Virago Seat Removal

The Virago is a motorcycle that was produced by Yamaha from the early 1980s until 2007. The Virago's claim to fame is that it was the first motorcycle with a V-twin powered engine. It was also one of the first bikes with mono-shock suspension. The Yamaha Virago came equipped with a stock seat. However, Virago owners can customize their motorcycles by buying and installing new seats after removing their old ones. It takes around 15 minutes to remove a Virago seat.
