Research this bike first- early '80s Viragos had starter problems, I did everything I could think of and could not get it fixed. I am burnt out on the bike and want something I can jump on and ride. I have all of my receipts and a Clymer's shop manual for the bike. Everything I hear about these bikes is that they are great once you can fix the starting problem. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want better pics- cell is 513-659-8135. Cell phone is much more reliable than email, but you are welcome to try both.
