All good Cap'n, I appreciate you looking out for us poor souls with VF500's!
The MOD I did to the clutch basket actually worked. Very little clutch drag and the bike shifts verrry nice. Not sure how long this will last....
Oh, man I really appreciate the effort! I have concerns though. That basket looks like it has the same indentations from the disks that my...
Man, that would be awesome, hopefully it is in good shape. The other engine I had for parts (VF500C) was in terrible shape.
I raced several CR125's in the 80's and that ATAC was a pain in the rear. It was mechanical (non electric) on the dirt bikes but needed constant...
WOW, that is awesome. I have never seen one of those in N. America. Reading the thread now!
I can't get a break. Finally after MONTHS of work and waiting I an ready to ride and then it rains for like the 1st time in a month! Oh well......
The one on the bike was slightly better and I ended up filing it. There was a really good write up on this from Mikey30006 back in 2015. I am...
Norcal...that is the spare basket I pulled out of the attic. I figured it was a waste case. Confirmed. I guess I will have to pull the clutch...
CLUTCH IS DRAGGING. Now that the gas tank debacle is in the rear view mirror, I need to tackle a lingering problem. The bike is really hard to...
Obligatory AFTER picture. Can't really see it but it is like a glass coating. I am glad I did research, one kit was barely enough to do this one...
Thanks! Any advice is helpful. Don't want to screw this up.
It took a while but acetone finally took out 99% of the REDKOTE from the tank. I ordered up a Caswell's kit and will give it a go tomorrow!...
They are "OK" quality, not great, not horrible. I used them on my 5th gen VFR for both the headset and the fork seals. I did not have any issues,...
Welcome! Best bike I have owned by far....5th gen!
Well, it looks like Acetone takes off Redkote pretty well.....$35.00 worth of Redkote and $17.00 of Acetone....what a waste of time this...
You can, but it is not the same strength as the "Good Old Days" Thank goodness. You also used to be able to buy carbon tetrachloride (which...
That's the problem, I DO care. That is why this is so difficult. The City of Houston will take waste MEK or Acetone but they only accept it 2...
I know you are right and I will probably go this route. I just need to figure out what is better, MEK or Acetone. I think Home Depot sells...
