Thanks everyone for the replies, I have all the time in the world for this.
NEED HELP...Does anyone have a stock 86 VF500F tank they can take a few measurements on? I am trying to mock up a set of stripes for the tank in...
Thank you again, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! I actually got to ride today, the most I have done on this moto since I got it. I have...
I was wondering..I see them at HF and they seemed a little too cheap.
Looking good there, I also am going to have to tackle the calipers on my VF500 now that it actually runs! I noticed you have an ultrasonic...
I got the parts, I do not know how to thank you enough! Per your request, I found a Christmas charity here in Houston that is in dire straights...
I spent several hours on this and gave up. I think it is as good as it will get. It is not perfectly clear but for 34 years and sitting outside...
Nothing exciting, just doing a very labor intensive restore on the LEXAN windscreen. It is cleaning up pretty well actually! [ATTACH]
All good Cap'n, I appreciate you looking out for us poor souls with VF500's!
The MOD I did to the clutch basket actually worked. Very little clutch drag and the bike shifts verrry nice. Not sure how long this will last....
Oh, man I really appreciate the effort! I have concerns though. That basket looks like it has the same indentations from the disks that my...

I raced several CR125's in the 80's and that ATAC was a pain in the rear. It was mechanical (non electric) on the dirt bikes but needed constant...
WOW, that is awesome. I have never seen one of those in N. America. Reading the thread now!
I can't get a break. Finally after MONTHS of work and waiting I an ready to ride and then it rains for like the 1st time in a month! Oh well......
The one on the bike was slightly better and I ended up filing it. There was a really good write up on this from Mikey30006 back in 2015. I am...
Norcal...that is the spare basket I pulled out of the attic. I figured it was a waste case. Confirmed. I guess I will have to pull the clutch...
CLUTCH IS DRAGGING. Now that the gas tank debacle is in the rear view mirror, I need to tackle a lingering problem. The bike is really hard to...
Obligatory AFTER picture. Can't really see it but it is like a glass coating. I am glad I did research, one kit was barely enough to do this one...
Thanks! Any advice is helpful. Don't want to screw this up.
