1984 vf500f about to buy, should I do it?

Unfortunately, I can't at this point :[

 

Is it going to be a problem that they have a non stock one installed?

 

I never noticed it, to be honest. Maybe I will just order another one, just to be safe.

Plus I don't want to scare off any potential female riders

 

woo!

let me just grab my credit card andddd

Thank you for posting larger photos. This looks to be a very clean bike.

I noticed that the rims are not factory for the '84. I am not sure what model these are from - the cut outs are not stock. Can you find out more information about these?

+1 on the radiator hose - not factory, but this should be an easy fix if the various parts are still available.

 

Buy it. Nice smooth ride

 

He doesn't know anything about them, other than the fact that he hasn't seen them on any other vf500f's.

Like I said, I might be going out there to take pics, what should I take pictures of?

 

The rims look interesting - a few photos of these would be appreciated.. Please take note of the rim and tire sizes and any markings on the rims.

For overall photos, I would place the bike on its centerstand, and take true elevation photos. In addition to these - a few detail photos, top and bottom.

Also, take the seat and side covers off and inspect the mono-shock to see if this is stock - if it is, I would recommend installing an upgrade.

These photos and notes will represent a good overall picture of this bike - of any modifications that were made along the way and the condition it is in - though I would say it is a good deal at $1,200 - barring any unforeseen mechanical issues.

 

will do! He is also including a bunch of other things like tank bags and an extra shock, another petcock, another seat I think and a few other odds and ends.

Also, I asked him if 1100 was ok without the carb sync/clean he said not a problem.

 

Congratulations on the purchase! This looks like a very nice bike at I think it was offered at very reasonable price (esp. with the extras).

Please keep us posted on the rims. I’m curious to know what they are.

 

Those rims look like some Honda ComStar variant of some sort. Don't know what they're from, but it ain't a VF500.

 

I feel like it might be a bad idea to post this here, but maybe I should buy this?
