- THE CARAGO -

THIS BIKE WAS A NEW ADVENTURE FOR US
THE PROSPECT OF TAKING A VIRAGO AND MAKING IT SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAS CHALLENGING
THE NAME CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF THIS CHALLENGE
A VIRAGO DONE IN A CAFE STYLE HENCE "THE CARAGO"
A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE AND A COMPLETELY NEW REAR SECTION WAS FABRICATED
WE COUPLED THAT WITH A FIBERGLASS SEAT PAN & PAD FROM OUR FRIENDS A HOT WING GLASS
THEN ALL THE PIECES WERE SAND BLASTED & POWDER COATED A RICH GLOSS BLACK
WE USED AN N.O.S. 60'S ERA BENELLI TANK FROM A MONTGOMERY WARD'S MOJAVE
WE HAD WISE GUYS INSTALL A WELD IN VENTED BUNG ON THE TANK THEN THIS TOO WAS POWDER COATED GLOSS BLACK
WE ADDED SOME YAMAHA TUNING FORK LOGO BADGES FOR A TASTEFUL FINISHING TOUCH
THE CLUBMAN BARS GIVE GOOD CONTROL OF THE BIKE THROUGH THE TWISTIES
SPEED CAN BE CHECKED WITH OUR "PEEK-A-BOO" SPEEDO
WE USED A BOTTOM MOUNT BATES STYLE HEAD LIGHT WITH AN H4 HALOGEN BULB
K&L ALUMINUM BLINKERS WERE INSTALLED AFTER THEY WERE POWDER COATED GLOSS BLACK
ALL OF THE ELECTRICS ARE HOUSED IN THE "BLACK BOX" MOUNTED UP FRONT
A SET OF N.O.S. REAR SETS FROM THE 70'S WERE INSTALLED FOR SHIFT & BRAKE CONTROLS
THESE BIKES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THEIR ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STOCK CARBS SO WE WORKED WITH THE WISE GUYS AND GOT A 2 INTO 1 INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR THE BIKE
FEEDING THE FUEL IS A MIKUNI TM 34MM FLAT SLIDE WITH A UNI FILTER
THE BIKE ABSOLUTELY ROARS DOWN THE ROAD
A SET OF VANCE & HINES PIPES SEND THE GASSES OUT THE BACK AND GIVES IT A DISTINCT GROWL
ALL-IN-ALL A COMPLETELY NEW VERSION OF AN OLD BIKE
