In a weekend full of motorcycle losses, at least I managed to get one thing figured out that had stumped previously. I managed to remove the Vance...
So this was just brilliant. I never would have considered using the trashed lower I have as a clamp. Worked like a charm. If that didn't work, I...
Before I go any further, does anyone have advice on how to loosen the front axle once the wheel is off the bike? The manual I have just says to...
This sounds terrifying, lol. Though if I would have just jumped to 60PSI right away, I probably would have saved myself a lot of frustration. I...
I really like that very faint, cartoonish font "ContiGo!" on the sidewalls. Reminds me of the font on the Buell Firebolt tachometers--sort of...
My rear tire has had a slow leak for a while, and I assumed it was a faulty stem. Wrestled the rear off with some levers to find that the inside...
If you've got a Harbor Freight near you and find their coupons, the 1/4" and 3/8" torque wrenches will be much more useful for setting torque for...
I actually think it's kind of funny. I hope it's one of: 20 years registration, 2500 messages, or special vote by high VFRWorld council.
I wish I had a good suggestion on where to find '86 intake boots, but I can't find them in stock anywhere. The '84-85 were very easy to find and...
Going to pick up some of that Trim and Bumper paint, thanks for sharing what you used.
I've got some brake pressure now. So I pulled off the master cylinder from the VF500 for another inspection and cleaning. I was surprised to see...
It started from a really bad spot. It's not that I haven't tried to go and verify that all the orifices weren't clean... it's that I was...
Thanks for all the suggestions. Diving Pete, one of my worries was that I installed the seal backwards, but I don't actually think it's possible...
... the what? ... there are 2 holes? f***! I just made a post on my rebuild thread that would be entirely resolved if that were the case. That...
I'm pretty damn near my wits' end with this master cylinder. I've watched 20 rebuild videos and tried everything I can think of, but I can't get...
Congrats on the bike! Looks to be in really good shape. How does the price of shipping and answering a question for me sound for some new valve...
Gotcha. I'm having a hell of a time getting any pressure in my brakes at the moment, so I'm not a great resource. The back bleeding through the...
Emailing Billy's is probably the exact thing I need to do! I didn't think of that. I can't find them listed on his site, and they're not part of...
I've found that switching the line to stiff 1/4" fuel line and tying a zip tie around the end I can stop any air slipping past. This doesn't solve...
How big was your smile after it fired? I imagine even bigger than mine after reading that! That frame looks really nice too. Congrats on getting...
