1983 VF750f Paint Job

After looking at bikes on this website for the past 1 1/2 years, I finally have mine looking good enough to post.
Last summer I bought some HRC Race Pipes built by Mike Velasco and put on my bike. Probably louder than I want, but sounds mean.
I also picked up a keim full fairing made for the 83 vf750f in Germany, that was purchased in 1986 and shipped to me unused in the original box sent to the US from Germany. I put the fairing on last summer and drove it till Oct. without painting.
I had the bike painted last winter and picked it up in May.

Your 1st Gen. Looks great fairing is very nice( I like the one peice) and where did you get the Pipes? I've been looking for awhile!!

 

I definatley need a sound clip of that exhaust! Awesome bike too!

 

:thumbsup:I wanted a full fairing on my first gen so bad! Very nice, ride it pride brother:thumbsup:

 

Awsome, just perfect. Now go tear up some pavement!
Sick bike man.

 

The paint sceme looks good, cool fairing. Is the engine stock?
I haven't seen front cylinders/rear cylinders split exhausts before. It would be great if someone would find a cool exhaust like this and copy it for everyone with rusted out collectors.

 

4-2 exhaust

The Kerker set I scored takes the front 2 cyls. to the left and the rear 2 clys. to the right. Have a friend with an '83 with a Supertrapp system that is the same. This stuff is out there still but I guess you just have to get lucky to find it.

 

Wow! A brand new system very cool. Two years ago I saw a full stainless system on ebay and dropped out of the bidding at $600 should have pressed on.

 

steal

Yep. Figgured the $350 I paid for it was a pretty good deal. After that I realized it was a steal!! Dumb luck I guess.

 

sounds like me ( dumb luck) found a hindle 4-1 on ebay in canada for 120.00 bucks two of them i purchase one of them turns out the hindles for the 500's are in the 600 dollar range now

 

Put my bike on ebay yesterday. Looking at this old post makes me feel bad. Have to sell since I got a new 08CBR1000rr two months ago. When the dealer delivered my new CBR with 1.5 miles I was drooling over it and he asked if he could go into my garage to see the '83 interceptor. The first time back on it after a couple of weeks of driving the new one, I wondered why I'm getting rid of it. VF sounds nice. Have links to sound clip of HRC pipes now. Two years ago I installed HRC Race pipes built by Mike Velasco for a Jim Granger mid 80's race bike, they make the V4 sound like a small block Chevy with a fat cam. Exhaust can be heard along with drive by on you tube at http://www.youtube.com/user/daelkman54#p/a/u/0/WoZL3PU3RIo, http://www.youtube.com/user/daelkman54#p/a/u/1/U8PFHKXV8xE, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKIfkFfmPvg (first start up of the day with choke), and http://www.youtube.com/user/daelkman54#p/a/u/2/G_JPUbv44mo. I purchased the fairing on ebay two years ago still in the original packing as shipped from Germany in 1986 and paid $900 to paint the fairing last year. It is an aftermarket full fairing manufactured by Keim in Germany.

 

very hot! love it!
