If the red is a before picture then that looked to be in very good nick. The black is very impressive. That came after or before the ZX10? (Not...
Got it delivered. In the cold light of day it's a lot shittier than I remember. Sometimes my idiot tendencies get the better of me. This is one of...
Could be worn valve gear but the engine was quiet at low rpm and the rattle was audible only at higher rpm. The noise oscillated too. I think...
The bike will not be delivered to me until next week but I did take possession of the petrol tank. If you want a look, photos link below. Like an...
I got him down a bit but I probably overpaid. I'm useless at negotiating. The bike is solid and what swung it was the petrol tank. These are just...
UPDATE. His friend cried off after hearing the motor run. I went to see it and bought it. I'll post a few decent pictures up tomorrow. The petrol...
No. He has sold it to a friend. Never got chance to even see it. Such is life.
I am going to look at this tomorrow. https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagebikes-for-sale/honda-vf-500/14758489 It's local to me so would be amiss not...
Not really. I liked my VF400 OK. Those enclosed discs were a stupid idea though. Some claim the VF motors are difficult to work on and I suppose...
VF400 posts are like London buses…you wait for ages then three come along at once
Your son will have many an enjoyable evening fiddling with those enclosed discs. Just watch it when you/he attempts to remove them. There are 6...
GBP1600 is not miles away. I paid GBP2000 for an 86 in 2011. It was in really good condition though. Not mint by any stretch but everything was...
If it's not too late, consider a VF500. I have had both and the 500 is miles better.
They were imported into UK for one year and they brought in loads expecting it to be huge success. It wasn't, and they were selling the same model...
Yep. Brembo drilled discs, fitted to CBR600 17 inch wheels.
Yes. I suggest you do a bit of research. Not hard to find.
Yes the tank fuel strainer is really hard to remove. I tore mine getting it out too.
I use those green scourer pads you can get for cleaning pots and pans. For the really stubborn bits I use a very sharp blade like a scalpel. If...
I am pretty sure the alternator and the clutch cover on the Magna (VF500C) and Interceptor (VF500F/F2) are interchangeable. I don't use anything...
Yes, could be. I did experiment and increase the valve clearances from 0.15mm to 0.18mm for cylinder 3 and the pressure went up from 125 to 135psi...
