If it runs and after seeing what came out, I would be inclined to put some fresh (cheap) oil in and personally hear what someone else thinks is...
They sometimes have a anti fog coating on the inside that can become "milky" too. I have cleaned / polished it out on the inside of a 500...
Seat cover is not stock. Foam profile looks pretty stock, but maybe a little modified. I thought that was the Hondaline rack. Cool.
Hell yeah. That is a good looking bike, a great rider to use and ride. What rack is that? I don't think I've seen a panel shape like that in a...
Yes! Congrats. You'll find most of the engine very familiar. In very Honda fashion, the 88 has host of things that are different from 89,...

?? I don't know. Check yours. All of my VF1000Rs have all black rads. So does my NS50F The oil cooler on a 86 VFR is not raw aluminum,...
I think Honda already did. You need to check out your 97. The fins are not silver. PLUS, I got over a dozen or so bikes restored by me that...
