I went there today and a 1986 vf 500 was there. Thought I'd let you guys know incase ya need parts.


I didn't get any information on it. The owner can be contacted @ 801-375-4436 it a home phone so don't try texting.

 

damn I could have used the windshield , rubber strip under the windshield and the rubber strips between the fairing and tank and maybe the tank......... where was this bike 6 months ago when I was looking for parts :tongue-new:

 

True....so true

 

Yes, I doubt that one will ever see the road again. Pity really.

 

Come on jeremy I honestly bet the guy will take $200 bucks for that bike. He's trying to get rid of a bunch of different bikes in the same condition.
Then you can pull the carb's off to clean them, put the back together and bother the hell out of tinkerinWstuff asking him what screw or spring goes where.

 

It was my first instinct to want to buy it but it is a money pit that can not be put into words.......only buying it and looking back can frame the mistake correctly. So I say buy it and we can link the rest to this thread for those that follow.

 

Not me. I was seriously trying to help some of these guy's out that might of needed fairings or other parts. If I wanted it I would of bought at first site. If it was a 700 or 750 it would be in my shop already....mice and all.
I'd rather kill this thread if no one wants it.

 

It is a plethora of parts, no harm in that but parting a bike is a wicked chore. It is aboot the 7th trip to the post office where it gets old. I have parted one for free on this forum and the bitching aboot ship times made me want shotgun for lunch.
