Seems a tad pricey though for the triple tree, upper fork tubes and some hardware. But, with a bit more rake, and the tail bobbed, would be a whole new bike. I wonder if it'd be possible to cut the rear frame off right behind the front seat, mount the fender on some struts or something so it hugs the rear wheel, Anyone seen, have a pics of Virago that has the rear hacked like that? what about a detachable pillion, maybe as simple as something that inserts into the old tubes and just hangs over the rear wheel? Just so a guy could cart around the wife or a kid once in a while.

Honestly, those chopper forks are WAY cool for the Virago. For an in-town bike, I would look so cool tooling around town picking up chicks left and right. Heh!

So heck with what "the wife" says...
She'd say "Honey, why are you stopping your Virago waaaayy out here on this deserted highway in the middle of nowhere so late at night??" And I'd look back at her and say "This is where you get off babe...."
