I think a 150/70-17 is a good choice for the 'F2' wheel and a 140/80-17 for the 'F' wheel.
Thank you for the post. This is a good start for owners working on a 17" wheel conversion. On a side note - the calculations need to consider...
Not to be boorish but I am not sure 'stable' is a the correct adjective here - this tire profile will negatively affect the handling of the bike.
From what I have read, the CDI ignition modules have a lower rev limit on the '86 compared to the '84/'85. I believe the lower rev limit was...
I'm not sure about the '86 - they may have modified the frame at this point. I'd check to see if there is a drain hole added in the location...
Frame Drilling Service Bulletin for the VF500F [IMG]
Thank you for the FYI. While I personally have had good experience with Dyna's coils (on a CB400F project bike I completed a few years back) I...
Thank you for the post. I also heard back from the tech at Dyna - "The difference between the 2.8 and 3.0 ohm in the coils is nothing to be...
Okay, I'm adding a disclaimer here - I am in no way an electrical engineer - this said, the VF500F uses a capacitor discharge ignition (or CDI)...
Apologies if I'm being daft here but I want to double check - on Accel's web site there are two choices (from what I've noted) 3 Ohm Inductive p/n...
Thank you for the post. Do I have the Accel specification correct - you are using 3 Ohm inductive coils paired with 8.8 stainless/silver-plated...
Good deal! I'm glad to read that the front fork rebuild worked out okay. A thought on the rear shock - perhaps you could locate copy of a...
I am a big fan of the VF500F. This said my research into custom valve kits, hard-faced cams and rockers - parts only - is easily in the $1500...
Sounds like an interesting project - please post a few photos when you have a chance. I've read in previous posts that front end swaps are a...
Thank you for the post. Your coil upgrade is interesting. If I could ask - could you post the specifications on the coils (primary and...
No worries - and thank you for the post. I agree that thread-jacking isn't the best but sometimes very good information comes out of it. On a...
Respectfully - I am not sure how asking Hopit88 for Billy Carr's contact information should be considered as rude. I can see your point that I...
Yoshimura 4-2 Update Well...it doesn't look like there are enough interested owners out there for a 4-2 Yoshimura re-issue - so I think this idea...

Thank you for the post Jamie. Could I ask, are the Accel coils typically paired with suppressive core wire? I've read mixed reviews on this type...
