        81 550 been sitting in buddys barn for a couple of years i had given to him he got scared sold it to me for what he put into it as requested when i gave it to him.
        Pulled it out this weekend and started to clean it up and replace the things i stripped off for my 750 last year when crashed. Like the sissy bar? 14.985 miles and was a fun ride. Spent 3 days (fri sat sun) Taking parts off rubbing with green 4-m mesh strips soaked in wd-40 and soaking carbs in bucket of kero for pre clean and bikes still very dirty. Still needs front fender battery strap and left side cover. valves adjusted rear tire and some rust removal, paint on frame. Bought for a hundred bucks several years ago. Anyone have any info on that sissy bar?

          Mocked up with another tank and cafe seat. I'm hoping to have everything mounted and the bike back together by next weekend.

          I need to make new sidecovers too...
          Hey Toasty,

          Whats the tank from that you have mounted on the 81' 550?

            Seems to be a shortage of 1100's here.

              It's an 81 (I believe) Virago XV920 tank.

                            Here's Mine,

                            Though I was warned of the "L" haters here, mine was my first bike, and I absolutely love it! Miles of smiles!

                                A few changes since this picture was taken (windjammer fairing, side covers, etc.) I really enjoy my 850L. It's comfortable, smooth and reliable. Comfort is up on my priority list, because I ride to work nearly everyday when it's above 40 degrees. I use to ride a bobber (hardtail) and then decided comfort was my priority over freezing and a bone jarring ride. The big bonus of my "L".... It cost me $350 to get it in my garage. Hard to beat that.

                                The "L" has a "G" tank for a better range, so it has a "G" triple tree as well. It's got some mods, but not enough to make it look too un-L-like.
