Yes, the 500 has a 360 degree crankshaft.
Thanks for the post but I believe this is the other way round. The VF series, along with the NC30, RC30 and kR all had 360 degree cranks (AKA...
Definitely easier to work on but I wouldn't go so far as to say more reliable. You are still talking about a vintage bike that will require a...
^ Interesting point regarding the 180 vs. 360 degree crank. Being a fan of the VF500F, NC30, RC30 & kR these models all share the same 360...
One of my favorites, 125cc engine, no flywheel, 22,000rpm redline, 1965. Turn up the speakers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuvx15DLDmc...
Thanks. Bolts would be great if you can find 'em.
Interesting project! Please keep us posted. (per post 98 above: http://users.rcn.com/kochc/moto/spark/ig_repair.html)
Agreed. If the tank is rust free and the paint/decals are in good condition this is worth $150,,,even more if you are slightly off center.
If you have 'em, I could use the throttle tube and the two bolts that secure the exhaust collector box to the oil pan. Also, the cover for the...
If I could make a recommendation, pick up a low(er) mileage set of heads. There is a what looks to be a nice set on eBay right now. Whole kit...

That's better! ;-)
Fair enough and I don't disagree accept for your take that 500 fans are daft.
From watching recent eBay auctions low mileage (under 10k) examples in nice shape go for between $2,500 - $3,000. Non-running examples go for...
Welcome, nice kR! Great to have you here.
If the seller is motivated, you may be able to purchase the bike for a very good price. If you are thinking to rebuild the carburetors check...
Thanks for the update. Looking great! If I could ask, have you crunched the rake and trail numbers on this? I'm curious to know if you were...
Worth every penny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB16snlZFl4&feature=player_embedded#!
+1 $1,000 is too high an asking price for this one. Too many gremlins have taken up residence. On this note, well done on the due diligence!
If you are looking to add a vintage bike to your stable this could be a good deal (with the stock exhaust included). If I could ask, how is the...
