Welcome to the forum! You have a sharp looking 500 there. Your intro is a tease,.... what did you go through to "finally get it running good"? If you have a documented story, you may want to start a new thread in the mechanics or first gen area so that we can all learn from and celebrate your good news.
Congrats. The VF500 is a wonderful machine, this was mine new in 1986 (I know I don't look that old.) Enjoy that sweet Interceptor. I wish I still had mine...
