tank

I just bought a tank off ebay for a 84 vf500 with shipping $65.. got to keep looking my friend.

rust in tank. remove tank, drain, put some stones in it and shake the tar out of it. rinse and do it again. then get a quality tank coating. read directions and go for it.

I found a quality, durable epoxy coating: "epoxy gas tank sealer"

www.caswellplating.com

Worked well and easy to use, far better than "Kreem"

I have started buying parts for my VFR. The Honda-direct link I posted on page 1 does not have some parts due to them being discontinued. The radiator hoses, mid fairing stays, and I think the upper cowl dzus fastners are not available from this source. Hope I can find this stuff somewhere.

Thanks, I checked the site out and their prices are the same or a little cheaper. I'll send in an order and see if they have the stuff I need. Dave.

The VFR700 and 750 parts should be interchangeable except some of the colors and stickers. Talk to vfr chuck he can make you a nice white ready to paint full body set for a good price.
