Here is a simple mod to make your old Virago 535 into a cool cafe racer. Not really "that" simple, but at least you don't need to change the exhaust and the main frame.
Lower the front fork
Change the handlebar into something low
Custom build a cafe racer style fuel tank
Add a frame from the end of the fuel tank to the rear shocks
Custom build a new seat and a rear fender
Make a larger cover for the battery compartment
The paint job is up to you. As in my render, I play with the theme "Lucky"
The last thing to do is a bit tricky. You need to change the foot control to a rear control which I didn't do it in this render
Hi, Beautiful conversion ! But: you haven't mentioned the fact that the rake angle is lowered. This is non-trivial as it involves either cutting and welding of main frame or installing some adjustable steering head.
