| I have been doing house repairs and going to work, neglecting the bike project lately. But yesterday I did my first try at painting flames on a gray painted board, and it will look so cool on the bike. I made a stencil from cutting the flames out in cardboard, and laying it on top of the board, and spraying the inside edges of the stencil. It made a bit of fuzzy edges, because it floated a bit of the surface. When I do it on the tank, it will be done in either masking paper, or free hand masking with 3mm tape. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_0003](https://2img.net/h/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MgjTL-QLidA/VHq-Ge_O8RI/AAAAAAAACG0/PesfGB7aHIg/s2048-no/IMG_0003.JPG) | |

| I have made a little bit of progress with the bike. Removed the seat, sissybar, headlight, bars and instrumentation, and made a mockup of some 16" ape hangers. I also used some wood to see how it would look lowered. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_0013](https://2img.net/h/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6h-82SYici8/VOWrIh_ayaI/AAAAAAAACUo/2ZvdkRxSMlg/s2048-no/IMG_0013.JPG) ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_0015](https://2img.net/h/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Iuaxt8KqGaA/VOWrKsNITVI/AAAAAAAACU4/Eyfx5PuBg1E/s2048-no/IMG_0015.JPG) | |

| Good one Yam Today I picked up the grinder and cut the rear frame from the bike, and chopped the seat down to a solo seat. I also flipped the rises to push the handle bars a bit forward, allowing them to have more angle towards the rear. Still not sure about the handle bars, and might end up welding something together myself. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1070](https://2img.net/h/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OZWvZHwGm9M/VRAJzlOVzzI/AAAAAAAACZk/n9E2Vr1YTf4/s2048-no/IMG_1070.JPG) | |

| I have started on the new intake manifold today, after deciding it would be too expensive to get a finished one. Even though fiberglass is not the best material to use because of the heat from the heads, I think it will work fine if it is isolated from having direct contact with the heads. I started by taking some pipe foam insulation, and used some alupex pipe inside to keep the shape, which was made by trial and error. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1073](https://2img.net/h/lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MwqnKTMcjhE/VREimgE7FII/AAAAAAAACZ4/7I4NseX9rkU/s2048-no/IMG_1073.JPG) Then it was wrapped with alu foil, and painted with a release agent. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1075](https://2img.net/h/lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5NgWAqWDdUI/VREinUYMFVI/AAAAAAAACaA/3YqYONcAYGE/s2048-no/IMG_1075.JPG) One layer of fiberglass was put on, and two mounting plates made. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1077](https://2img.net/h/lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_RbryzShuto/VREiokW7s4I/AAAAAAAACaI/7G3c7XjQmgA/s2048-no/IMG_1077.JPG) The foam was removed and I started the fitting process. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1078](https://2img.net/h/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TwFrekyRiAo/VRGcCDRi6TI/AAAAAAAACag/fWab0y5PYBM/s2048-no/IMG_1078.JPG) This is roughly how it will end up looking when the two pipes are joined together. ![Another Virago based project. - Page 2 IMG_1079](https://2img.net/h/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-cov187ppHU0/VRGcDIOSlVI/AAAAAAAACao/hzubSASQfmg/s2048-no/IMG_1079.JPG) The carburator will be fitted on the left side, because the front head is slightly to the right, making more room for the carb. | |

| Thx guys. The position of the fender is not final yet, as I need to raise it to show the same amount of tire all around, and mount the front fender, to have both fenders stopping at the same place on the tire. I just didn't want to start cutting before I was sure what to do. I'm also not sure if I should extend the fender braces up in the air, to make a sort of useless sissybar It make look and old school together with the ape hangers. | |
