I've had one of these batteries in my bikes for over three years now. The cells they are made from are actually more durable than lead-acid...
Bummer, all that I have in my spare parts bin are a set of Ø41mm Helibars.
Inlet size is the same? You might want to double check that one. I think you'll find that the 500 slip-ons will not fit the 700.
Welcome to the club! I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy your new purchase.
Personally, I've only found drilling the slides to cause problems. I agree with the original post - the stock carbs can be tuned without drilling...
Location? Thanks!
Indeed they are! Even the 84-86 models had those. Pretty standard issue really, even today.

Dan's been busy like the rest of us, but he just finished posting a page to my site: http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/Battery.html Enjoy!
There are still some battery cells made in the US, but VERY few. For all intents and purposes all batter cells are now made in China. And yes,...
I'm not sure you would be happy with the 4-cell pack. I've found the early VF's to need a bit more amps to start than a new 600. To be on the...
That's a good weight to use. I recommend anywhere from 150-190mm fluid height. Probably start at 190mm and add fluid if you experience...
I've run gravity feed on all of my VF's for many years without any problems. I think the "second half of the tank" and "not all of the gas will...
We sould arrange a group ride there sometime. That would be close enough that I would actually have a chance of attending!
Maybe you already know this, but the 929 shock will require a decent degree of modification to work on your VFR. The length difference is...
Hey Steve, have you considered revalving your stock rear shock? While it doesn't have the reservoir and external compression adjustment of the...
This is only because you did not modify the sprocket carrier. With all of the kits that I make the sprocket carrier is machined which results in...
I've seen 900RR swingarms swapped to VFR's before. Seems like the logical choice since the 900RR custom guys like to put VFR 'arms on their...
Just an FYI - The common understanding is to NOT use the cam holder when adjusting the valves. I've never used it and not had a single problem on...
I'm loving the black frame!
