The OE VF500F shock is LONG. The F2 or F3 shock must have an extension piece added for more length as well as to change the way it mounts. I...
Try as I may, I can't seem to find this info. A good friend of mine has a varied collection of Penske and Wilber's shocks in his possession from...
The 1986 did not have candy colors, at least not in the US market. Candy Aleutian Blue was an '84 color and maybe an '85 color.
I have a salvege titled 2003 SV1000 that I bought to use for the engine. I wonder if that would fit in a VF500F frame? It's ~110hp rear wheel in...
I've searched and found no pics. I'm not looking to gut a set of VF500 mufflers and terrorize the planet rather remove part of it and replace it...
Most of the stuff I get from WalMart works just fine and they get all their stuff from China. Good to know though that these are not first rate...

So what spring rate have y'all used and like when converting to either the F2 or YZF front ends? The F2 is close to the OE VF500F spring rate of...

I have a copy of the Factory Service Manual that came with my bike. It has a few errors I've already found in the short time I've owned it....
Man, yer a friggin' artist! I really love all that you've done with yer 500, except maybe the length of the swingarm. Here is an idea that would...
How did he go about it? Worm gear? Lever? We had a retired Muzzy Raptor at the shop I used to work for. It had a nifty lever type clutch...
I realize the hot setup is to swap for a F2 or F3 front end but I'm wonderin' what y'all have done to the OE forks and how it turned out. What...
Did you figure out the ticking noise? My '84 has a ticking noise from idle to redline. Valves adjusted, replaced the front exhaust cam, checked...
