Nicely done. I've already mentioned that I suspect a monoshock, so the rear fender needs sufficient clearance fro suspension articulation. One way around that would be to mount the fender to the swingarm, which would allow very little clearance.

I think I would bob the rear fender a little more, so it stops at the top of the tire. This is a fun exercise.

The chrome scoops under the tank need to go. Headlight is bulky looking.

I agree. I would rather see the V-twin engine than the scoops.

Now you guys are getting interesting. . .

Daeouse · 02-10-2014, 08:08 PM

Here!

Still need some more tweaks. . .
Better now?

Here's the stock Zongshen motorcycle.

Here are your proposed modifications.

It looks good.

However, I must admit, I prefer the stock rear wheel.

I want to see it with spoked wheels. Looks much better without the scoops and the cleaned up headlight. I think the fatter tires look better too.

I'm trying to find a good pic of that kind of wheel, and I haven't found a good one I like yet.

Negative, that's the modded one. The stock one is shown on page 4.

katoranger · 02-10-2014, 08:48 PM

Here is a virago 250.

I'm sorry about that.

I stand corrected.

Here's a photo of the stock, Zongshen Storm V250.

Here are the proposed modifications.

I like your proposed mods.

However, I must admit, I still prefer the stock rear wheel.

The Zongshen Storm V250 is virtually the same bike as the Yamaha Virago. However, the Zong will cost a lot less money.

Yep. I like spokes. I would try to make the Zong look more like the yamaha. Likely some of the parts with fit. Lifan also made a version too.

Can you Photoshop in lower handlebars? Drag bars maybe?
