The various cross-over model parts and other ancillary goodies common knowledge with the CRF folks? I'm sure you've answered before, but is your...
Soul music indeed! Nice job.
It's almost unthinkable that given today's metallurgy and manufacturing process for well known parts like valves & guides, even in one-off...
stray- thanks! I'm more than well versed in the sled world, managed a Polaris dealership in the early-mid-90s, lots of trail pounding and ice...
stray- is that a Summit 850 in the garage?
After re-reading this thread again.....kinda wishing I'd bought that project I mentioned to you a while back......:Frusty:
Completely understand the fact it's not of utmost importance, especially on a VFR1K that is quite portly to begin with. Just interesting to know...

Very noice indeed! Interesting they grafted the V&H original CS style can on there too, doesn't too bad at all IMO. Sure would love to hear it...
Capt- IIRC, I'm pretty sure Cycle did a test of a blue VFR-700 in an '87 mag. Sold off all my old Moto rags a couple years ago or I'd check...

Nice rehab, pretty amazing seeing so many vintage V-4s of so many flavors still banging around nearly 4 decades later. For all their "flaws",...
Nice find, amazing how these things still pop up like that all these years later. The '86 was way better looking than the '85 model. Far more...
Top notch detail as always! You got stock in Ti?
I've seen some enduros with a rubberized sprocket mount for the spoke wheels, kind of a sudo cush drive effect to help dampen the driveline vibes....
have not torn apart a V4 race bike since about 1990, but hearing the front cyls run hotter, sure doesn't jive with my memory bank. But hey, that...
Agreed, pics are a must!
