should i do it

should i streetfighter the 85 vf1000r the fairings are thrashed dents in the tank and just overall alot of problems i have gotten about 90% of everything back in order just need new fairings which are outragous in price and discontinued.. whats yalls thoughts..

 

Orion:

Well how about some history?

Is the 1000 running? everything in good shape but the fairings?

This question IS a bit harder; you could always part out or sell at a good price the bike to another VF owner.

Oh, and nice to see you elf,deepdish.

would you write permanent marker on the mona lisa?

 

Personally, I feel the R is worth more and looks better stock, or even repainted in racing colors. You can buy complete fairings from poly26.com.

You can also pick up gas tanks from Ebay US or UK, if your careful.

Or you can sell it in present condition. Someone will be glad to give it a new home.

http://vfrworld.com/forums/introductions/30747-new-forum-old-riding.html here is some of the history

once a mona lisa after my brother that i was helping out got done externally all perm marker'd

thank you am digging now much appreciated

 

If the bike is all complete except the problem with the gas tank and fairings I would get a new tank and fairings.
The bike is a valuable bike if complete.

A "street fighter" done poorly from a road racing bike will be worthless and will just look like a
trashed out sport bike and the VF1000R deserves more.

Those bikes were expensive when new and many young guys would dream of owning one. Treat it with respect.

First start looking for a good tank or get that one repaired by a pro.

Just my opinion.

 

Where are you located?

 

Fayetteville, ar. Is where I live and bikes are all there. But hypathetically I live in my semi passing across the Oklahoma Texas border now as we speak
