Looking good! Don't forget to mount the rear down pipes before you get much further. You can get them snug enough to still move a little for...
Try the mildest (vinegar) first with no media and see how she looks. Then go from there. Not a bad starting point imo.
A proper carb clean more than likely was not accomplished. All jets and pilot screws have to come out and passages blown at the bare minimum....
That part number is unique to the 85 VF500C Magna only. Interceptor will not be the same. No such thing as a 500 Sabre.
Honda will often incorporate bosses that aid in production, assembly or on the production line.
Unfortunately the 86 VF500F petcock is a 1 year only unit (in the U.S.) 84-85 are different and can not be modified to work as the bolt spacing...
I recently bought a used 87 VFR tank off ebay. The cap had been forced off and they put a slight ding next to the ring where they were forcing...
Sounds and looks great! Very nice example, sweet bike.
ATF is actually 7.5w. Get some 10w. A solid rod is probably a better shock than the original. The F3 shock will need to be modified to use on...
You're prob stuck with the 130/80-18. 140/70 is not right, gets pinched in too much on that 3.00 inch rim. And there's not really any good...
Perhaps you can pull the helmet lock to get the key number. Might still match the cap and the cap mechanism might still work. Other than that...
DMR Suspension. You can have a CBR shock modified, sprung and valved. Cartridge emulators and some correct springs for the front. And there's...
In my experiences with these bikes, both personally and working at a Honda dealer, if the engine was going to have issues it would have them...
I got a chance to ride one once. Magic but pretty unforgiving as a street bike. Super tall first gear and pretty aggressive seat-peg-bar...
Wow... what difference a few mm's makes on this bike. Sharper and better feedback. Instantly got the front tire to the edge finally with...
I got busy working on the VF1000F yesterday and forgot to dig the SM out. I replaced the left switch on my 85 1000R with another unit (not sure...
Front end is definitely a little lower, I had to put a board under the front tire to get the jack out. Oh yeah, and a new seat cover on a NOS...
So I never use added air pressure in the front suspension and I like to be able to slide the forks where I want. You can't do that on the...
