I've found a nearly complete 500 locally being sold as parts. It has rebuilt calipers, new pads, and decent rotors for less than the cost of picking up new rotors, so I will almost certainly go for it. But I was wondering if anybody was looking for anybody in particular. If I weren't so lazy/desirous of spares for my bike, I could probably get it put together and sell it for a massive profit. But, it's pretty much a complete bike, so if anybody needs anything at all, I could likely provide.
I have been looking on E Bay for 2 months for a stock windscreen to fit the upper fairing if my 86 VF500 F and have not seen one. The last one sold was back in December for $35 in good shape. I would gladly pay that plus actual shipping cost for one as long as it doesn't have any cracks or broken sections. Some scratches or hazyness would not matter to me my bike is no beauty. I would greatly appreciate you helping me out on this if it isn't too much trouble and the shipping from Canada to Florida isn't more than $25 or so. Thanks! Jay
Hi Outis, I greatly appreciate your quick reply. I am going to pass on the shock. My 86 VF500 F has only 15000 miles and the shock is totally shot; so unless you had personally ridden the parts bike recently and knew for sure that the shock was working well I wouldn't want to take a chance on it. The windscreen though, that would be great if it is free of breaks and cracks and I could get it from you for $60.00 USD including shipping and any duty. It is light but bulky so I don't know if we can do it for $60.00, but if so send me a photo and if all looks OK I'll Pay Pal you the money. Thanks for taking the time to help me out! Jay
i need the "lower cowl" or "chin" fairing (the small pointy looking one that directs air onto the radiator, its usually white and sometimes says 'vfour' on the side) if it has it, let me know how much to new jersey (07901), id need the hardware as well! i appreciate it in advance, i really truly do!
