That's nothing. I had to go dig in the attic and this permitted me to locate another part I was looking for. duB
Find attached pics of the cover I have, including an under view so you can see the kind of under plate and modifications you have to do to fix it...
Wow! I will stop naming my modified vfkf a custom ;-) Regarding the fuse box cover, I'll check my parts in the attic (while restoring the...
Donald, I don't think the stock cover will be of any help to you. VF1000F fuse box is normally on the top bridge and the cover is a big ugly...
The stripes look good but the palm trees and sun of your pictures is what makes me dream. I am in mud and snow and still 120 days of it.
The screw is near a small nipple at the bottom of the bowl. You can slide on a clear plastic tube to drain the fuel in a jerrycan and put it back...
On a 1st gen I remove the spark plug of cylinder 1 and put a finger on the hole while rotating the crank shaft. You can feel a higher pressure...
Nice job. This bracket offer lot of possibility. I have this 5th gen shock (04) on a 1st gen (VF1000F) and located the pre-loader in the engine V...
Bought rotors on Ebay from S3 Performance (australia) for my vf1000f with cb600f2 wheels. They look exactly the same as those Chinese ones except...
If you look carefully at the video linked by john451, you clearly see that the "click" is at the master link. The pin of the link is wornout and...
The master link is usually the weak point that stretches faster than the rest. When chain is installed, it is hard to lube it as well at the other...
There is always a first time :-) duB
Just got a 5th gen after 5 years with a 84 vfkf. I guess a 6th gen in 5 years and the vfr1200 in 10. I will be at an age to appreciate a less...
The 5th gen fairing is very effective for the legs. I know since my 1st gen does not provided that protection. I ride in jeans with padding under...
Is the 600$ for parts alone? I have to do redo my forks and looking at the possibilities. I found last weekend that one of my fork seal leaks....
If it sat for many years with fuel in carbs, it may be clogged idle jets. If you jump wired the pump in place, it would not run with carbs full.
Some are running it with gravity only, with the filter removed. The last vf1000f I bought had a pump that I suspect was from a car. It was not OEM...
Nice to see I can improve my 5th gen (98). I could not tune it to match what I had on my 1st gen vf1000f. I had a vfr800/A rear shock (modified...
It's a chance you got the bolts. I am not sure the arrangement you planned with socket bolts would have cleared the caliper bracket. duB
What was available at the time was engine guard. All metal frame extension. I had 2 differents models installed at one point on either of my...
