This weekend I'll dig out some 86 carbs and we can document what needs to be there.
Not my favorites, but that one sure looks in good shape and is a nice period correct piece. Cool! Gonna sound good (hopefully) for sure.
Def missing a spring. It provides constant tension for the synch plate and screw. I think I (don't) see some other missing springs too.
Those certainly appear to be Genuine Honda FII fairings from the UK. Sweet. The 4 are vent. I usually just connect the front together and the...
I've certainly started and tackled some "lost causes". But that's because I can walk 10 feet and get on one of several ready to ride motorcycles.
Dig that sucker out. Yeah, same 2 years for the US. Had a Sudco 4-1 on it when I first built it. Because I bought the two LAST new systems...
Smash cut to the "Well... I bought it." post.
You fucking didn't say you had VF500FII cowlings. Or at least I don't remember. Pretty cool score.
Hell yeah
Agreed. But I'd rather spray the calipers out with a little Brake Kleen when I'm done.
With my aux master, I've popped a few calipers open I was sure were fucking toast. The pistons look new. Ultimately, it can depend on where the...
I have a 1100 Shadow master cylinder (that I keep "bled") mounted on a piece of pipe just for this reason. I mount it in the vice and hook up my...
And steering head bearings.
See, that's the problem. After potentially working on it all winter and still not have a bike to ride, even $500 would piss me off. Just know...
That bike would be a HARD PASS for me. If you have up to 2 grand to spend, you can do way better than that. Thrashed and "custom" wiring. No...
Resto. Frame up. Crashed pretty heavily and bought it off the customer at the shop. Built it for my wife. Motor, wheels and brakes are...
02 - 06 RC51 (RVT1000R) shock with custom spacer for Ohlins spring. [ATTACH]
That bottom black collar looks possibly custom to accommodate a shorter than stock spring.
It sure looks like a stock Honda shock with an Ohlins spring on it. And someone plastered Racetech stickers on the body. Maybe it has Race Tech...
NOT a Gen 3. Or 4 for that matter. Or 5. Or 6. Looks more like a late model stock CBR shock. It is NOT an Ohlins shock.
Separate names with a comma.
