It is possible to drill it out. Very difficult yes, but doable. My brother-in-law did it on an 85 VF700F.
The tank has been painted... Poorly. Pretty nice bike tho. CA carbs were not smaller. All 86 carbs were smaller than 84/85 if that's what...
I have not done a 5th Gen or later front wheel yet. Terry, have you found you get a distinct audible indication when the 2nd bearing finds its...
Whaaaaat?... the black paint AND broken off upper cowl didn't draw you in?
Can't tell if you are being serious or not... VF500F. Despite what their listing title says. And that is a very big $400 gamble. "Doesn't...

The 500 has a clutch, which it sounds like you realized. The starters are not that complicated but there are some washers you need to keep track...
Going kinda full circle on a Hawk? Or is it, "I can't afford not to at least look since I have a place in line."?
Yes, keep at it. An inanimate object right out side the shop door to beat on and curse at works for me sometimes. If you are sitting on the...
There is a trick. It's a twist/angle/lift that clears the frame on one side and the cam caps on the other. It is very hard to describe and...
