Unfortunately, this applies to all gens of VFR, BMW, and many Ducatis. They all look dorky from the arm side. It's the nature of the beast...
You still have the problem of the pivot bolt interference with the rear pipes with the Hawk arm, it needs the long bolt. Welding in new bosses in...
When I said through, I meant in front not through where the shock goes through. Does the 500 use 2 separate pivot bolts? I noticed a notch in the...
If you use a VFR arm, plan on a custom exhaust. The rear pipes on the 500 pass down through the swingarm, not happening with the VFR arm. Yeah...
...yet Which is it? Yeah, that inboard disc REALLY pushed drastic improvement, you'll notice all modern 250 street bikes are using it. If you...
I agree, the F1 wheels look really nice as well. Taking the stock design and giving it a more sculpted look.
Just my 2 cents but I would go with the F2 wheels. If you ride hard in the twisty bits, the F2's will give you a much better choice of tires than...
I like it. Not all dogs are pure breeds and not all bikes are ready for the Barber museum. If you have fun riding it around and working on it...
Interesting. Looks like the bars will be below the triple on this one. I always like the 500's 3 spoke rims, remind me of the Dymags of the day...
It is a sizable container. The thinking is if there was a complete failure of the motor, any and all puking would be caught in there and not...
Try not working on Sunday, see if that helps.
Yeah, yeah, you get one of them fancy shmancy 800's and nothing gets done on the 500. Get to work! Look forward to the progress pics.
There is a small step on the area where you'll drill. File that flat, this will let you cheat the fitting over and have a flat surface. Smooth out...
Yep, a Momma bear with cubs. He ended up pulling the motor and had it welded. I haven't done it and with 100k plus miles I don't suspect I...
Every day that clear coat gets to cure before being put in a box is plus in my book. Patience.:wink: I'm sure it will look great. I love when...
As you know, there's a circular spot on the case where you'll drill. Cheat in towards the motor with the hole, not dead center of the circle and...
I used ones from an old Elsinore on my R. Shoot these guys an email for dimensions, you might get lucky. Vintage Factory Decals [ATTACH]
Grey, what more do you need from a shop? You've got the cabinets with a work top, grinder, posters, fuzzy dice, tool chest, pad on the floor and a...
+1! Get the front end and swingarm off. The added benefit to this is in engine installation. Put the motor on a milk crate or other sturdy...
Your local Honda dealer will mount and balance tires you didn't buy from them? Wow. Around here, shops won't touch tires that they didn't sell...
