New life in the old VFer

I have been slowly improving the 86 VFR750F I bought a while back. It was crap, barely ran, carbs were shot, had to ride with the choke on! Bought a parts bike and rebuilt and jetted the carbs which made a big difference. This week I went with new sprockets and chain (15/46), and dumped the truck tire it came with (140/90x18) for a much smaller 130/70x18. The old dog came alive! Now for paint and a good detailing.

When removing the bolt on the countershaft I had to use a breakerbar. Bolt "popped" loose so I thought al was good. I didn't inspect the bolt, finger tightened it with the new sprocket then snugged it up with a 3/8 drive wratchet. Head broke off the bolt "Oh F..K"! I'm screwed! Luck was with me and I was able to use a couple of picks to back the treads out the hole!

 

Any leftover parts you don't need ?? I'm interested. Need a few parts for an '86 700.

 

87 700 parts bike, Im using the brakes, wheels, some motor parts, suspension front and rear. The plastics need alot of work! What do you need?
