Welcome!

In this video, we transform an old, junkyard condition virago into a fire-breathing (literally!) Mad Max style Custom Bobber, ready for the Wastelands! I utilized two T28 turbochargers in Draw-Thru configuration on this turbo setup, with two VM-38 carbs.

If you are even moderately interested in turbocharging your carb'd bike but feel overwhelmed, or don't know where to start, my "How-to: Turbocharge your Vintage Motorcycle From Scratch, Draw-Thru and Blow-Thru - A Complete Guide" video covers EVERY detail you need to know. Pitot tubes, Carbon Sealing, Draw-thru/Blow Thru pro's/con's, setting up carbs for boost, vacuum routing, fuel pump selection, fuel pressure regulator selection is all covered in this almost 50 minute long video that breaks down everything you need to know.

There's also 10 more exclusive how-to videos, covering tank painting w/rattle can, lowering forks, carbon sealing your turbo, how to lace a motorcycle wheel and a half-dozen more. Come join us!

We do commissioned turbo builds as well, from basic budget friendly builds to full on show stoppers. Contact me via the website above for a quote.

We used to put ASMR in the title but figure that it's probably best to let the viewer determine if it falls in that category themselves.

    So you fabricated all your parts by hand, made your electrical plugs yourself, did all the math for the turbos, welded your own exhaust, polished your parts by hand. I know I've forgotten some things... You are a top notch mechanic, fabricator, welder, electrician. My hat is off to you. GREAT job. Thanks.
  • This video checks ALL the boxes. ASMR restoration, motorcycle content, engineering, fabrication, I could go on. 👏 👏
  • @bikerbrothers21
    That Exhaust sound with Twin Turbo's whistle is amazing🔥
  • Not often I watch long videos in their entirety, but this was definitely one of those rare times. Great video -- the asmr bits are amazing lol
  • Ohhh, here goes my 37mins meditation session. Thanks a lot for doing it. It all looks smooth in the final cut but I can't imagine how much of time and effort was spent producing this video.
  • @DustySquitoNM
    Those front firing exhausts coming off the turbos look so gnarly. That is a sick bike build.
  • @zeedon
    I truly appreciate leaving in the mistakes. I can get in my own head sometimes, and seeing that even the the best of us aren’t perfect help me keep trying 🙏
  • @damikopiko
    I usually skip to the end when I watch someones build. I watched this video from start to finish. Amazing build bud! 😎🤙🤙

    Wow, after some 40 years someone builds a XV920 I would love to ride. Well done!
  • @Muppetpatrol
    Wow man how satisfying it was to watch you build that bike by hand, doing everything yourself. Amazing amazing job!!
  • @Pendragon78
    I love these style builds. Really makes me want to get one some day.
  • @oddis188
    I use brake cleaner when i put on new grips. Makes it super easy almost like oiled. But dries super fast and then it's like glued onto the bar👌
  • @SuperMatiz
    I'm totally not into motorcycles, but it was pleasure to watch! I wish my garage-turbocharged K11 Micra will be done such a clean way...
  • @woody65536
    I loved the Virago when it 1st came out. This one is a bad, bad mama jama! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
  • @bobabreath5097
    Your close up video footage on the small things puts you far ahead in my book. So many other YooToobers just don't get it. You are an actual Jack-of-all-trades. Great work. Wish I had seen your channel sooner. Better late than never and I'll be following in stitches from here on.
