You need to have your dealer check warehouse stock. My guess is NLA. You can get custom pistons from Weisco and others (don't use JE though)...
Maybe you can find an Ohlins TTX rear shock - then you would be over $1500!
There have been a few guys who have done this before. My understanding is that you need not only the VF700 pistons but the rods also. Back...
I've tried them a couple of times and never had any luck. I couldn't get them to tune properly. A change would make one area better but hurt...
Those really aren't bad prices. Just make sure they include a valving setup for your weight and not just a spring change. It's not uncommon for...
That's not an uncommon response. Manufacturers like WP will not make shocks for that old of a bike forever. In fact, that's not completely true...
My Dunlops run about 5mm clearance per side, just eyeballing it. Depending on where the chain is adjusted it can get smaller.
I run a 160/70 on my 500's and there is clearance (not a lot though). These tires measure around 155mm or so. I've measured 160's as low as...
The profile series matters too. Even so, the 150/70 that Slowbird is trying to use should be ok. Actual width from edge to edge will vary quite...
A good target for rider sag on your bike is 30mm front and 35mm rear. Winding in extra preload to get the correct sag number will cause handling...
Another Hooiser - awesome! Welcome!
The ticking of a VF500 engine is normal. This is most likely from the cam chains and/or tensioners but is not the same issue as the larger VF's....
Changing the mufflers and keeping the stock headpipes will not gain you much. In fact, slip-ons typically cause a power decrease because of the...
Actually, what you should do is set the rider sag. This isn't just a "nice thing to do" but really something everyone should do. Correct sag is...
The 4-1 Hindle header is what everyone really wants. The problem is they haven't been made for about 8 years now. If you find one be prepared to...
FWIW - Matt's running a Hindle 4-1 header. That's certainly not a "cheaper" option!
Without a keen eye that's kind of tough. It helps to have a seller/source that you can trust on this one. Posting up pictures for others to see...
I'd suggest doing a Google/Bing search for motorcycle suspension adjustment and tuning. I think you'll find TONS of info. Here are Sport...
On the stock wheels you should use the stock sized tires. Anything bigger or smaller just makes a bad thing worse. As far as brands are...
Man, I want the whole thing! I've got a spare upper and maybe a tailsection. That looks like most of what you would need to make it complete.
