Great find! We'd never find something like that in Canada. There are just so many more bikes in the US that increase the chances of finding a bike like this. I just finished restoring a 1984 1000 and I have documented the whole thing. I also have about 50 repair videos that cover a lot of the service stuff like valve adjustment, carb repair & setup and a bunch of other things. Might help you out if you're not familiar with the Virago. Hope you enjoy the bike - they're a legend.
Virgos are awesome a really underrated bike. I prefer the 1100s myself. There are many customization possibilities with the Virago that many people seem to overlook. I had 10 inch risers and a drag bar on mine it looked awesome.
Nice find! What you need to do is balance those carbs with balancr guages then do a valve adjustment it need those 2 crucial services done look up videos on how to balance virago carbs then afterthe valve adjustment it needs to be ridden to build proper compression I have an 88 xv750 it changed the bike for me!

I want to do something similar I think it would look good, and I wish mine was an 1100
