Default Yamaha Virago 535 Repair / Restoration !

I volunteered to help update a friends Yamaha Virago 535 a little while back. A lot of the oil seals needed changing, the oil and filter needed to be changed and the fork seals were leaking among other things. Here is the bike in all of its glory after doing a LOT of chrome polishing to get the rust off. I also fitted a right angle grinder with a wire brush and went to work on the tires to get the yellow haze from the old rubber off of them. The tires are actually in great shape with the rubber still being soft for traction. The bike cleaned up really well.
