Looks right, VF500F '84/'85 intake 14711-KE8-000 and exhaust 14721-KM3-000 '86 intake 14711-KV0-700 and exhaust 14721-KM3-000 VTR250...
True indeed the '84/'85 and '86 VF500F engines have chain driven cams - but - why the bad press on this design?
5x5. I have read that installing a set of 'early' carbs on the '86 is a quick and easy way to add HP but I tend to agree with you - in the sense...
Well,,,you can graft an '84/'85 head onto an '86 - at least this is the word on the street - so this should open up more options for '86 owners....
Sage advice!
When you have a chance could you take a side elevation from a bit further back? Aesthetics are always a bit subjective but I would tend to...
Great news! & congrats on getting the engine running! Hope the compression tests level out for you. Re. the NLA engine components: I have...
The noted depth (17.74mm) seems about right based on what our computer model shows (I'll have to pull my wheel to verify the dimensions on my...
Sure enough!
The swingarm tab dimensions that we used as reference point for my wheel conversion are: 17mm wide x 18.5 mm deep. My friend Rick Denoon modeled...
Thanks for the post. Is the clearance conflict - when cornering - closer to the rear wheel then?
From an empirical viewpoint, the dimensions I have noted are: 17mm wide x 18.5 mm deep.
Thanks for the post. I guess in part the trick to sourcing an aftermarket exhaust system, for the VF500F, is to find out - if at all possible...
Interesting note - from this I would say that Hindle did design a 4-1 to fit the '86 (and its deeper oil pan) then.
An update on the gasket pattern research. A seller on eBay (located in the UK) is listing the hereto unavailable OEM Gasket Kit 'A' for the '84...
Worth a try!
Very much appreciated! You will need to remove the wheel though to accomplish this.
Two bikes, right? Moose's was a non-flier as well - IIRC, when you tried the install the kit on his bike you encountered the same issue with...
Glad this is of help. Perhaps we could cajole Moose to get out the old digital caliper for a dimension check? I would wager the tabs are the...
Thank you for the compliment. The carrier is actually in two parts, the slot is machined as a separate piece and then mechanically fastened to...
