1986 vfr750 refit

VFRSALLY · 11-12-2008, 07:25 AM

I am in the process of scavenging ebay and Clist for parts and refitting my 750r.
I am on the second fairing set "ouch", going on 3rd. looking at Colbalt FG sets. But I have had my "smashed fuse box" ty-wrapped under the windshield for a year. Scored a replacement off ebay !! (21.00 w/shipping)
BUT it doesnt see to fit ... The "smashed and new" are same form factor .. but the way I remember it going together .... stacked into the ignition / triple tree ... doesn't add up.
Seems simple but it was a three Margarita nite and my mad skills seemed to let me down. I have factory manual ... no help there.

SO I have the forks out, (for revalve and seal) the order of assembly and how the fuse assy. sits into the triple tree is my dilemma. I can take a pic tonite ... but some of you wise VFR's will be able to talk this cat down out of the tree.

BTW - The 1986 750 eats othe vfr's for breakfast. every time !

Hi Sally,

Here's an '86 VFR700 I have.
Not exactly sure what swaps between em'.
Went down on her left side.
See anything you need?

Sally,
Here's what I got.
Is this what you speak of?

I gotta go to work, I'll check back later.

VFRSALLY · 11-13-2008, 08:27 AM

GREAT pics ..
It looks the same ... MY top clamp is NOT alum its Painted ... It looks similar .. BUT I will compare when I get back to the apt. Does the fuse assy. fasten directly to the top clamp?

VFRSALLY · 11-13-2008, 08:30 AM

Is it fastened in this pick (not bent or crashed) seems like the fitiment around those ears has a large gap ...

RottenJohnny · 11-13-2008, 08:32 AM

Sally,

I think so.
I believe the two inset nuts are fastened from the backside.
I'll stand on my head when I get home and have a look see.

The only damage to that part of the bike that I am aware of is the snapped off fork tube.
Speedo has a doinked edge too.

The fuse block is secure. I'll give it the hairy eyeball later.

I have more photos. E-mail? Some other way if you think I'm a stalker?

XS650RR · 11-13-2008, 07:13 PM

RJ .... Would you consider selling the rad and the front fairing bracket ??...

RottenJohnny · 11-13-2008, 07:20 PM

Ian,

If I can determine that they are good I will.

After all, you turned me on to this site from the ZRXOA

The rad has a scuff/dent on the LH side of it.

No green blood coming out.

I can get some pics to you.

RJ

RottenJohnny · 11-13-2008, 07:51 PM

Ian,

Here's what I got for pics right now.
I think that's the fairing bracket you want.

I can get more pics if you want em'.

Need anything else?
May as well fill a Christmas box for my Cousin Ian in Canada. Eh?

I'm keeping a few things. But most is up for grabs.

RJ

XS650RR · 11-16-2008, 06:36 PM

RJ .... drop me an email with a cost, are you willing to let the Yosh go as well ??

Hey Johnny, I'd like to have your chain guard and associated fasteners if they're not screwed up too bad. PM me.
