Today I wanted to get the 1981 XV920rh finished with the safety inspection so I could actually ride it. I decided to get new tires which was the only thing it needed. I wasn’t sure how the rear wheel would come off on these contained chain drive bikes, was it like other chain drives? I found it was a combination between a shaft drive and chain. The wheel popped right out just like any shaft drive bike.
After getting the new tires mounted, I ran it down the street to get the safety inspection done. It passed with easily enough, but my turn signal relays are somewhat delayed… luckily he still let it go. I still am trying to figure out everything with the handlebars and the seat, but I’m getting there. Here’s the Virago right after a successful inspection.
