This is why I stripped the engine down, to confirm everything was in good condition. Guess this is a good engine/bad bodywork example then. I'm...
[More Pictures soon to follow] Did a compression test a while back, looks good. Coolant reservoirs had "stop leak" additive in them. Cleaned...
How about this, I'll make an Appendix of the dimensions and people can check the measurements.
VF750, double cradle doesn't seem right.
Tires looked aligned before i took the bike apart, but the cradle seems to be bent. Any frame dimensions/pics would be appreciated for comparison.
Have pdf of Official Honda manual and hard copy of Clymer, both say starter jet comes out.
Between the Clymer, factory manual, and online help, I can't find any useful info on rebuilding the VD carbs. Been trying to get the starter...
Due to it being so cold, I can't work on the engine to prep for a compression test. Even with a heater it is a struggle. Working on other parts...
I would say the vast distances discourage putting miles on anything not meant to be a cruiser. Anything outside of 30mi [~48km] usually will lean...
Finished cleaning/polishing up the front head [same head as previously posted]. Need to prep the block for fitting. [IMG] Rear head is just as...
Been stripping the engine & frame to check if everything is solid. -Fairing and structure are broke and badly bent/neglected. Going for cafe...

VFR sixth gear will not mesh with the VF gear lock [VFR is 4 prong lock where VF is 3 or 6]. Magna/Sabre 5th gear matches up though, this would...
Bolt size & pitch [22mm x 1.5 R.H.] to pull the flywheel, anyone know a simpler way to do it? Also, tried for the life of me to loosen the clutch...
Engine cranks, good compression. I'll start checking over the internals of the engine/trans for anything serious, project bike until further notice.
I like the look of the '83 housing. I was thinking more of bolt the VFR heads on, swap pistons,rods and crank [shop manual clearances match up,...
Can the VFR goodies fit in/on the VF engine block & trans? -Get 6th gear -Get cam gears -Use VFR cam in VF head/straight VFR cam & head?
Actually, luck has it there was a 700F in the next room that needs an engine.
1983 Project First off, this site really helped me out after finding this bike. Don't think I would have considered buying without it. I'm more...
