Yeah, you are right, I would probably be looking at if it was in H-Town! I am a sucker for these. Just such a crap shoot. I have had a VF500F...
Seems like a ton of miles for a 500 unless he babied it. No expert here but the valves seem to be a really weak link on these. Good question...
Scary project. I am guessing that engine will need A LOT.
Wow, Harbor freight to the rescue!
S-Man, both the VTR250 and the VF500F /C have those same weird spiral wind "threads" on the head bolts. Pure speculation but they may have...

Yes, I have a sizable number of Ryobi myself. I did not know they had a stapler,...Thanks
Harbor Freight, Eh? I did not know that. I have Arrow staples and you are right, they don;t shoot straight. I did not know there was a difference.
I have done several, you need a solid quality heavy duty stapler. I have also looked into an electric one as they do a much better job getting...
Yeah I have looked at that guy's bike several times. It really looks good. I wish I was not such an OEM snob sometimes. But If I cannot find...
Yeah, It has a bit of that "rat rod" look to it!
Thank you sir! I have a few odds and ends I need I may hit you up. That seat cover is a problem. I can't find anything on line with that color....
