'84 VF1000F Tank Repair

:biggrin: Got my "pinhole leaks", rust & right side dent repaired (a $300 job unfortunately but less than a new tank @ $649.12 + shipping). Took almost a month, & job was Xcellent, except...

Am ready to try resurrection start-up after 4 years this afternoon (no carbs cleaned out yet)... but I don't have a lifeguard & it's 90+ degrees, so I'm gonna wait 'til 2morrow to find out if starter is fried or not!

 

I just had my vf700f take de-rusted and double slimed. 135 bucks. Now I have to get rust out of filter, pump, and carbs...

I just love the color scheme on those VF1000's.

N would look same other way, no?

 

The N is not only upside down, it is the mirror image as well. The Honda should also be tapered shouldn't it? Should get larger with the red stripe getting larger..

 

:smile: Hi bear,

You R so correct. I just had a look @ the before pic.

Will attempt to have right side panel done as a "freebie" where pinhole fuel drips ate paint off the white & fragged the red decal.

Your astute observation will help with that, my friend. I prolly would not have noticed. Many thanx!

PPM Cycles http://www.ppmcustom.com picked it up this aft since I was unable to get it started after 4 years (starter dragging & probably jets clogged as 2 of the 4 vacuum sliders were stuck... definitely clogged bystarter jets!:biggrin:

 

where?

I'm looking to get this done to my '85 vf700f; where did you get it done?
