Yes and no...- according to the OEM part numbers - the front head gaskets are the same (part no. 12251-MJ8-306) for all three years, the rear head...
Nice! On that note a pair of '86 head gaskets are up on eBay right now... Item no. 260634674684
Well noted. Happy to hear that you've crossed the finish line on your F2 rear wheel conversion - it was quite a marathon! Time for a new thread...
It's an aesthetic call here - but I think that the wheel designs should match. If you go with an F2 rim, up front, you'll need to machine the hub...
5x5. Are you going to install a 17" wheel up front?
Well, this is good news at least! On side note - are you running a radial in the back and a bias ply up front? - I'm not sure where you left of...

Not so much a fan of plastic, for fuel tanks, but aluminum or stainless could be interesting...
Thanks, I do remember seeing a sketch you did awhile back which was helpful. I am hoping to find a fuel tank that is a bit too far gone - to cut...
Please keep us posted on how the tech goes about sealing the tank - the VF500F's design has some tricky spaces inside - i.e. the lower rear...
The depth of the machined slot is 2.4mm greater than the depth of the swingarm tab. [IMG] One thought would be to remove a bit more material...
I'll give it a go.
Great news, indeed! The world seems a bit more in balance when another VF500F roars to life. Kudos!
Good deal! Glad this gremlin has moved on.
Good deal on the title - glad you were able to work this out with the DMV. On V-Four carburetors - I'd recommend Mike Nixon's primer 'Cleaning...
Great find - Thx for the post! I'm particularly smitten with this drawing: [IMG] Have you contacted them about supplying valves/springs...
