Hi all , I've been using this page to troubleshoot my ride for a while , figure it's time to introduce myself. I've been rebuilding an 85 vf750f I picked up really cheap and disassembled for easy transport! Found a thread for pretty much every roadblock I hit , with great tips and warnings that allowed me to avoid severe fuckups. Last bike I owned ( before wife got knocked up ) was my beloved 73 Suzuki gs750 ..the waterbuffallo . So lots of the tech on an 85 superbike was new to me . Well, thanks to the bunch here and some great utube vids , I've been screaming this beast around the mountains for the last two months , getting home with shit eating grin every time ! Since the rainy season started here , I've stripped it down again in order to do the cosmetics. Just finished sanding the black spray job some inbred applied , am repainting it factory colours ( white,red,blue stripe ) and then maybe some decals. Can't wait to ride this sweet thing in it's original beauty ! Will post pics once it's back together.
Welcome to The World! I think some before and after photos along with posting your refresh will be a good way to payback the forum.
Ok, here's the bike after assembly / rebuild and spending a few weekends getting running right. The grinning idiot is me , I'd taken it down some empty country roads and wound it all the way up .... an hour later I still couldn't stop grinning like a disturbed chimp
