MARK VICTORY YOU THE REAL. YOU PUTTED WHOLE MOTORCYCLE BACK TOGETHER SUCCESS. BUT DO SOMETIME THE SNAKE GO TO YOUR HOUSE THERE? I THINK I FEEL THE STRESS ALWAYS WORRY IF THE SNAKE IS HIDING CLOSE TO THE ME.
Hey up. mark its coming too, looking good, and that gold chain looks mint, think you've done the right thing there mate, and gold chains look cool anyway, ask Mr T, haha.. keep on keeping on Mark cheers....😁🔧🍺👍👍👍👍
Hi Mark. Horns probably not dodgy should have an adjustment screw on the rear. Had the same problem with the horn on my Suzuki TC 90. Bike is looking well nice.
Great job Mark it's looking great, nearly there mate. As a side note that may save you a few dollars. I use a produce called "Panel wipe" it's produced for the automotive paint trade and costs a lot less. To give you an idea, degreasing wipe from my local car accessory store is £3.75 per litre, while Panel wipe is £4.50 for 5 litres and its exactly the same stuff. As they say every little helps. Take care Mate
I know this is a “budget build”, but I’d recommend spending another $60 on a knockoff LED “day-maker” headlight. I put one a on my 74’ Honda CB550 and it is so much brighter and safer riding at night. You can use the existing housing with the new lamp and it is pretty much plug and play. The halogen just wasn’t cutting it for me. The bike looks fantastic by the way.
Loving ya vid yet again. Looks great. A bit of silicon spray on thd wrap will keep it white if you want it to stay clean. The end is in sight mate. Congrats. Looking forward to the next couple of vids as you finish it! 🙂
Great job so far mate, looking good, go a 3 month or 6 month rego and keep it budget. Are you going to paint the wrap clamps black? And silicon spray the wrap, I think the white wrap will work great with the Saturn black.
Love your videos, i have a virago 250 myself that im working on. I wondered if you perhaps have a link for the golden chain you bhought of ebay? Trying to keep my build abit budget too and cant seem to find any golden chains under 150$. Cheers from northen Sweden :)
Hi mark been meaning to ask have you replaced the all the fuel lines or planning to ? Another great video the bikes coming along nicely looking bloody good aswell
Damn Mark, you are almost finished. I just shared your channel on my last video and I am trying to catch up to. I know its not a race but it would be cool if I could be done around you so we can compare!
I am even worst than you with memorising the wiring (even with photos) .., the way I have to combat it is : I buy a roll of white electrical tape and a permanent marker , and I put a 1 inch long TAG on both end of a wire that I am about to seperate and mark then both 'A; the the next ' , then 'C' etc 'B' It is easy when you see both tags marked "A" and simply join those together. PS: when I make the tag, - I actually write the letter 'A' with the permanent texta marker on the electrical tape while it's still on the roll. - I mark the 1st 'A' at the end , and a 2nd letter 'A' two inches away from the 1st letter 'A'[ , - Next I cut the tape just after the 2nd letter 'A' (to end up with a 2 inch long length , with the letter A written at both ends ..., - then I place the cable end that I just separated on the halfway point (on the sticky side) and fold the two ends to each other. - I repeat this procedure for the other end of the seperated cable.
Garth Howe Sorry. Late at night, and I was just watching the video with no sound and was skipping to the part where he was putting the wrap on. My bad. But thank you.
As you were wrapping from that end I couldn't help but think I hope it reaches.

I herd if you go to Bunnings Steve smith and David Warner will be doing a sale on sand paper..
most horns have a small screw that you can use to adjust them with....18:19 its the small star screw with a lock nut.
Yeah tried it but once it died it was over! :-)
Mate I cant believe how good your getting at this spay painting lark.........you wield that can around like a pro !!!!
Good effort Mark, felt your pain when that wrap ended up short, twice!
I admire your patience. The bike is looks great.
Hey up. mark its coming too, looking good, and that gold chain looks mint, think you've done the right thing there mate, and gold chains look cool anyway, ask Mr T, haha.. keep on keeping on Mark cheers....😁🔧🍺👍👍👍👍
Gold chain is a winner mate! Toot-toot!
The bike is looking great. You should be really proud of all your efforts. Keep on keeping on. Alex England.
It's really looking good Mark. Nice to see it all coming together ... the end is in sight!

I’ve always found when using exhaust wrap putting it in water first helps it stay wrapped on longer!
The bike is looking fantastic,looking forward to seeing it finished 😎👍
The bike is looking great. Love the gold chain!
Bike is looking awesome!! Maybe paint those clamps black?
Came back and hit the like button. Keep forgetting. Sorry, mate. Bike's looking great. Can't wait for the road test.
That wrap looks so cool....
Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Great video Mark. Yeah that first horn sounded like a kids toy...lol. Next week is going to be a fun one to see for sure. Keep on Keep"n on
Loving ya vid yet again. Looks great. A bit of silicon spray on thd wrap will keep it white if you want it to stay clean. The end is in sight mate. Congrats. Looking forward to the next couple of vids as you finish it! 🙂
i like the wrap look , does it keep the heat down ?
i recon the exaust bloke that told me not to wrap might be a bit strange
Great job so far mate, looking good, go a 3 month or 6 month rego and keep it budget. Are you going to paint the wrap clamps black?
And silicon spray the wrap, I think the white wrap will work great with the Saturn black.
How do you replace the overflow or drain hose on virago 250
Just a thought, maybe use the extra exhaust wrap on the real rear header pipe.
Bike looks surprisingly good, top job young fella. 👍👍👍
Great job it looks terrific! :-)
Can you give the link for flash lights?
Why didn’t you get black wrap!
Looking great! Almost there :)
Gut feelings - good enough!

Hi mark been meaning to ask have you replaced the all the fuel lines or planning to ? Another great video the bikes coming along nicely looking bloody good aswell
No... if they don’t leak and look fine I’m leaving them! :-)
Ah ok just make sure you have those extinguishers handy haha
Looking good...
Damn Mark, you are almost finished. I just shared your channel on my last video and I am trying to catch up to. I know its not a race but it would be cool if I could be done around you so we can compare!
heat wrap, I refer to the sign above the workbench!
; )
yay finished! looking great mate
well almost
LOL Mark the horn. Sounded pretty ordinary
I am even worst than you with memorising the wiring (even with photos) .., the way I have to combat it is :
I buy a roll of white electrical tape and a permanent marker , and I put a 1 inch long TAG on both end of a wire that I am about to seperate and mark then both 'A; the the next ' , then 'C' etc 'B'
It is easy when you see both tags marked "A" and simply join those together.
PS: when I make the tag,
- I actually write the letter 'A' with the permanent texta marker on the electrical tape while it's still on the roll.
- I mark the 1st 'A' at the end , and a 2nd letter 'A' two inches away from the 1st letter 'A'[ ,
- Next I cut the tape just after the 2nd letter 'A' (to end up with a 2 inch long length , with the letter A written at both ends ...,
- then I place the cable end that I just separated on the halfway point (on the sticky side) and fold the two ends to each other.
- I repeat this procedure for the other end of the seperated cable.
horn has an adjustment screw.
Dude I have a digital copy of the manuals if you want it?
Mark painting.. "In summing up it's the constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe and, no that's it, it's the vibe."
Hey mark one question, are the prices on those tables in USD or AUD ?
AUD :-)
I'm sure you're going to do this, but it'll be interesting to know how much money was spent fixing the bike up.
Didn't you watch the video? Mark showed the tally so far.. just shy of $2000 Australian so far. He will definitely show the totals at the end.
Garth Howe
Sorry. Late at night, and I was just watching the video with no sound and was skipping to the part where he was putting the wrap on. My bad. But thank you.
LOL ... no problem, it was just one of those questions where I tilted my head and said "What?"
Garth Howe
xD Haha. And I appreciate you for being nice about the way you brought it up. Woohoo! :)
dont see a bull bar!
