Good deal. Look forward to seeing the photos. If I could make a suggestion, inspect the valve train and set the valve lash while you are...
Welcome! I don't have an answer for you on adding extra load onto the bike’s electrical system (hopefully someone here will) but kudos on...
Sounds like a good plan. Look forward to seeing the photos. Are you working on a full rebuild?
Blasphemy! (Welcome! Good find on the low mileage engine. Look forward to seeing the build.)
If I could ask, what intel are you basing this on? From everything I have read it is pretty hard to tune these bikes and most systems fall short...

Quick note, all years of the 500 Interceptor are considered 'First Gen' Honda V4s. There are significant differences between the '84/'85...
Looking very nice! Thanks for posting the new photos. If you have a chance to post a few more detail shots, I am interested in hearing more on...
An interesting topic and perhaps part of a larger philosophical question. Performance on one side, including how the bike feels and responds to...
Too funny. I kinda thought that he might be working it a bit for the two costumed lasses looking over from the Radio Flyer.
Way to stick with this! If you have 'em, a few photos of the build would be great to see.
+1, I don't believe these are painted, rather they are anodized with a relatively matte finish. I have the color specs for the 500, including the...
Well done hopit!
A bit more intel to help visualize the 360 degree crank: [IMG] (source for table above: Big-bang Firing Order, Wikipedia)...
