These are pictures of my 1986 Virago XV700 bike. I have owed this bike for4 years and customized it for my lack of height. The seat was originally the double bucket seat which has been cut down and re-covered, the bike has been lowered 1 1/2 inches and I put on a Vance and Hines Classics II exhaust system. And yes, that is a Harley bobtail rear fender that was modified which of course then had to have a customized tail light. All these modification and paint were completed by a friend of mine, Ed 'Zeke' Rohan, the pin stripping was done by Bill Roell.

I am sending these pictures for your "Tank of the Month", but I could not help but send more than just the tank since I love my bike and nobody believes it is a 1986...the guy who sold it to me is just amazed that it is the same bike.
