Thanks all,

Have been extremely busy work etc...I'll try to get pix and stuff when I get a chance.

I'm currently waiting on a caliper (any day now) so I can finally ride this thing out on US1 instead of the neighborhood.

Have been a fan since I was a teenager of the VF.

Looks like a very nice restoration, congratulations.

Thanks

My brother found this bike on craigslist in Cocoa (Fl). It had been sitting for a long time, but it was all there and all stock. Didnt take alot to get it running, just alot of touch up cosmetics. You can see the little things up close, but I wasnt looking to make it a "new" bike again. Just look good and ride.
Hell, it may be retro if your under 30 but this bike was the chit in 83 (I was 15) .
