I don't know what I did, but I just kept looking around and I got the headlight working. I do believe it was possibly start switch related. Though...
You know, today I'm pretty bummed about this bike/project. I truly thought I was coolant away from firing it up and getting the bodywork back on....
Yes, I thought the same thing about the horn. I probably have a loose horn in the parts pile and can double check that. If the engine turns...
Thanks. I'll check. It's odd, because lots of this stuff goes through the LH switch and shares that ground. But the turn signals and indicators...
Put in a battery and turned on the key for the first time since I've owned this '85 VF500. I'm not getting power to the horn, headlight, neutral...
I'd rather you contact him for a quote, since nearly every rebuild could be different. Depending on how bad they are, what needs to be replaced,...
Carbs are in! Now to just get the cooling system back on and filled and install the new battery. You might also notice that I cleaned up the...
Thanks all! It's nice to hear some encouragement. I don't know why, but I've just always loved the style of this bike. I remember staring at it...
Heard from my carb guy tonight. Carbs are done! Now you see why I use him, especially on carbs this complicated. I still do some carbs at home,...
The cowl had a couple of broken tabs. One was already missing, the other was only held on by the bolt. My Dad did a couple of repairs for me.......

Got the valves adjusted on today. Man, that was.....fun.... [IMG] The good news is that the lobes, cam chains, etc., all look beautiful. No...
I hear about people wrapping their bikes....am I doing it right? [IMG] [IMG] At least the aliens or the government can't see me know. 8)...
I'm interested. PM sent.
That's about where she stands today. I've done lots of cleaning, installed a new fuel filter, etc. I have a Honda wrench on the way for the valve...
I've spent some time sanding down the Kerker and was going to try painting it on the bike, using tape, aluminum foil, newspaper, etc., to mask it...
Even though he drained the carbs, I heard too many horror stories of clogged pilot jet and choke circuits. I listened to the nay sayers and pulled...
Changed the fork oil and installed new Pirelli Sport Demon tires. [IMG] [IMG]
I rebuilt all three calipers with new seals and one new piston. I initially flushed the lines and had everything working, but the master cylinders...
It's all original except for the full Kerker exhaust and a K&N air filter. It has a home made "tail tidy", but the rear fender extender was...
