    i came across an '84 vf500f that is a bit more of a project than i would like to get into. it is a complete bike with around 25k on the clock. missing a few of the covers and instead of the normal belly fairing the po put a full 1 piece fairing on the front that replaced the belly and upper side pieces, i have spun the motor over, not locked up with decent compression across the cylinders. looking under the valve cover there appears to be little wear on the cams and valve stems as well. it has been sitting for a number of years due to fuel issues from a rusty tank that caused the po to stop riding it. the frame is straight, clutch still working as well as the breaks, i have keys for it and the title will be clear. someone else might want to restore it but i think it is better off as a good parts bike for someone who has a pretty one that is already running. i am located in virginia just east of richmond. i am looking to get $250 for the whole bike but i will consider selling parts off of it if no one is interested in it. i will also take some pictures of it in the next few days and try to get them up on here.
