What about a whole F3 front end? The fork tubes are 41mm (VF500 is 37mm) and offer damping adjustment. I put these legs and cartridge dampers in...
Thanks for the information... I did find the build link after all (4 pages) and I must say I admire your work and craftsmanship! I hope my mod...
Very cool bike! I couldn't find a build archive... please point me there or provide all the details, particularly on the VF1000R wheel swap. Yours...
I was thinking that originally too, but if you look at the VF500F tank, it actually hangs out past the frame and even covers it by quite a bit...
Just ordered these 37mm clipons to go under the upper triple clamp. Nice thing is they also adjust up & down for angle... very important for...
Thanks, these are the sellers I mentioned that won't reply to my several messages asking them to consider shipping to the USA. I gave up on them,...
I think I'm going to use a '91-'92 Kawasaki ZX7R fuel tank. I traced one in PhotoShop, scaled it (using the bike wheelbases) and superimposed it...
I just tried putting the stock clip-ons under the upper triple... it's a PITA, have to remove the calipers & speedo cable to drop the forks enough...
Haven't received it yet. It's on a slow boat from China, and was carried over the Himalayas on camel-back. I hope it's decent... the seller was...
Thanks for the encouraging comments! I hope it won't be too hard to do. The $125 bike I bought was basically stripped of these body parts anyway...
Hey guys, I have these two VF500F's (85 & 86) and I was going to do a VF500F2 replica, but changed my mind (order cancelled) I have been busy...
OK... it's clear I like the original VF500F2 lower fairing and upper a whole lot. But, in the interest of time, style and economics I decided to...
It was offered but we both decided that it was too risky that it might be damaged in the slightest way in my handling of it, or in the shipment...
Project is on hold until I get some good photos, measurements & tracing from another forum member. I plan on making my pattern a little different...
Thanks, I went there and found a pair of gold wings fairly close in size to the original, and I also ordered the big white H O N D A lettering for...
Hi guys, the '86 tank wing is a metallic yellowish gold wing color... not solid yellow like the dirt bike stickers I've seen. Guess I'll just...
Cheers... yeah, I need ANOTHER bike like I need a hole in my head!! BUT... I couldn't NOT buy it for this (negotiated) price!! If it didn't run,...
Okay. I've searched the archives and the ENTIRE internet (I think) and I can't find replacement tank decals for the '86 VF500F. (part#s...
Update... and another VF500F rises from the barn! Still no action on the VF500FII fairing from Nationals Fiberglass. He's got a day job now and...
