Greetings folks, Thought I'd drop everyone a line and let you know where things are going on my VF500F. I've purchased a used rear wheel via eBay to replace the bent one. I hope to have it by next week and get it on the bike asap. The local Honda shop charges $20 to move the tire to the new wheel and balance it. I've also purchased the brake pads, fork seal and cover for the right fork. Once I get the wheel on I'm going to get going on that. If all goes well I'll be able to ride during my xmas vacation! (provided mother nature doesn't intervene). Thanks again for everyone's help!
