parting out 85 vf500f

Respectfully disagree.

 

No, it's just you.

 

there are still plenty of parts available everyone
including the new rotors
and the shock

 

it's a Maijer (sp?) screen so it might be taller






so who beat me to the gas tank?

 

That would be me

 

PM sent

...........

 

big -->:chaingun: <--mears

 

LOL

no, I have some LOW milage rotors & shock that he wanted from you but yours were not stock

 

I need a set of mirrors for my 1983 interceptor, those lookthe same. How much?

just for a bit of an update...

items taken/sold
brake rotors/pads
seat
tank
rear cowl
frame/title
upper fairing/windscreen
right side hand control
brake lever
mufflers
taillight assembly
spark units
carb boots/insulators

still have the F2 shock from JD, if no one is interested within the next day or two its going up on ebay as well as other parts

also have the tires, ive had interest in them but they were kinda iffy about buying used tires, but these tires have less than 300 miles, and they still have some of the little 'stub' things, especially on the front, on them.

 

how much for the Carb and carb stay?

 

just checking the status of my parts

frame
fairing
taillight

I know you said you had to get down it to the frame first. & you had school



guess I just wanted you to know I still want those parts

 

i know you still want them, havent forgot
but i think my dad is going to take off the swing arm and forks this weekend

 

how about the Carbs?

 

DOH!! Too late, I nabbed them for my cb550. Yeah I know mines a 75 and they don't have the vintage look as the original round mirrors but with the vf500 mirrors I can actually see what's behind me now. :biggrin:

 

Cut me some slack guys will ya? My kids motor literally falls to pieces, then he posts it here for parting it out and right when everyone starts wanting stuff, the punk takes off for college in Vincennse and sticks me with the job of not only taking it apart but stuffing stuff in boxes to mail them. Bum deal if you ask me. :biggrin: And for those of you who have already paid up and are patiently or impatiently waiting for your stuff to get mailed, RELAX because come hell or high water you WILL get it. It's the bigger stuff that requires a big box is what is killing me because too big of a box is where UPS or USPS really sticks it to you in regards to shipping cost. And to whoever wanted the mufflers, rotors, brake pads, I FINALLY got it in the mail today. To keep costs down I mailed it "parcel post" which means it still may take a while for you to get it but the package is insured. Finding the right size box for that was a PITA.

Another thing my son is struggling with is coming up with a price that is both a good deal to you guys on this site but yet not giving it away from his point of view so if you don't like his price, don't be shy about it, make him an offer. The worst he can say is no. Some of the stuff he literally has given away but that was because the buyers were people who have been and still are contributing helpful advice to all of us rookies.

 

Just so you all know the jets that are in the carbs are 1 step richer than stock. The bike had overheating issues when we first got it and the spark plugs looked like it was way too lean so going with richer jets not only took care of the overheating but the engine ran a lot stronger as well. Can't remember right off hand what size they are other than they are 1 step richer than the stock 85 vf500f jets.

 

no rush On my end ... just wanted him to know I stilll wanted the parts we talked about..:biggrin:

 

Nah the biggest issue is getting motivated enough to actually want to do something once I get home from work then once I do then finding the right size box is an issue. My son did make an effort to supply me with flat rate boxes from USPS but they only go so big. Then to complicate issues my wife tore some ligaments in her knee the other day which may require surgery so I don't want her carrying anything up the steps to the post office which means I have to go to the post office myself and that's a challenge because unless I'm able to get off work on time which I'm not always able to do, I can't make it there in time before the post office closes. I've already had 1 instance this week where I was a minute or 2 too late and had to wait the next day.

 

still have various parts including the cbr F2 shock
