Hi everyone, new Yamaha owner here. My wife bought me a couple project bikes for Christmas, one is a '96 Virago 535 with 27,000 miles on it. It's in decent shape, been outside for a bit but overall it shouldn't take much to get running. The gas tanks are pretty rusty inside and I'm going to remove the carbs and clean them, change all the fluids, check the valves, and hopefully that'll be it for the engine. There is some kind of electrical issue too, when you turn on the signals, they all blink back and forth no matter which direction you push. Again, hopefully something simple. For $200, even if I have to sink a couple hundred more into it, we'll have a fun little bike.

I also have an '08 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600, and my wife rides an 07 1500 Vulcan. The other project bike she got me is an 86 Goldwing GL1200 that needs a LOT of cosmetic work but hopefully not a lot of mechanical work. I'm going to start on that one once I get the Virago up and running.

welcome
