restoring & adding a modern touch to a 86 vf500

Dude your bike looks awesome going through those turns. Hey I've got an update on my bike. I got the front left fairing repainted and I made the seat pan I just have to pad and skin it here is the link for the pics A community photo gallery - VFRworld Photo Gallery hope y'all like it

 

I dont know what to tell you Matt....unless the ride height of your bike has been lowered (which it shouldn't have been with the Wheels, forks, and rear shock upgrade) you shouldn't be touching the header.

No (realistic) amount of lean can cause this.

 

Here are the pics

 

You should probably start your own thread Dannyhoo.

 

I will as soon as I figure out how to do it on my phone

 

Dude That bike looks awesome I don't mind you posting your bike photos this thread has come together with some of the smartest people on this forum and you are more than welcome to post anything on this thread so post away and keep sharing that badass bike with the rest of us!

 

matt looking good as allways now its time for an upgrade brother a cbr1000rr or a newer viffer maybe ill show you my newest upgrade soon as i finish it itll look awasome

 

slowbird whats the deal with the signature

 

Squirrelmans quote, or the Map?

 

rodent mans quote i know where it came from but why can i ask?

 

I actually forgot which thread it was in exactly. (I was reading through looking for info and I stumbled upon it)....but Squirrel was giving his opinion on the VF500 motor and it's crappy top end, Jamie said to another member that he puts Squirrelman on his Ignore list, and Squirrelman respond with: You can't put the truth on an ignore list Jamie. :lol:

It was a good comeback...funny and true.
Plus I respect Squirrelmans' candor....so I added it to my sig.

Why do you ask?

 

well i was just wondering why you would have something of that nature up as a sig.

 

"of that nature"???

C'mon....you make it sound like it's something offensive, or scandalous.

It's a witty comeback. :tongue:

 

ok then i was just asking

 

got a few updates ill be buying clip-ons for the the bike, did'nt realize that vortex makes adjustabe clip -ons for 165.00 so that rocks!! and i am getting that the ass of the bike jacked up so more to come but things are just moving slow at this point

 

Check it out Matt I got my exhaust mocked up

 

Danny, that looks really good. You need to start putting some larger pics some so we can better admire your handwork.

lol.

"or some shit"??? Elegantly put. :tongue:
