Does anyone here know if the later Viragos and the Tr1 have the same dimensions at the front engine mounts and at the hole at the lower forward part of the engine? I've got a reason for this question...:
I'm about to attach a sidecar to my Tr1 and I have found that Motorvation makes a subframe for the later Viragos. Therefore I thought that I should at least ask if someone here knows if it might fit on a Tr1? See this link to understand what I mean: http://motorvation.com/virago1.htm
Would this subframe fit on a Tr1?
Greetings,

hi Henrik,
I´ve been looking after the picture and your question fpr a ltlle while. It is not easy to say, if it fits or not, but the solution for the front subframe is not typical/necessary for the elder XV/TR1. The tube could be shorter and mounted on the left exhaust tube side directly between upper and lower engine mounting points. Maybe it does fit, it´s a question of the e.-tube.  And the rear subframe dont fit.

Regarding for sidecar solutions on my XV750SE I found it ´d be easier to mount the sidecar on the left hand side. We are writing in english, on which side of the street do you ride? The right or wrong? ;D

I think, for a left hand outfit, the picture proposal would be useless.

Cheers, Olaf
