Ally, Could you send me the link of where you bought the rubbers? And I've made some headway on the coolant. I filed the radiator cap...
Bump, anyone?
As far as cleaning the tank, use nuts, bolts, ball bearings, whatever and phosphoric acid. Most other rust eating compounds will flash rust after...
Excellent! It's always nice to hear of another old machine firing up. I don't think you're planning on pulling the carbs apart and cleaning them....
Hello, I am looking at getting a new head gasket for my 1983 VF750F. I would like to get a copper one, but Lani at Copper Gaskets Unlimited...

Ok, more fun stuff. I had this bike at a shop for a few months, they didn't fix anything, just broke my starter gear boss on my engine, and...
Yeah, I got the bike for $250 because the shift spring was broken and NLA. I bought one for 1.68 from a hardware store. The clutch plates were...
Get ready for a necro post, I finally got the bike running! The PO must have rebuilt the starter clutch/signal wheel. I found it to be 120 degrees...
