This is a KLR rotor which has had a number of setscrews inserted (the rotor is mounted on a dividing head) Not my picture but its something i am going to try (I intend Speeduinoing my KLR) . Cant see any reason why the same technique wouldn't work on the Virago
Agreed. The sensor only has to see a distinct feature change in the ferrous surface in order to create a sensor target. So, removing the bolts and just reading the holes (perhaps enlarged) would also do. Or slotting circumferential, or longitudinally (crappy doodle below); all done easily with a mill and dividing head as you show. 101 options.
I don't have a photo, but I know of one where a strip of small bar-stock was slotted across almost through, leaving a thin strip between the uncut sections (
▄_▄_▄_), then easily wrapped around the wheel/rotor and tack-welded (actually brazed), creating "teeth" without machining the rotor. Let your imagination go crazy.
