    So, i was able to pick up a totally sweet deal on some full fairings for my 85 500F from a board member here on vfrworld. I'd like to pass that on to someone (or multiple people) here.

    I'm doing an electric conversion of my 500F, so i no longer need the engine, exhaust, clutch, carbs, etc.

    i was able to get it turned over and started before i started on the project 2 months ago, however I'm not sure how well it runs. I was not able to ride it at that time due to the legality of riding (no mirrors, or lights, or title for that matter) at the time. The original bike shows 24K miles, and was in ok shape (not great, not horrible).

    So, if you're interested in any parts, PM me and you can have them for the cost of shipping. I'd like to get rid of the whole thing all at once (e.g. not parting out the engine pieces) though. If you've got a specific piece in mind, and it is already removed or it's easy for me to do so, i might be able to do that.

    If you live near Mountain View, CA and can pick it up, you can have it really for free. :)

    Pics of the engine are included below. if you want pics of anything else, let me know.

    I keep waiting for a deal like this to crop up near me. My engine doesn't have the compression it once had and it would be great to have a bench motor to rebuild.

    Yeah. sorry. :( I'm guessing if i shipped it, it'd be about $100 to colorado from where i live in cali. I'd probably have to ship it freight. If you want it, PM me and we can work it out.

    Hows the exhaust? How much to zip code 02842. I may only need one pipe. I'm selling my F1s and need a stock syslem to put back on the bike. Thanks

    well, toe cutter is closer to you than me so I'm gonna PM him the link to this thread and see if he's interested in picking up an engine to play with. I was gonna offer to pick it up for him but I'm in the opposite direction.

    I do not want to step on toes(but I will cut them off) but if you need to be rid of it I will gladly come get it and check it out and pass it on to the next member that needs it.
