restoring & adding a modern touch to a 86 vf500

Thanks for the props Matt, I'm glad you like it!!!

 

i end up go with bridgestone battlax 150/60 great tires super soft, if you look close you can see how much of the tire i used today :thumbsup:

 

That 500 looks fun to ride!

Props to you Matt and especially Jamie D.!

If I lived closer Jamie, I'd buy an older VFR so you could work on it for me LOL!

To add another testimonial, I got to ride Matt's bike and I got to say I like how the bike is very nimble, of course the fact it weighs only 320 pounds helps a lot!

 

Man, I gotta say that I love the side view of your bike. That white wheel looks really nice against the RWB scheme.

You meant 420lb, right? It's not a TZ250!

 

Super cool to see her on the road after all the work you've done. Congrats.

 

so Matt when are you gone to change out that front wheel??? bike looks GREAT !!

 

very very soon :thumbsup:

 

wow... what a beauty, you are making me sooooo excited lol. Cant wait to see the front wheel!!!!

 

yea man that looks nice! I have a set of battleaxes on my 500 and they are pretty sweet. is that a 150/60?

 

hey guys i need your Opinions on how this pipe looks, iduno im split about it i need some help

 

The yellow color isn't quite right. I think it would be much better if it was either chromed or white.

 

nope

too yellow, which makes it look too big as well. IMOP

 

The yellow can is not working for me either. The rest of the bike is so gorgeous, it needs a can that matches.

 

the yellow does not match rhe RWB paint. Blue might look cool....... but then RED would look wat to cool.

 

well i guess the answer is no then, oh well i didnt really like that pipe anyway

i was thinking of gettign a yosh carbon fiber pipe i think that would look good :thumbsup:

 

does anyone a vfr chuck? i heard he makes cowls for the 86's?

 

I've only seen one's for the 700 and 750. He may make them for the 500 but I would send him a PM. He responded to me fairly quickly last time.

 

Matt - A quick search should reveal a lot about him. Good quality but don't expect very good communication and DO NOT be in a hurry. He's been known to sit on orders (and the customer's money) for six months or more and not return calls or e-mails. In your search try Cobalt Racing, that's what he goes by.

He only makes parts for VFR700 and VFR750's, bu the way.

 

well then thats not going to help me then, damn it!! i cant figure out how this cowl mounts and i guess i need a rear cowl for the solo seat
