    Awesome series!! I bought myself a 1994 Virago 535 and am fixing it up. I don’t have any mechanical experience so these videos are very helpful. Cheers from the USA!

    Those handlebars you installed are 100x nicer than stock. What a nice look.

      Cheers mate! They were comfy too!

    Quick tip on fast removal of zip ties - rather than trying to cut them and potentially scratching or cutting into the material they are hugging - take a set of pliers, grip the raised square BOX that is the Zip Tie lock and give it a firm twist right or left ... the Zip Tie will pop and you're done without any damage to anything.

    @RM2k3-GRP 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's pretty cool, even 'tho I dig the stock "horn" shaped Virago handlebar a lot... that's one of the few things I didn't modify on my 535 back in the days.

    • @iRidetas
      @iRidetas  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ghost Rider Production we did like the standard bars but had to change them in the spirit if full custom!!

    • @RM2k3-GRP
      @RM2k3-GRP 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah, I can understand that. this Daytona handlebar is still pretty awesome

    • @iRidetas

  • @OldManTony
    @OldManTony 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It sounds pretty good for a 250. Bars are much better than the old ones.

    I'm enjoying your customization I'm following from the beginning your work that is doing in the Virago 250, you could increase the tank will help to keep expecting from bobber, I did this in my Kansas 250 was very good.

    • @iRidetas
      @iRidetas  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Charlie Darwin hey mate thanks! When you say that did you do a tank lift?? Id be real intetested to know how you did that please cause its on the list of mods to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    • @iRidetas
      @iRidetas  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +FatBoy740 🤣🤣🤣 lol it can be tough i find starting with a registered bike and doing baby steps so it stays on the road. Unregisteted bikes i havent had a lot of luck with for that reason. Do it. I enjoy customising them almost as much as riding them!

    • @iRidetas
