There are guys out there that mix n match Comstar components to get the look/size they want. I've seen some Japanese sites where they are doing...
Again, I can see the two clevises are welded together. But where each side of the adapter attaches to the shock and the linkage, they could move,...
I got what you were doing from the first photos. But, again, doesn't the shock side need to be indexed, fixed in place, so it can't rotate? Just...
I think I'm a little confused about the mount/adapter. What keeps it from rotating on either the shock or linkage (or both), and moving out of...
I always forget to look at the Conti's. I think I'll try them on my next build.
Just put Bridgestone BT45s on an 84 VF750 and am very happy so far. Pirelli Sport Demons on one of my VF1000Rs that I like as well. I chose the...
Pretty sure that is just a drain hole for any water that collects in the V of the motor. Sounds like you have a coolant leak on the water pipes...
No prob... For future reference, you don't even need to loosen the bleeder.
Your hydraulic clutch has just pushed the rod a little. Push on the rod and compress your slave cyl back in. Just had to do this 1 week ago.
I'm afraid... really afraid. Those last 2 shots of the swingarm and weld job on the brake carrier are seriously messed up. I agree with...
Every time I get on an 86 or 87, i just seem to appreciate the whole experience more... they just seem to make the right noises and vibrations....
Front wheel has to come off.
Installed the lowers. They're pretty cool. Didn't know that they integrated with the stock chin cowl. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Pretty rare..but not as rare as the mounting hardware.
Yeah, the 1000F got 1000R collector and Yosh slip-ons and some bar end mirrors, so the rain bike picked up some hardware.
Yep... [ATTACH] They are very slightly longer and just get pushed onto the collector a little further. Bike runs perfect.
Dont just run the carbs "empty", drain them. When you run out of gas there is still some fuel in the bowls. Fuel in small quantities will go bad...
Stabil to full tank of gas, run it for a while, then drain carbs. Kill switch off, turn engine over at full throttle to pull any fuel sitting in...
I know all of this. I have many bikes that are way ahead in line for shock upgrades than the one this is going on. I'm just seeing if someone...
Like the title says, anyone have a stock shock for a VF1000 laying around or sitting in a box they want to part with?
