Parts should be no problem to get through American Honda. If you go that route, I'd be curious to know what they're going for.
Here is my 1986 collection. The 500 and 750 have been completely restored. I'm currently finishing up the 1000R. 1986 VF500F [IMG] 1986...
It was a wire that connects directly to the upper ignition coil. The sheathing was worn away and the wire was exposed. From there, the wire goes...
My brother's '86 VF500F just had a similar problem. It would rev fine up to 8000 rpm then it acted as if a rev limiter had kicked in. We swapped...
Great project. I also restored an '86 500 a few years back to absolute mint condition. One thing I did was add a top end oiling kit and a...
I put a top end oiling kit on my '86 500 only because I couldn't find anything that definitively said that it wasn't affected. At the time, my...
I'm afraid that Matt is right about the aftermarket status for our bike. It is pretty much non-existent. It is tough enough as it is to find OEM...
Looks great. It's always nice to see a 500 that's still in use.
Yes, I believe that the VTEC engagement was lowered from 6800 rpm to 6400 rpm in 2006.
Yeah it stinks and yeah you feel bad, but just be thankful that it wasn't a deer that jumped out in front of you.
What I would do is ride through the Adirondack region from Albany to Syracuse. When you get into NY, travel north of Albany up to Lake George....
By any chance at all, was the bike in Prairie du Chien? Was the seller's name Terry Meyer?
I just checked out your photo gallery. The bike looks great. I'd still love to hear how you were able to acquire such a gem.
What a great bike choice! It's an ultra rare machine in great condition with low miles. What are the details? How did you come across it? I...
The bike looks like it is in near showroom condition. It looks like it was really cared for. Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
The price difference between the RWB and the Red was $500. For non-ABS models, the RWB went for $11,099.00 and the Red went for $10,599.00. Add...
I am definitely glad to hear that neither you or your daughter have any life threatening injuries. However, what you're going through is tough to...
The bike even looks new. Considering the mileage and condition, I think you got a pretty good deal. Welcome and enjoy your new ride.
I bought the complete assembly for my 500 about 6 years ago. I was told back then that Honda only had 3 left in stock before they were gone. I...
I agree. The exhaust looks like they actually put some time into making it an integral part of the bike as opposed to an after thought. Also, it...
Separate names with a comma.
