Wanted 1982 xv750 starter

[rommel]

Can anyone help me with a used starter for a Virago xv750 1982 US import.
The drive shaft has sheared and the cost of a new one outweighs the value of the bike.

If you have trouble finding one a m8 of mine just found out there is a adapter kit is avalible for an xs750 starter motor that makes it compatible.
hope this helps might b easyer to find

years and years and years ago, I had a TR1 that had a kick start conversion, and i sold it to a guy and he put it on his 1100 virago, and im told the 1100 bottom end and the 750 are more or less the same

Can any-one help me I am really getting desperate

well you tried ebay?

even on the owners club site there are calls for help, have you tried there, or the specialised virago forums?
good luck anyway

One of my club members has a xv750 he was told by a guy who works in a bike shop in Chatham.
