Здравствуйте! С таким подходом к делу, у вас получится лучшая Yamaha Virago на планете земля. Я не могу оторваться от видео ролика, хотя я продал свою Virago несколько месяцев назад. Спасибо большое за хороший контент!
Большое спасибо за добрые слова. Это так замечательно слышать от людей со всего мира. Реставрацию Virago должны закончить к весне и тогда будет больше видео с катанием по горам. Заботиться.
Real nice Ken ! I know when I recromed my !000 Virago back in 1992 I did just that even the brass at a place in North Vancouver .Wow you choose a differant option right on Ken. Can't wait to see it done !!🏍Ralph from West Coast BC
Good morning Ken, just wanted to pick your brain. I am restoring my Virago 1000 and need some nuts & bolts. A stock exhaust and other odds and ends. Would it be worth my time purchasing a 1100 Virago and trying to match the parts or are the 1000 and 1100 to different in your opinion? Any info is great, keep up the great video series. I am loving what you did with bringing the gold trim back to life!
Thanks Derek!! I feel your pain - but yes - buying an 1100 or even in your case, a 700/750 will give you many common parts. Double check this, but I believe the exhaust system is the same on all Viragos. You still have to be careful with things like fork tubes - your 1000 has the air crossover tube and I think that was eliminated by 1989 or so. 1100 Ignition modules won't work on your 1000 and the clutch is completely different too. But when I scrounge for parts, I cross reference 750/1100 part numbers with the 1000 and find a lot of it is the same.
How has it held up after a year? I’m about to purchase everything however the Createx website says that the UVLS gloss can’t be used as an automotive top coat. Did you use an additional product to seal it?
Great question. I used a 2K clear (special aerosol can) over the Createx colors just for that reason. The 2K clear is solvent based urethane - the standard in automotive finishes. It's usually mixed 4:1 with a hardener but more recently you can get 2K clear in an aerosol can. Good thing is you can get it in gloss, matte or satin. I waited a full day for the createx clear to dry completely before I painted the final 2K urethane clear top coat. A year later it still looks freshly painted.
You are so meticulous Ken. And your bike will be so stunning when finished. Cheers from Ont.
Cheers Joe!! Really appreciate the comment.

I need to up my game, you have a great eye for detail
Thanks!! My wife calls it "OCD and it needs to stop". I guess I went overboard but once I started, I couldn't stop until it was like new.
@@KensWorldRestorations I can be a bit the other way, I make them mechanically right then I'm indifferent to the looks
sweet job, Ken!
can you show the process of taking off the gauges' rings? thanks
Hey Willian!! Funny you should ask...next video. :o) Should be ready in a few days. Email me if you want any extra info.

Which red would you recommend? 4663 Red Oxide or 4650 Blood red?
Probably the 4650 Blood Red (Candy 2.0).
