    Hello folks,

    I picked up an '83 Honda VF750F at the advice of a friend who said the power band/torque curve would be friendly to a first time racer on the track. The bike has been painted this awful teal colour, and needs a new shift spring. The bike has sat for a few years so once the shift spring has been replaced I can start working on getting it running again!

    This winter I don't plan to do too much, gloss white paint, maybe some black stripes, suspension overhaul, new tires, D&T oil mod (I may suprise you how I do that), and start planning to wire the bike.

    Thanks for looking, I'm sure you'll see me in the garage!:eagerness:

    -Lute

    Welcome aboard! Pictures of your ride are pretty much standard fare for introduction post. I'm sure you'll find the answers you need if you stick around.

    Cheers!

    Alright, I'm just going to post some pictures of the bike the day I got it back to the shop. All the other pictures will go in some kind of restoration thread I will make later.
