Don't go with a 160, that's too wide for the rim. A 150 is ok but doesn't really give you any better handling - it's not any appreciable amount...
The VF750F is a great bike. You'd find that it has a lot more power than your 500 but also a lot more bulk. The handling isn't nearly as good,...
Zero! In fact, I usually have some rolled-up rubber coming off the edge. That's only from track use, on the street I leave maybe 5mm at most.
Designing a V4 system is extremely difficult to do. Many people think an equal length header is the way to go - in fact that only works for an...
Many parts are discontinued, but it's best to try anyway. This spring I bought both vent doors for the lower fairing but the springs and misc...
That's a good price because he'll never get that work done in only 4 hours.
Most of the parts interchange between the two. They are 90%+ the exact same bike. While the parts are exactly the same, they still interchange.
No, it really doesn't have anything to do with the air crossover. Check on RaceTech's website (Race Tech Suspension) and you should find a lot of...
Welcome to the forum! eBay is going to be your friend. It's nice to toss out WTB requests but often it's easier to watch eBay until a set...
"Are you a doctor?" "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
The bike I was referring to is my SuperHawk, my older VF's don't have center stands because I pull them off.
You know Matt.... it sure looks like that's a solo cowl for a VF700F and not a 500. It would use the standard seat lock on the 700/750. Bummer.
500 tanks won't fit, but the 700/750's might with a little work.
Is your bike an F or R? The F's were not sold in the US in 85 but they were in Canada. I'm just wondering. Another idea would be to try a R...
Some folks have done this, but it takes quite a bit of fabrication work. There is nothing that fits directly.
That looks perfect to me.
.......and here I am wanting to make my kickstand longer because my bike sits over too far. It might be because I'm +50mm or so on the rear...
No, those forks won't work on your bike. It's more involved than just the wheel, the VF's use really long forks and anything newer/better is...
Post up some pictures so we can take a look! Maybe someone out there has used a similar cowl before and can shed some light on it.
Matt - A quick search should reveal a lot about him. Good quality but don't expect very good communication and DO NOT be in a hurry. He's been...
