I have 1983 Yamaha Midnight Virago (XV920) that I found on the Internet in 2000. It was a basket case - in boxes - that I got for free. The previous owner was going through a divorce and his wife told him to get rid of it before she did.
It sat in my garage for about a year. Eventually I rebuilt the top half and got it running. It had 21k miles on it when I got it. Now it has 34k.
Well, the exhaust collector finally rotted out and now it's time for a new exhaust. I could only find a couple manufacturers that create an exhaust for it and they're pretty ugly. I guess I'll build my own. I took a welding class this past fall, so I might as well put what I learned to good use.
Also, since the seat covering is shot, I picked up some new material to recover it. I'll post my progress with pictures for those interested.
