I am trying to understand if the frames/skeletons of Virago models XV920 (shaft drive), XV920R (chain drive), and TR1 (chain drive) are the same? I am searching to find a model to begin my project with and i am currently wondering on that question. Would appreciate an answer. I prefer one of the aforementioned chain drive models, but all of my ideas for my dream bike are based on XV920 models, hence the question. Also, i would appreciate if someone can inform me of any other differences between the aforementioned models, with the exception of the shaft/chain drive difference for which i am already aware of.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello Demtrios,

the backbone is always the same, it is the rear-centersection that varies between the different models.

Cheers,
Greg

I would always go for a chaindrive, gives you much more options in wheels and swingarm of your project.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Hello Demetrios,

is there any development in planning or could you show something meanwhile?

Hello MacRudi. Hope you are doing well. Unfortunately, i haven't managed to begin my project yet, due to the nature of my work. Nonetheless, i am committed, and hope to begin in 2022.

Good work needs time. I know it from myself. So I wish you enough time in the next future ;-)
