded to the copper water pipes. So heated air can still pass through these air pipes or tubes, while helping to heat up the water running through the newly installed copper water pipes. With these copper water pipes running along the bottom line of air pipes or tubes from right to left. With "U" shaped return water pipes at the front too, which provide an easy flow of water going through the heating water pipes. Then going up one level to the second line of air pipes or tubes, this time running left to right, again with more "U" shaped return water pipes. Lastly going up one more level to the third line of air pipes or tubes, this time running right to left. Finishing at the top with a hot water outlet pipe, to take the heated water away, to radiator or radiators and/or to an insulated hot water storage tank too. With just adding a water pump, which pumps the cold water through the heater exchanger new water heating pipes, at a necessary speed or rate of flow too. Maybe be adding a cold water feeder tank, so the system always has enough water in the water pipes too, also using a rainwater capture and recycling system on the workshop roof, plus large underground water storage tank. Then you could have both hot and cold running water in the workshop, which is totally off-grid as it were too! Just a suggestion, it would be something I would look at doing, for building a similar hot air and hot water heat exchanger, for a combination garage and workshop, plus greenhouse and potting shed too.

Do you have the measurement data for the shock adapter? Thanks for the video btw!

Good labeling tip

🤗🙋✌️🇵🇭❤️🤗👍

Do you sell these shock adapters?

Really like that seat bracket. What drove the decision to switch to r6 shock instead of keeping it stock? purely cosmetic or is there a performance issue...?

oh jeeze, thats pretty neat. Jeeze well great job there!

That’s is pretty kool!!!

That's awesome been working on a super heat exchanger!!!

what tank is it?

What swingarm have you used ?

Its only running on 1 cylinder my friend

Hey Wimpy any chance you could share the measurements for the r6 rear shock conversion parts

nice job ,How much heat is being push out & temperature
