    very surprised this question has came up?? after all in a choice if virago or dragstar there is only one answer dragstar it does have some weight to it but tbh when the bike is moving its as light as hell and i would say 100% more reliable imo noise i ave to say in comparison to my old draggie yours is quiet what pipes is on yours? you done a good build with that tho'
  2. dont even consider drilling that bolt out if it spins by hand it will spin when you drill it and .......hole in tank i had the same problem my solution was simple get the smallest allen key you got or a very thin piece of metal(feeler gauges) slip this under the cluster and jam the rubber then unscrew the bolt this will do one of two things 1 damage the rubber that the nut will come outof it and release from the tank 2 it wll come off easily i had the first just renew the rubbers when you refit and dont overtighten good luck

    personally i got my own(valid) reasons for what i believe i'm lucky and have had and still get regular experiences the most prolific experience i had was in the house i used to live in for weeks we(my friends and i) regularly heard footsteps coming from my upstairs hall different friends heard this at different times with no-one upstairs at the time i also woke up one night to find the whole upstairs hall deep in mist not smoke as there was no smell the partner i was with at the time seen the same thing researching the house i could find nothing so still unexplained in the house we are in just now we have heard voices and also seen numerous orbs the latest we found was on the floor in the bedroom when i went to renew the flooring i lifted the carpet and found this on the floor neither me or my partner has seen this before now folks can take what they like from what they read i know what i've seen and felt
