    Up for sale is my 1985 VF500 Interceptor

    Recently one cylinder quit firing. I am not sure why but I know it is certainly not a dropped valve. It is most likely a compression issue or electrical problem. It will start and run on the remaining 3. Could just be a clogged carb! Who knows?! I'm tired of fooling with it!

    It has a 1986 engine in it and I have the complete 85 engine also. The 85 engine has stripped head bolt threads but otherwise in good condition.

    I have already sold the F2 rear wheel and side fairings that are in the pics. It has a spare back wheel on it now with no bearings or sprocket carrier. I also have an extra set of forks an extra front wheel and another rear wheel. I've got a few more spare parts as well

    I will part it out or I'll sell everything for $350 pick up if you act quick!

    Post on here what you need!!

    The extra forks seem straight but I have never used them on a bike. They are not visibly bent or anything and the sliders are black.

    I'll take $50 for those plus shipping and i sent you a PM about the V&H

    Actually, come to think of it, how much do ya need for the pipes? I have one rusted through and the other is blistering up. Did you have to change carb jets?

    edit: sorry, I missed the previous discussion on the pipes. I'd still be interested to know if you had to rejet when you added them?
