Another 86 vfr in the stable..with a center stand

picked up a 86 vfr 700 18k mi very good condition..and the plus was a center stand..now to find the tail section for the seat..cooling fan switch is iffy..other than that turn key and ride ...sold my red white and blue one 2 yrs ago and missed it ever since,,got another one..some nicks here and ther but a solid nice bike for good price..a center stand whooo weee..gregg

 

Hi Gregg! Just out of curiosity may I ask the price?

I have not heard of Kenton so I checked the map. Not too far, as I am in Cleveland.

 

Pics or it never happened.

 

well it showed up on clist guy had it for 8 yrs and got a 94vfr..1550 selling price..even got bt45 battleaxes on it...the center stand really got my attention..not pergect like my 87 ,,but some tlc on stupid things will be nicer,,gregg

 

OH, congrats on the new ride too. Always fun to have an early Christmas in August!

 

Are the center stands rare? My 86 750 came with one.

 

Didn't come stock on the bike, so yeah.

 

the center stand was a optional accessory about 130 bucks and another accy was a tank bag and a bike cover...yes the center stands are rare nobody want them due to weight and being a sport bike more to drag in the corners..its a blessing I got one makes it soooo easy to work on .geezy the rear suspension sure is hard got it set to the lowest but I only weigh 120 lbs ,,now my 87 is a lot softer on the rear,think they changed the design in 87..changed the front fork fluids egads like 30 weight black colored oil..new atf fluid went in and much nicer front end ride...Gregg in ohio

 

You may be able to get a replacement shock that is tuned more for your weight. People here seem to trust (Jamie) Daugherty Motorsports for such.
