1986 VFR Restoreof Japanes import

155mm long. Little bit of camera effect on tape, verified. Height of "HONDA", black edge to black edge is 23mm.


110mm total height. Top of my tape looks out of position... it is not. Camera effect and tape hovering a bit. I verified again conforming the tape to the tank.


Wing position/length in relation to "HONDA"

 

Thank you very much mate!Very appreciated!

 

reckon this is close to Original, Thanks for the measurements Cap

 

Much better.

Final note: Centers of letters and spaces between are not "open", they are filled.

But I suspect this is just for general layout and sizing, the painter will execute properly.

 

Ok, slowly getting there..
Layouts done, subframe arrives so its on, and whoop whoop , the fuel pump is pumping and no longer leaking fuel

My eye is immediately drawn to the black border between the top of the D and A... It does not go straight across like your layout.





The only place the border doesn't contour around letters, that isn't directly below the wing, is the top between the N and D.

Where the black border of the wing meets the letters also needs a radiused transition.

 

Slowly gettingvthere

 

Mate of mine did some printing

Painter sent me a teaser...

 

For the life of me i cannot remember what this connects to (plug under the rivits)

Everything else is together... igntion on and i get no pump noise and the start button does nothing.... solenoid?

Mightbbe the battery is waaaay to low

 

#4 ignition coil ?

 

I assume you meant that yours is black & white, judging from your pictures. Upon examining the original document, it was mistranslated; it is supposed to say black & white (like yours), not yellow & white.

Ok, some news, she is turning over beautifully, New solenoid connected!

Still can't figure out that thagt 2 pin plug by the rivit plate is for? I thought coils but they go straight into the loom.

No fireing at all, even on a jerry tank, I suspect i havet the coil connectors wrong
I put the colored wired to the green connector and the white and black to the black connector on the coils, but from what i can find this is wrong?

 

TX mate, I downloaded from somewhere the European wiring diagram, In german and italian but color designations seem right, will cross reference

 

1986, correct?

Cam Pulser (Cam Position), from the rear of the front head under the carbs.

The location seems right and that would explain no firing.

EDIT: Nah. Plug location seems wrong. Pretty sure that goes towards the battery along with the Pulse Generators.

 

Been futzing with the decals we got, complete rubbish, so annoyed by them, even the fonts are wrong, so doing a mix and match to get as close as possible(bloody stickers were serious money to get delivered here )
The painter has been fanstastic, I've been trying to get him fonts etc, he has also repaired the broken bits on mine, but he stays 100s of miles away so its a not just a matter of showing what is wrong
My mate has the same bike and is doing his at the same time (will be chatting to him about where these wires go, and might get his help on the weekend if i dont come right
(I'm useless with electrics)

 

I can't stand when the font is off and it wasn't something I chose or bought off on. Sorry dude. Who did them?

 

Yeah, luckily my mate and i split the cost, So around $225 dollars each. Luckily the striping looks right so he will use it as a stencil and spray the whole lot
I'll get the guys name, I didnt see it mentioned here...
