    Hi,

    I have a Virago 535.. I've done a good bit of work on it and I'be bought parts to go back on it, but I've got to a stage where I'm not confident to go any further as I have very little experience in converting.

    I need to get it finished ASAP, is there any recommendations of good places that do conversions?

    At a reasonable price obviously!.

    Also need it sprayed.

    All suggestions welcome (Around Dublin and the South East)

    What work do you have left to do that you want done on it ?

    I have it cut. I have all i need to do is take wheels, swing-arm and forks off, spray and put it back together.

    I have new indicators, ordered my saddle and picked out exhausts.

    Any suggestions?

    Not personally, but taking all those bits off and painting them feels like stuff one could easily do on their own,

    Adding a seat and sticking the exhaust on too.

    Of course if there is welding involved and they are not bolt on then there is another element to it.
