    I know i have asked a few questions on here but don't think I ever post a pic. This is my 1984 VF500F. Picked it up on Craigslist last fall for $700. 12,000 original miles on it and in pretty nice shape. Runs great and tons of fun.

    When I bought it, it was painted completely white. I can't really afford to take it back to original, and I liked some of the colors and decal schemes of some of the other VF's and VFR's so I kind of came up with my own (you do what you can with your budget). I replaced both tires with new Dunlop rubber, and tracked down a Corbin seat that arrives next week. Here it is so far.

    Nice find, hope you have fun with it for a few years. If you want to sell the original seat I'll give you $20 :playful:

    Looks like a nice buy. Make sure we get some pics with that seat
    in place.

    Thanks. Hour and a half drive but worth it I think. Also includes a lower cowl and an upper fairing.
