I got a little experience with Chopin em up a bit but not a virago. If your wanting to get it on the road soon your probably best off to stick to stockish sizes. You’ll definitely have to lose the front fender to go that big and then you’ll most likely wanna clean that area up a bit. The rear has some size to it as well so it’ll probably require some modifications. Not sure it’ll fit with your stock fender and tail. Best thing you can do is find a forum dedicated to those bikes. It’ll take a lot of guessing out of it. The bike in the pic does have a nice clean look to it. 

Never considered a forum just for Virago's, I'll see what's out there. Thanks.

Bought a 94 Yamaha Virago, all stock, and would like to make it look like the one posted. This is my first bike and will be doing a little at a time. The tires need replaced immediately but I have no idea how to size the wheels to fit my bike and get the upsized front tire. Thanks for any help, and explain it like I'm stupid, I'm a fireman, not a mechanic.

So where are you from, what do you ride and what modifications do you plan to do?

I live about 30 miles north of Columbus, bought a 94 Yamaha Virago 535. Not my dream bike but I couldn't turn down the deal and it will get me riding. I really like some of the cafe racer and bobber mods I have seen people do with these bikes and will be forming plans to do something along those lines.

Jeans,lol, sorry to disappoint

Hello all, just signed up and excited to share ideas and opinions. Bought my first bike this year from a friend and am looking forward to riding this season. I am also looking forward to doing some modifications this winter and hoping to glean some knowledge from my neighbors, so thanks in advance and have a safe 2018.
