Oops a new toad is in da place

Hi all,

I am a Frenchman living in Austria (not australia, there are no kangaroos here, only amazing wiener schnitzel)

Long time reader, first time poster. I don't know if zere are many ozer frenchies in da place.
Are there other frenchies? :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Yeah basically I decided to stop spying on you guys and try to help a little.

I own a '84 VF500F with 43k km on it (roughtly 27k miles for those none metric folks if they still exist, arn't they extinct by now?!?).

The exhaust 4-2 box started to fall apart so I decided to reweld new parts on it.

Hm, I guess you see what happened her.

Try to get da small box out... => g.. dam... I have to remove the engine => OMFG it's over dirty in here => start removing random stuffs around => hmm, so many boxes now

What have I done?!? :crazy:

Okay so now I'm in the process to rebuild it new, cleaned already the carbs using an ultrasound cleaner (twice each carburator and each time 1cm of tar a the bottom of my 5L cleaner) And they are quite clean compared to the rest :shower:

I will post some picture later on when I find time.

Until then have a good ride folks and avoid the toads on da roads.
