PandP Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Well this is my new project, 1995 virago 250. Not sure what is missing as of yet but lots of work to do. The engine needs finishing off, previous owner had replaced one piston but needs the other doing. The new piston and rings are present but I have never done one so I'll learn as I attempt. I have the carbs but missing the diaphragm, spring and cover so I'll have to source those parts. Also missing front mud guard and exhaust. I have the header pipes and until I go through this lot, I'm unsure what else. All the chrome bits are rusted and everything else is just filthy but I'm not going to be discouraged, my Bros was worse and now it's a full running bike. Anyway I thought I would start this thread to show my progress. Here are some pics 1

The engine, numerous bolts missing or appear to be. Looks like it was dismantled and thrown into boxes in no order. Little put off at the moment but I'll see how I go. So far I'm going to need header pipes, mine have been cut?? Brake disc, front mud guard, bearings for everything and a shit load of bolts. Can't seem to find spacers etc in the boxes. Im starting to think sell off for spares but will see.
Sacha Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I had the majority of the parts for my DT and it still ended up costing more than I expected. look forward to watching your progress.
