Custom Bikes Of The Week: 19 January, 2020
A box fresh turbocharged Kawasaki Mystery Ship, a slinky Yamaha Virago cafe racer from Spain, a Henderson Model G converted into a vintage board track racer, and a Honda Dominator with a Dakar rally vibe.
Yamaha Virago by VooDoo Garage The Yamaha Virago was one of the surprise custom hits of the last decade. It seems like an unlikely candidate for a cafe racer build, yet time and time again builders manage to whip it into shape.
The thing is, a lot of Virago cafe racers follow the same formula; often including a classic Benelli fuel tank and a waspish tail. This XV1100 from VooDoo Garage in Spain bucks that trend, and it’s all the better for it.
In an inspired move, VooDoo installed the boxy fuel tank from a Laverda 1000J. But the biggest challenge here was massaging the Virago’s cruiser stance into something more palatable. It now features a custom subframe, new YSS shocks, Suzuki GSX-R forks and 18? Excel rims.
There’s a custom top yoke with an integrated Motogadget dash, clip-ons, new switches and an LED light. Every detail is top-shelf, from the two-finish seat to the neat Yamaha logo cut into the custom license plate bracket. The exhaust system is also unlike anything we’ve seen on a custom Virago; twin pie-cut headers running into two SC Project mufflers. [More]
