Thanks, but it turned out I didn't use them I bumbled across some new old stock and used those, they had three different iterations of the...
It lives! Yeah, the bike is running again, fired it up for the first time today since Feb. (work too much and too many projects/chores). It...
Jeez, I'm impressed with your persistence. I'd have pushed that bike off into the brush a long time ago. Despite a 500 Interceptor being the...
I have a set very similar to these. They are large and make it very easy to see what is sneaking up on you. Cabela's -- Deluxe Handlebar Mirror
Well, I finally got the time to get the valve-covers off, really not too bad to get into for a valve adjust in the future methinks, comes apart...
Listening to as many vintage v4's as I could find on youtube, I tend to concur. Still, it is up in the air with the body work, tank etc off...
Nah, I'm not going to sell it. If I was, it wouldn't already be half dis-assembled up on the lift already. Have to say, I'm loving that lift....
Oh, I'm sure it will be. I think finding more bench space may be harder than pulling the motor tho'! Price you pay for having a 24 year old bike
Clymer manual keeps re-iterating if you have to pull the cams, pull the motor so I guess that will be the plan. I have the factory manual too....
Yeah, those were the ones I put on my bandit and yeah, they were expensive and that was for only two of them, not three! Anyhow, back to the...
Yip, I've been following that thread. Good tip there on the rotors. A cat sprayed mine and I didn't notice it until too late. Etched them...

Ah, a goose chase just makes it all the more fun. I've got three other bikes to ride while I baby this one. I'm a fair mechanic and I've got two...
Doesn't have a valve like sound, it's not a tapping/clattering sound. But, once I have it up in the air on my hoist, those will obviously get...
Just curious here. I've got an 86 miniceptor and the noises from the motor are starting to concern me. The top end sound fine, no noise there....
okay, won the auction for the rear wheel last night, but missed the front. I guess I'm committed to this upgrade.
Ooh, I think I'm on board for this,... I've already looked up the rims. This would be for a 86 VF500 so any recommendations on the rear shock?
How does swapping the wheels to 17" front and back affect the geometry and handing of the bike? Seems the front would come up and the back down...
I just bought the bike today, but don't pick it up for another two weeks, so I can't get pictures of it. But it simply looks like any other vf500...
Posting here as the traffic seems higher. Would anyone know of a set of frame sliders for an 86 VF500? Or even pics of something someone may...
