    I had a friend down here in mexico go down on his way to work (had a stroke at 44yrs old, fell and hit something, and he is now paralized from the chest down) and i have his 90 vfr here so i can fix it up to sell to raise money for him. The bike was already beat up but all he did in the accident was scrape the fairings and bend one of the bars a bit. I took all the fairngs off, which were all messed up and broken even before the accident so im making it a streetfighter/cafe racer. I really need the wiring diagram and also the oil cooling diagram as i cant figure out where two of the cooling lines go (somewhere up under the carbs i think?) Its two chrome lines on the right side of the bike and both lines turn to rubber lines but they are cut and have bolts shoved in the ends of them! any help would be greatly appreciated as i have searched but no luk on finding wiring diagrams yet. thanks, and ride safe

    any modifications from stock will drastically lower the value of that bike. No one will pay anything near the potential value of the bike as a street-fighter.

    You were already informed about the oil cooler and air injection lines.

    i cant keep this bike stock because every piece of the bodywork/fairings are destroyed. to buy all of it for this bike is just not worth it especially with the duty and the headaches. we are just trying to flip it somewhat quick to get him some money for medical expenses and this bike has been messed with too many times (i have had to go thru and re-do every wire connection and clean at least 10 yrs of dirt out of this thing) and it needs the tank painted and the seat was messed up too, so i figured make it a cafe racer style bike, which you dont see much down here in my little part of mexico, so it should sell quick cause they love different things down here (you should see some of the crazy bikes down here, more relaxed regulations!) lol!
