Top notch work! I feel your pain about waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.............
Yeah, I have been pretty lucky on my projects, I have not lost money on any of them recently. Not that it matters as you said. I did a full make...
If you are still interested I have several extra plastic parts. LMK....
That is correct....I think I will change the title to 'Jim's PRICELESS 1986 VF500F"
Yes sir, that is exactly the story! Thanks!
Thanks, I really appreciate the encouragement! Labor of love for now...
I will say that I have made money restoring motorcycles in the past. This will not be one of them! I really never bought it to make money, I...
I wish my parts would come in! Ready to get this show on the road! [ATTACH]
