Update, Update, any kind of service was never performed on this bike. It's a Honda, it's supposed to run forever.
Oh.... one other thing... Are you checking your float heights with the carbs completely flipped over on a bench? You have to rotate the carbs...
Are you ABSOLUTELY sure it is the bowls leaking? And not a fuel tube above them? If the floats don't have fuel in them, then they are fine. You...
Now you can put some fresh (cheap) oil in and personally hear what someone else thinks is "bad".
Sometimes things are done for looks. And you know what? It's fucking cool. As long as you don't go backwards in performance. And no, the tire...
Let me see if the Hyperco spring has any markings on it to identify the spring rate.
More like frame off. It lifts off the engine pretty easily. Get the exhaust off and the oil pan will sit nicely on a flat surface. I add thick...

My buddy just adapted an 87 CBR600F rear wheel and disc brake to his 1990. Looks killer.
No, not that I know of the last time I looked. You want to buy from this seller, biketyresuk. They are the eBay store front for the UK YSS R&D...

This is the VF500F shock modded from an F2. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I think this was possibly an earlier shock, as the mods...
Hah! Yeah, someone sent me that already. But they know what they got, and it's actually not in the ridiculous range for a brand new Fox TC, imo....
Yessir.
Do you run GP shift pattern? 1 up, 5 down?
You might be surprised... Sometimes when breakers tear them down, they don't know what it is and just list it as a "Interceptor 500 shock"....
I'll post up some pics later. The machining is not that complicated, but work holding to be square and your passes are fairly critical for an...
I have a DMR F2 shock for the VF500. The mod style should be identical. It is on a shelf and I can take some pics later.
I COVER my bike in old blankets/towels anytime a res cap comes off for any reason. Doesn't matter how outlandish something may seem, when brake...
I can buy a bike that has flaws and it mostly doesn't bother me. But when I'm "responsible", regardless of the circumstances, you have to put me...
