    ... or vice versa.

    Does it work? Does anyone know a website that says which parts are interchangeable? I know a lot of the handle bar controls are the same. The gas tank cap, handle bars, etc.

    Does anyone know if the wheels are the same? Forks? Anything else?

    A guy from Spain put on Virago spokes on his cafe. Looked great. I fitted an 18" XS650 rear on my XJ550. A little bit of grinding and shimming and it fit good. I got a ? front I'm going to fit next week. I'll take pix.

    I have the front blinkers from a Virago 1100 on my 650 Maxim. The Virago has "running lights" in the front, which means you may have to modify your wiring harness to be able to connect the "always on" lead. I don't have an unmodified wiring harness. For all I know, the lead is already there, just unused by the stock blinkers...

    At any rate, the blinkers *fit*. Even if you don't connect the "always on" leads, the blinkers will still work. They take 1157 bulbs, which will work properly with the stock blinker relay.
