That 500 might become your favorite if you keep riding it.
Looks like it has Supertrapps on it.
Whoops, forgot it's there also.
Couldn't you have just moved the VIN plate to the other frame? Or was VIN etched?
With no title, good luck getting it legal to ride.
You can get it from the VF500F FB group if you cannot find it.
254K mi.? You sure?
Ah yes, those look better. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Cool old bike. I liked the looks of the earlier ones better. Always wanted one.
So fun to ride those sweet running gems. Glad you found a good one. Exhaust note is pretty cool too.
Yes to 2nd question. Unsure if both sizes were sold in '84.
Just replace the switch. Prob. not worth investing more time in it....
Only one piston? Std.?
Looks really nice! Interesting way to restore a fuel tank. I've never heard of that method.
Where did you find pistons & rings?
Looks good exc. for the LH switch assy. Missing rr reflectors & rear signals don't look orig.
