From Cole – Here is my XV920 that I picked up for a very fair price about a month ago. I have the hopes of modifying it and so far ive got it stripped down and starting to mock it up for the subframe. I picked up a new tank for it, its a mid 70s XL 350 tank and so far im really liking the look. If anyone has any good suggestions on wiring ill gladly take any ideas.
Meetup this Thursday, the 8th of October @ 6pm at Scooter’s Coffee in Roy, Utah. Come talk shop and share ideas. Scooter’s 1871 W. 5300 S. Roy, Utah

At 1:45 PM a stream of visitors began trickling through the front doors of The Fallout on 600 West in SLC to checkout the Salty Bike Revival, an all Utah motorcycle builder/artist show. I took an opportunity to help out, and right up until I left around 8 PM there was at most a lull in that […]
Stylish and original ideas always excite me. When I was introduced to the Cafe Racer style of motorcycles I was immediately hooked up by the concept and history behind of it as well its unique look. There is something in this style that lights up a desire for emotion and adrenaline. From that very moment […]
A couple years ago Dan had sent me some pictures and a bit of a writeup on a Yamaha XT500 he’d picked up as a project bike – http://www.utahcaferacer.com/2013/05/31/dan-duncans-yamaha-xt-500-cafe/ . Aside from some top end work, new header, and typical cleanup, the bike was look’n to stay pretty much stock for the time being, nothing flashy. […]
The 2002 Guzzi Nevada 750 “Millenovecento36” is Oscar Tasso’s tribute to the Fiat 500cc. “Topolino”. From Oscar – On June 15, 1936, the automaker Fiat launched the 500A, which later became known as “Topolino” (Mickey Mouse), perhaps because of the similarity of its front with the nose of the Walt Disney’s character who became popular […]

Viragos are strong engines and were always very popular. I spent many years at a large Yamaha dealer and worked on many. There is a multi spark ignition available to reduce the starting issues these bikes had. You should consider one for your awesome ride. Great job! (C5 Performance is the company making a Virago kit right now).
