Wild, I have one of those open face helmets in my garage!

The OEM straps had a loop in one end that was put over the support rail inside the car.

Welcome, good choice on the sidecar. Keep your eyes on craigslist I'm sure you'll find the right deal.

Looks good! How hard is it to get in and out of with the one-piece top?

Welcome to the clan.

Welcome!

I think the older Jeeps used the same thing on the hood.

If you want to remove the swingarm from the cross tube it's held in place by a bolt from underneath by the seatbelts.

Welcome, The seat bottom should just lift out. The back is held in via a rived hinge. The original cover is glued over molded foam so careful not to damage the foam.

Welcome, good to see the full sets.

Ok time for an update. After getting most of the frame done I sent the top body out for paint and started working on bike-side mounts. I wanted to coat them the sane as the frame. When I went to get the body from the painter I was not pleased with what I saw. hade a long talk with him and he...

Sweet ride there! I have a couple of XVs too, I would love to talk EFI with you.

I see the pins come in packs of 20, would you be willing to send some out for a price?;)

Welcome! I had a cx500 years ago with a Honda line package on it.

I have an 1980 model of the same car. Had if on my 85 VT700 for three years and its currently holding up a 84XV 1000 Virago!

Davivdj979; The upper mount uses a coupler nut to replace the shock nut. You then bolt the bracket to that and a U bolt. The mounts I have are available for sale/trade as they don't fit my 1100. As you can see the upper mount is too long because of where the side cover mounts on the 1100.

The trim-grip is 9 1/4" center to center. As for the bike side mounts the 1000 upper mount is slightly longer and the lower rear is just over halve as long as the 1100s. The pics are of 1000 mounts.

I believe that are 1/8 with a 1/4 inch reach. Keep in mind that you will need washers to go on the back ( fiberglass side ).

Update on the bushings: I couldn't find anything that hade the right dimensions at energysuspension so the hunt was on. What i did find was a urethane bushing kit at Speedway Motors. they will have to be trimmed for over length but all the other dimensions are right on. the part #is 721-B6031K

Scott-E; All one can do is ask. I had considered the same thing (buying the business) and still might!
