My bike lives up to my name

 

Bike is looking great man!!. How well do the 1000 side covers fit? do they clip to at least two of the mount points?

 

This project is SO awesome!

You may have already said, but what's the paint going to be like - still the factory scheme?

Build one for me!!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

I was gonna comment on how sexay she was looking. neckutter beat me to it.

 

The rear tab and the lower tab on each panel fit the 750 spots. The tabs at the front that go on the tank do not match. I'm adding a new mount location on the tank to fit the panels.

Paint is either going to be 1984 RW&B, or the 84 scheme in black, white & grey.

 

This will be awesome! Keep us posted.

 

Good to know...still searching for some of the VF 1000 side panels...had a line on them on ebay but got outbid over what i could afford at the time. Im sure i will find some eventually..

 

How much are you looking to spend? I have a spare set, I think all the tabs are there, but will have to double check.

 

DAAAAAMN fine work.

 

Sebspeed can I ask where you got the old mod kit you installed, or did you peice it together. by the way your bike looks great so far . been keeping an eye on the post.

 

I bought brake hose & adapters/fittings, and am piecing it together myself.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

 

VERY COOL NICE WORK. Did the oil mod myself not to hard, two tuff times drilling the case ( just cause your drilling the case) and fitting the braided lines onto the AN fittings.
Keep up the awsome work!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's a nice little vid on hose assembly, done by the shop I bought my supplies from.

Earls Performance Products, Speed Seal Hose Ends

 

Hey Whoa! If there's speed secrets with parts to be had I need to know about this!!

 

Engine Mod

Using the 750 crank and rods with the 700 pistons is a good swap. It will give you 11.2:1 compression ratio. The 750 and 700 deck height is the same. The stroke was shortened on the 700 and Honda used longer rods to push the piston up. The dome on the 700 pistons is taller to maintain 10.5:1 on the 700, and that's why if you use the 700 piston with the 750 crank/rods you get an increased c.r. This is a good hop up and though 11.2:1 sounds high it runs on pump gas.:thumbsup: Will post some piston pics if there is interest.

 

Is this mod exclusive to the Vf or would the 87 also be included?

 

I'm not positive, but I want to say yes.

I don't see why Honda would change the block or heads when they'd already done the same thing on the earlier model. Can't shim the heads on the 86-2001, because of the gear drive cams.

Look up Dave Dodge and call him to find out for sure!

 

Isn't there always? :crazy: Post em! :thumbsup: Thanks!

 

+1 :thumbsup:

 

Your project looks amazing, I hope you get it done successfully and soon !!!
I'll be doing a similar rebuild to mine over the summer!
