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!

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