In this case I have an 85 engine in a 84-5 frame. Not much 86 left on this bike! The engine, tank, frame, not sure what else are 84-5. I guess...
SHE MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.....Well it turns out I have 86 VF500F with an 84-85 frame! I tried to mount the 86 left side subframe and it will...
The only thing I can think of is take the line to an auto parts store and see if they will let you walk around the store room. It is amazing what...
From what I can tell, the 86 tank also has a heat shield on the bottom of the tank. This was not found on the 84-5 models.
Thanks for the feedback on the RED KOTE. 99% of the reviews are positive so I am sure it was a curing problem that got me. I have another can of...
Good point, I also assumed a good long run was ahead for the VF500F but with Kawasaki introducing the Ninja 600 the writing was on the wall. I...
$100 later and I have my heads back after the RED KOTE fuel tank liner debacle. That stuff dissolved into the fuel so good it coated all of the...

It's been a while but I am pretty sure the inner cable can slide right out of the outer housing. Unhook the it from the drive side and it should...
Are the boots different? I have a set of 86 carbs on my 85 engine and the 84-5 boots fit perfect. Are the 86 heads that different? If so I am...
Matt can you slide the cable all the way out of the cable housing? Perhaps the inner cable has a burr on it and it caught itself on the inner...
With Rock it can be hit or miss on the older stuff. It seems that they buy up NOS parts and sometimes don't so a good job identifying what they...
Yeah, I have spent a ton of money over the years with RockAuto. The are really easy to work with. I hope they get in the motorcycle game also!
New Tire Day! While waiting on the heads and radiator to be done, decided to put on a new tire. [ATTACH] I am no one trick pony! I can screw...
Regarding that cylinder ring, I wish I would have kept one of the OEM '85 gaskets I took off. I am now curious if Honda did round or notched...
