New Aussie Member with a VF750F

morning/afternoon,

scored my 83 VF750F for $850 sight unseen, i think i good a good deal, needed a caliper rebuild so ive done that, and to work out why she wouldnt start, well it looks like its a fuel leak problem so off with the carbs and broken fuel tube, so a new set has been ordered.

my goal is just to get it on the road ready for a charity ride then just the ongoing tidy up and modding.

future plans:
New Fairing (chin spoiler, screen, race seat. and paint work
Full fairing ( depending on looks)
Rear shock Mod
might look into the oil mod kit
new exhasut cans

My bike history isnt that exciting, 1st bike was a Honda XL175 (still have) 2nd Bike Honda 83 CBX650E (RTA say there is only 5 regersterd in the country) (still have) and not the 83 VF750F. one day i will get a pic of my 3 Hondas and Dads CB750

 

My CBX650E.

now i have the 750 i will tidy up the CBX abit

and my 72 XL175

 

bd850 what state are you in? Think about putting them on club reg. what CB does your Dad have?

 

im in NSW, the 175 is on Club rego now, the CBX will go on Club Rego the VF750f will be a daily, and dads CB750 is a K0 CB750/four also on club Rego. (aswell as 5 vintage cars on club rego aswell) as you can tell we like the older classic stuff

 

been awhile since ive posted, not much has been happening part from trying to get her running, Carbies were all gummed up so its getting a full carbie rebuild at the moment, and a shock is getting made from Jamie. got some new rubber to go on, and some new exhaust cans coz the others are rusted. and found out that the bike hadnt been running for 10yrs before i got it

but while its been at the shop they seem to have had some babies

 

Welcome aboard, those XL175's were amazing little bikes!

 

havent been on for awhile, well its getting checked for Rego tomorrow. so what has been done - Full carb rebuild, CBR600RR rear shock (from Jamie), Pirelli tyres, SP engineering mufflers, mini LED indicators, Tank Bag/Bra

 

Great action shot in your shorts and tennis shoes. I always thought it was cool how paramedics would find shoes 50 meters away from the bike wreckage itself. Don't worry it won't happen to you it only happens to others who don't have your skills.
