    Got a lead on a full lower for a 1st gen. But the seller is not sure if they are for a 700 or 500. Hoping one of the Gurus here can help me out.
    Thanks

    I happen to own a 1985 VF700F and that is definitely not the cowl I have on my bike.

    It seems to me to be an aftermarket cowl and probably was a full fairing that had a mid piece above it too.
    It doesn't really look like it'll mount to the VF700F but I'm far from an expert.

    It doesn't look right for the 500. The mount hole in the middle doesn't correspond with any mounting point on the bike, it doesn't utilize the forward lower cowl mounts (which it should since there are only so many places to secure it), amongst other things.

    I wouldn't guess any of the VF's. The cutout on the side looks like it's for an inline, possibly an older GS(1150 maybe?), FZ, or similar.

    These are lowers for a 1st gen 750. Big difference.[​IMG]
