Brother Kevin Landry's 1997 Yamaha Virago

Here is my Yamaha 1997 Virago.  I bought it about 8 months ago off another Canadian expat living in South Korean.  It didn't look like this at all.  I new the virago was a decent bike and the Korea chapter Widow sons has a rule bikes must be over 750CCs to join.  So I up graded from my 250 Hyosung Mirage.

The guys all had Harleys though so I felt outclassed.  After picking up my new "FRANKEN BIKE" I stopped off at our Chaplain's house and ran into our Vice President as well.  They were both really impressed with the modifications.

 

Mu Mechanic Su Seok, had a lot of ideas and after we ordered new handle bars from Japan and a new gas tank we had the seat changed, cut off the back fender, ordered new shocks from Japan, new brake lever,  and a new clutch lever.  He picked up a new mirror and pained a lot of things.  Mounting the licence plate on the left hand side and adding a LED brake light really set it off.  Removing the front tack and odometer cleaned up the front a lot and new covers were made for the battery with sheet metal and covered in a carbon plate.

 

I plan on getting one of my forks repaired in the spring and will put on a new set of tires.  I was really impressed with the work and I am probably most impressed with the exhaust made in the shop.  If any brother needs consulting or is looking for advice contact Su Seok.  He got me out of a bind when I decided to just cut a bunch of wires and remove unneeded bits.
