I kind of think they are/are not interchangeable. What I mean by this is that the mid-'84,'85 and '86 front heads appear (based on the same...
Welcome to the group! VF500F's are great bikes --- but --- they have to be maintained. As a first step - inspect and adjust the valves. This is...
Looks like a well maintained VFR750. Colorado is a bit out of my range (I'm on the East Coast) but it is nice to see there are good deals out...
The power of positive thinking ;)
P.M. sent. Thx!
I certainly wouldn't want to leave the '86 contingent out...If someone has an '86 donor set (really they only need one head - front or rear - to...
The valve springs are out there - i.e. VTR250 springs should work for the '84/'85 VF500F (same OEM part number). It only will take a donor head...
Good deal Slow. I'm glad you found a trustworthy tech who has a working knowledge of the VF500F. I think you have a great strategy. Take...
5x5 thanks for the clarification Tink. Megacycle, as noted, offers both hardfaced cams and rockers for the VF500F. They are pricey though...$598...
Well noted post Tink. I would tend to agree that the cam lobe issue is not related to the lower compression reading. Also, I agree - the lifters...
Thanks for the update. Are you installing the F2 triple tree and the F2 forks as well? I've read that the forks are too short in length and...
Gasket is fine for now...any idea of what you would like to get for this? Thx!
I may be eventually - might make a switch to an '86 pan w/ higher output oil pump (requires the '86 set of headers too). But, I'm also a bit of a...
I'm interested in the oil pan gasket...is this still on the table?
Also to consider - a 120 front tire is too wide for the stock fender and requires a bit of zip-tie stretching to fit.
Correct - the F wheel does not require machining of rim (this is where the rotors mount) as the stock rotor spacing matches the VF500F front...
5x5, thanks for checking.
Interested in the gasket - do you have the OEM part number handy? Thx!
Thank you sir! I appreciate the compliment. I've been following your VFR750 project bike. Looks like some top shelf work going on in Colorado!
The front Hurricane CBR600F wheel does not require machining of the rim for the brake rotor spacing as does the F2 - though not a deal breaker it...
Separate names with a comma.
