This is my latest project. It's a 1983 Virago with only 7000kms on it. My plan is to update the suspension and do a chain drive conversion. Big cam, high compression pistons and a full port job are also on the list......

I am using a 2004 GSXR 1000 front end and wheels and 2003 GSXR 750 rear swing arm I got from my local wrecker

One of my first projects was to make a new set of engine covers....my cnc guy cranked these out in a few hours.

Did a mock up of the rear swing arm to get a dimension for the chain drive conversion....the rear tire is a 190

This is the cad model I drew up for the chain drive conversion. Tha shaft is case hardened 4340. Tha small end of the shaft runs on needle bearings and needs a min hardness of 56rc. The bearing adaptor ( blue part ) has two deep grove bearings with more than enough load capacity for the 100hp I hope to make.

Nice! Have always liked the XV engine. Very curious about what you have planned for the chain drive conversion??? Gonna follow this thread!
Stopped by my buddys cnc shop yesterday with a case of beer and I walked out with a pair of chain drive shaft blanks.....good trade...lol

This is the model for the frame brackets to help tie everything together. It will also be used as the mounting points for the tail section.

WOW i'm impressed. There is some serious design gon into that conversion as well as the rest of the bike. It's going to be pretty mean, which is no mean feat considering its origins. A resounding well done 
The four cylinder two stroke is a 1600cc motor I built for my 320hp trail sled.....fastest thing I have ever been on.

I will be building an under tail exhaust. Traded a fish finder for a pair of Hindles....and a few beer....lol

The seat frame will be lightweight alum tube. The tail lights will be led and also serve as turn signals. I weighed the bike today with everything on it except a battery and lights and it came in at 340lbs.....that GSXR stuff is really lite

Going to run a pair of Keihin 39mm FCR carbs. The accelerator pump in this carb gives you wicked throttle response.
