Hi guys, I am a new member to this forum as well as the biking community in general. I bought my VF500F because the price was right and it ran very well. The more I ride it, the more I love it. My friends say that it makes a good starter bike, but I think I would rather continue riding my Interceptor. I love to modify things, bikes I have never done before, to improve them. I would like to know what you all know that has been done and proven successful with no ill side effects and if possible, how to do it or where I could get it done. Here are a few things that I can think of right off that I would love to do to my wonderful bike. * Wider Rear Tire - What wheels work best and what width can I take it too. * Muffler - Any 4 - 1 recommendations that would make it sound quiet and fierce? * Lower Front Fairing - Has anyone seen any full front fairing upper and lower fairing replacements from other bikes that can be minimally modified to fit? Spec II seems to be the best aftermarket lower fairing from what I have read on this forum. I have not seen a pic yet. Can anyone confirm? * Instrument Cluster - Would like to go with a digital instrument cluster. Any recommendations on one that could be switched to it from another bike? What pitfalls would I face if trying to transplant from another bike? Could changing the whole triple tree be advantageous in such an undertaking? * Engine Modifications - I understand that there is a jetting kit that would allow my bike to operate more smoothly and efficiently. Is there also some other engine modifications that I could do later that would greatly increase performance? My mom's boyfriend may have been confused but he has told me that there was an interceptor that he had worked on that Honda donated to his class when he was in school that was turbo'd engine. Has anyone heard of this and would it be possible to do that to this engine? Would aid in fuel economy...haha. I am sure that there are more questions that I can come up with, but I will stop for now. Thank you all for your help and be safe out there.
