- THE CARAGO II -

THIS BIKE BEGAN AS A 1982 XV750—A VIRAGO
NOT AN EVERYDAY CANDIDATE FOR A CUSTOM BUILD
BUT CHALLENGES LIKE THIS KEEP US UP AT NIGHT
EVERYTHING ON THE BIKE WAS DISMANTLED & INSPECTED
AND A LOT OF CLEANING WAS DONE TO THE ENTIRE BIKE
THE 750 MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A 920 MOTOR
!! THIS THING SERIOUSLY ROARS NOW !!
CERTAIN ORIGINAL COMPONENTS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE SO THEY WERE RETAINED
THE ENGINE HAS VERY LOW MILES AND SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ABUSE SO IT HAS BEEN LEFT ESSENTUALLY STOCK ALTHOUGH INHERANT VIRAGO ISSUES WITH CARBURETION HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND REMEDIED WITH A NEW INTAKE SYSTEM & CARB SET-UP
A CUSTOM MADE REAR SECTION WAS FABRICATED AND MATED TO A SUPER RARE BENELLI-RIVERSIDE MOJAVE TAIL SECTION THAT WAS MEDIA BLASTED & POWDER COATED GLOSS BLACK I WAS ALSO LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND AN ORIGINAL N.O.S. MOJAVE SEAT FOR THIS BUILD
A BENELLI-RIVERSIDE MOJAVE TANK WAS UTILIZED AFTER IT WAS ACID BATHED-MEDIA BLASTED HAD A NEW BUNG WELDED IN AND THEN POWDER COATED HIGH GLOSS BLACK
- WE TOPPED IT OFF WITH SOME N.O.S. YAMAHA TUNING FORK LOGOS FOR A NICE FINISHED LOOK -
WE USED SOME MODIFIED & POWDER COATED LOADED GUN REAR SETS FOR SHIFTING & BRAKES
CNC MACHINED CLIP-ONS HANDLE THE STEERING
A WISE-GUYS 2 INTO 1 INTAKE IS MATED TO A MIKUNI TM FLAT SLIDE CARB
A CUSTOM MADE 2 INTO 1 EXHAUST IS MATED TO A KERKER CAN MUFFLER
BRAND NEW GRIPPY RUBBER WAS MOUNTED ON THE CAST WHEELS AFTER THEY WERE DISMANTLED SAND BLASTED & POWDER COATED GLOSS BLACK
A LOT OF CUSTOM MADE PARTS WERE FABRICATED & INSTALLED
THE BIKE HAS MANY NEW PARTS INSTALLED AS WELL
- NEW BRAKE SHOES & PADS
- NEW BLINKERS
- NEW CABLES
- NEW GRIPS
- NEW TIRES
- PLUS A WHOLE NEW ATTITUDE -
