1996 Yamaha Virago 1100

[@seniorrider9337]

I am so lucky to have a 97 with 10,000 miles on it that I have personalized with flat style super bike bars, a master cylinder with a smaller piston that fits the flat style bars ( gives much more power and sensitivity to the front braking capability), and Galfer stainless steel braided teflon brake lines. Those two mods to the brakes in front transform the braking power and feel in these Viragos. Stock brakes were designed to be weaker than they could be due to Japanese engineers designing them to fit the abilities of the targeted rider, an older rider who could/would never use more powerful brakes. Easy fix and along with progressive springs in the forks, I added a heavier fork oil to slow down front end dive. Also did some intake track mods to get rid of the bugs on the side of the engine. Love my Virago!
