Nice work! What is the skinny on the seat/tail section?
Any chance for a photo or two?
Please keep us posted on what Ferrea Racing Components has to say - hopefully they have had some experience working on VF500F engines.
Any chance for a photo or two? If of help, here is a photo of the modified F4i shock - with longer reservoir hose - sans bike: [IMG]
Yes, as part of the F4i conversion Jamie added this fitting along with a longer reservoir hose. This gives a few more options for the placement...
Not sure the CBR600F2 shock is a bolt and go. I did run into a similar issue with an F4i shock conversion for my '84 - the reservoir hose needed...
Thank you for the post and the links. Yes, I read the same specification that a 160 may or may not fit (depending on the manufacturer and the...
Thank you for the post. If I could ask, regarding your CBR600F2 rear wheel conversion - what tire size will you be selecting? Have you dialed...
Thank you for the post. These are very clear photos of what can go very wrong when a VF500F engine isn't maintained. Do you know the mileage on...
Here are the specifications from the Honda Service Manuals: '87 CBR600F Hurricane [IMG] [IMG] '84 Honda VF500F: [IMG] [IMG]

I gave this some more thought – not that you want to read this, I am sure, but it may be a good idea to start looking for a smaller width rear...
Actually I double checked on the DMr website - it is 16/43 for the '86 model year (16/44 for the '84/'85). This said it may be best to switch...
The DMr F2 conversion notes a sprocket combination is 16T/44T - can you swap out the 41T for a 44T to see if this helps with the clearance on the...
Would the 16/41 combo cause a clearance issue with the chain slider? I'm not sure what to think about the brake pads being partially off of the...
Thank you for posting the photos. These are very informative and clearly show the issues you have mentioned. Perhaps another VF500F owner, with...
Interesting post - have you approached Ferrea Racing Components with finding a match to the stock valves and the inner and outer valve springs?
I too am a fan of thrift and would agree that it is important to have a realistic set of goals when working on a vintage bike. Still, from the...
This build is definitely some Must See TV. I am looking forward to seeing what you decide on for the final paint scheme - can't go wrong with the...
I think 'officially' this decal is used on the Candy Alamoana Red with Black and Shasta White model. On a side note, I have not found a...
