    My buddy has a 1985 Interceptor 750 on it's way out.

    Engine is really noisey and and it's burning oil and what not.

    What is interchangeable from his bike to mine if he scraps it?

    I'm mainly looking at his exhaust/cans.

    Virtually nothing....:frown:

    The VF750F was a new bike from the ground up in 83 (borrowing engine design and concept from the Magna a Sabre series), the VF500 was a punched out Japan spec VF400.

    I don't think even the mufflers will fit.

    Someone with a bit more experience with the "mini-ceptors" can chime in here.....
