vf500f rebuild

About right, ;-)

The FSM notes the intervals.

 

Wow... the rise in the rear end after the shock coversion is huge. There is daylight there!

Does anybody know is that somewhere near factory stock height before all the stockers started sagging??? Or higher?

 

Whats with the exhaust silencers being capped off there, is that some legislation on emissions or something.
Looking good though nicely done. I would have thought that the increase in rear ride height would massively increase the steering speed, which is already pretty quick.

 

They are not capped...they are trapped. SuperTrapped SuperTrapp: Performance Exhaust

 

I think I need to make the kick stand longer... It leans over too far imo, will another type of kick stand from honda fit? any ideas?

 

its higher then factory for sure, i had to remove my center stand because it was a half inch off the ground.

 

How does it handle now?

 

Much better, very easy turn in and very stable in the corners. Only woe is the kickstand and the sticky clutch when its cold, but for a 28 year old bike thats not too bad.
