I like that one too, they used a rear wheel in the front cause the OEM front wheel was so skinny and out of place.

Nice!! the only cafe'd Virago I've seen that I really like. Mostly the tank, I think, the little lift in the back makes it look a lot less bulky. Front wheel is cool too, kinda makes the forks look skinny tho...
and the Ossa is amazing! they always were very competitive on the motocross circuit, guess they dropped out of GP before I got into road racers. Too bad, sounds like that one was a winner.

The green gauges made me cringe.  Why leave the gauges that god awful green when the rest of the bike is a vivid blue?  Painting them lime green even would have worked better because it would keep with the bright colors of the rest of the bike.

The 'poon does do a great job painting.  Love his work.

yeah, thanks for the heads up and link. all i had was the image but was at a loss otherwise.

i see your point. to really complete the kustom show bike look doing something with the gauges seems logical. but on the other hand the bike isn't a huge departure from stock to begin with. to me it sorta accentuates the street strip image all the more to leave them as is. btw: i like the green clocks in general.
