Buying 1985 VF500F Interceptor

Got the bike! It was dusty & had a few problems but I removed all the plastic, fixed all the broken spots, cleaned the hell out of everything, spent about $75 on ebay parts, & rode it for the first time (besides the 1 mile test ride) today. Wow, it is so smooth compared to my Harley air-cooled 2-cylinder radial. The bike sounds tight, starts easy, runs great, looks good, & is seriously fun to ride. Under all the dirt, cracked plastic, & more dirt there was an almost new bike! I fixed the plastics with thin steel plate & JB Weld. The JB Weld repairs are invisible from the outside & structurally bulletproof. Right rear mount hole on the main fairing was broken out & tail fairing front mount holes broken out, all steel now. Man, I gotta get myself a metric bolt collection.

 

glad to hear you saved it. a note on broken plastic, I use epoxy, spread the crack fill it up and use denatured alcohol to wipe the excess off. works great.
