I have finally completed the conversion. I will say that I am extremely pleased with how everything turned out. I went with the black Heli-Bars...
How come Guj? Do you have OEM bags without the hardware or are you concerned that you might not be able to replace parts if you buy them?
From what I've heard and from what I've seen from other posts on this site, you cannot buy the mounting hardware separately. I've read some...
Your past sounds a little like mine. My first bike was a VF500, then I moved to the CBR600 for a number of years in the early 90's. The CBR was...
Assuming you're talking about the mounting hardware that I posted pictures of, then it is NOT easy to take off in a short amount of time. It is...
I’ve just completed installing the rack system for the OEM saddlebags. Once again, this was a very easy installation. The directions that came...
Here's another one to look at. They are still available and I just got mine a few months back from this place. The price included shipping....
Nope. You're not nuts. This sounds like a very cool project. I can't wait to see the final result.
I've now got the Heli-Bars installed. It was completely uneventful and much easier to perform than I had anticipated. I was expecting it to be...
You can also go by sound. I've got an '07 and the exhaust note is very distinctive when it kicks in.
It looks like new. What a great find. On top of that, you've got Heli-Bars, an aftermarket windscreen and exhaust. Also, those look like the...
It sounds like a great find. You will love the 5th Gen. I had a '99 for a while and wish I still had it. Definitely post up some pictures once...
Thanks for posting Rollin. I'm just getting ready to install the OEM bags on my 800. I'm glad I found this thread.
I installed the oil mod on my 1986 VF500F about 8 years ago. At the time, it had only 600 miles on it. I too did all of the reading and research...
Thanks Oier. I also have a 1986 VF500F and VF1000R in mint condition. I spent almost 10 years finding and restoring the 3 of them. That has been...
Welcome. This past fall, I was pondering an ST1300 or VFR1200 with hard cases, but I decided to convert my 800 to more of a tourer. My local...
What a great find BLIGHT. It's a runner and for the money, it doesn't look like it would take too much to make it road worthy. You've even got...
I agree. It's the tail section for the VF500.
Welcome Oier. Your bike looks like it is in great shape. What's even more rare than your bike is the stock exhaust that you've got on it. Nice...
The rear seat cowl does fit on the Sargent seat. That was a huge selling point.
