VF500F Seat Cowl

One of these rare items on ebay right now:

VF500 VF 500 Interceptor Rear Seat Cowl Fairing #109 : eBay Motors (item 120528167141 end time Feb-14-10 18:15:00 PST)

 

I was bidding on that, I bailed at 100 dollars. It went for 179!!!

 

seems like all the seat cowls i've seen where painted for the 84's or 85's have'nt find any already paint to match the 86's. I spent 139 to buy mine and 200 to have it painted looks awesome to me!

 

Right, that one matched the colors of my '84 bike and cowl even though it was advertised as an 85 - 86.

 

I saw that one too and wondered about the color scheme myself. Though I already have one, I was thinking I might try and get another. I got out around $125. My 85 has one, but it's all white. I don't think the PO would have painted it, so I'm thinkin' mine came all white from Honda.

 

No hardware with that...makes the NOS one I got a few months ago seem like a total steal!~

 

I tried winning that with everything I got it was at $23 with 3 minutes to go then bam! I got in a bidding war with a few people and lost it in the last few seconds by 3 dollars to someone I assumed was subscribing to this thread.

 

would a corbin vf700 saddle fit a 500?

 

No, but there are Corbin saddles out there for the 500...

 

Thanks, I found a vf700 corbin saddle for sale that was in decent shape but if it wont fit then I guess I will have to keep looking and hoping

 

The seat cowls were never officially made for the 86 (in the U.S. at least). It was 84 -85 only. The 86 grab handle is quite a bit taller and does not have the threaded hole for the lock mechanism.
Mike.

 

that makes sense then but my grab handle had a thread hole?

 

would you mine letting me no the details for that saddle just send me a pm thanks in advance

 

I have seen pics of the grab handle are they still around to be purchased?

 

i have a cowl for the 84 vf's for sale,needs paint, also i need 84vf cowl lock cylinder parts.....thanks

 

Must have been added then because Cap is right about the 86 grab handle not having the threaded hole.
