That is an absolutely gorgeous 500! I know what you mean about the :smile:, I can't wipe the grin off when I am on mine.
Well, the starter button on my 500 has not been right since I got it running. It would not return to the run position after starting the engine. I...
I have both '86 side covers, $35 for the RH, $50 for both.
No offense meant, had to start someplace. Make an offer.
Thanks for prodding my memory IC, I rembered participating in that thread but was too lazy to look it up. Gonna put the tank back on the '85 and...
Was hoping that the '86 petcock could be adapted to the '85 tank....no way Hose-A. The mounting holes are spaced differently and are at different...
I will be keeping the '86 engine to swap into my '85 over the winter.

I recently picked up a pretty rough '86 VF500F, 12K on the odometer, I will be salvaging it. Short list of items that I will be keeping: 1....
I just took a look at my '85 and also an '86 that I am salvaging, the cover at the closest point to the frame is 3/8", that is at the juncture of...
If it is just the clearcoat that is scuffed or scratched, white polishing compound such as Formula 1 Scratch Out or 3M polishing compound will do...
Good news.
Baker VF500....Interesting that you found the tensioners at Western Hills Honda in Cincinnati. This dealer is located about 30 minutes from me, I...
