It’s exactly four months since I first broke my first gear. The parts came, and we changed the side cover and the clutch. Not that difficult at all. It seems one can get a 920 Virago’s clutch into a 1000cc Virago - woot! Ironically, as we torqued up, one of the bolt holes on the filter cover, the source of the most stubborn part of the leak, cracked off. Guess what? It’s a separate piece, and we were able to use the cover from my original. Now I really have FrankenArnie!

Of course, we were soon off on a test ride. I was stunned at how nice it was to ride the bike. We ran a few errands, and a little oil dropped, but this was not unexpected. You might have had trouble getting the grin off my face with a chisel, though.
