[@MiikaHak]

Thank you for the video. I also have XV535. I was wondering how to make rear look better without loosing passenger seat. Granucci seat is the answer. :)

[@benteinhadem5232]

I think that as well, i am struggeling to understand how to order though😅 I cant find a bank account number, like how do you pay?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

That seat is gorgeous. Could you tell me what's the brand of it? And what about the shocks? Where were they from? Very nice bike. Top👌👍

Thank you!

What model granucci seat is that? The ones that I find look much wider. That's the best looking one I have seen.

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Thnak you Dakota, it is imported from Italy, I do not remember the model, my apologies!

[@garyconstant4234]

Did you have to extend any wires or cables for the handlebars. Lovely bike. Good job 👍

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Yes. It was an awful job, to be fair!

[@jeremyfitzgerald8963]

I see you said you just re routes the throttle cables but did anything else have be extended and what size bars are those

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Sorry, Jeremy, I do not recall what size it was

[@petermotzfeldt4083]

Fin cykel👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Tak, Peter!

[@upurkilt7246]

Hi mate i know this is an older video. Is that a stock de-baffled exhaust you are running?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Hi, upurkilt7246,. Yes! I drilled a few holes in it, just to give a bit more sound. Good luck with your project.

[@upurkilt7246]

​@@jensingvartsen3494very nice sounding mate. I have just done mine also. Did you re-jet the carburettors to suit the exhaust or just normal settings. 👍

[@mls9225]

Good job ! Where can i buy the tires and the handlebars?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

I imported the tires from Germany. eBay for handlebar :-)

[@elitebbinfos]

amazing! which rear bumper did you put? Can you walk with a passenger?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

F.marsiglia OEM. Yes, sure mate. Thank you for watching!

[@suskayo8826]

Hello ! The bike looks stunning. What are the rear shocks size ? Because without this huge gap between the rear wheel and mudguard the bike looks gorgeous. For the Granucci seat, how do you ordered it ? Because their website seems pretty old. Via email maybe ?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Hi Suskayo, I am sorry but I do not recall exactly what size the shocks were. I do agree this mod made a huge difference! The Granucci seat was ordered from Italy via email I believe.

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Suskayo8826, 250mm shocks in the rear.

[@timreilly4917]

Beautiful bike! What tires did you go with, and did you have to seal the spoke rims to take tubless tires, or how did you go about that?

Looks good man!!! What throttle cables did u use?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Jay Eavenson Haha funny question; I actually re-routed the throttle cables quite extensively, but it worked out just fine in the end.. Thank you for watching!

[@davidgoeden9211]

What seat did you go with?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Hi David, it's a Granucci seat.

[@jammi7634]

Hi Jens how tall are those hangers?

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Hi Jammi, sorry, but I do not remember the length/height of the hangers..

[@rontidis]

Hey dude, nice bike! I actually got a 535 as well with a granucci seat, however I can't find how to take it off to access under the seat. Is there somewhere under the side panels or am I missing something?

[@borjaavalos495]

Hy mate, there's a bolt underneath de back mudguard. 10mm wrench n it's done

[@rontidis]

@@borjaavalos495 ohhhh that's why I couldn't find it haha thanks a lot!!

[@jensingvartsen3494]

@@borjaavalos495 Correct!

[@JwpGaming]

Hi dude, the bike looks amazing! Do you remember how tall the handlebar was? I've been looking to replace the bars on my virago 535 and that height looks just right!

[@garyconstant4234]

I put 10” apes on mine and that’s about as high as you can go without extending the wiring. I had to get a longer brake pipe and clutch cable but it’s not a big job. Hope this helps you 👍

[@JwpGaming]

@@garyconstant4234 Thanks for the answer. I ended up going with ~10-10.5 ich bar as well and it just about clears with the stock wiring. the brake line is quite tight when the bike is resting on the side stand, but it hasn't caused me any issues so far.

[@jensingvartsen3494]

Sorry, I do not recall the actual height of the handlebar.
