Little more progress last night. [ATTACH] Installed with all the coolant hoses mounted. [ATTACH] Get to run it pretty soon!!
Usually better than under kill.
If it's just flat surface to flat surface on the PAIR halves, I would just do a nice smear of Hondabond. But I'm not familiar with that style,...
If I remember correctly, it is not a long lead off of the main harness and will be above-ish where the fuel pump sits, the fuel pump wire is long...
I've been using 7x2 FKM/Viton on the fuel tubes for years. Your smaller, but thicker, orings probably stretch out a bit and end up at the same...
Yes floats and valves, 3-ish PSI. Just a toggle is fine operationally. Just don't cheap out on the pump and stay OEM-ish. A toggle will get you...
Yes please!!! We used to have a guy here in the NW that did the same thing. He was an absolute artist, we used him for customer and internal...
Look at the 1000R (F) and make sure they aren't just using the same graphic.
Might check out the VF1000F2 "Bol d'or" too then. It might open up some search options. Basically a twin headlight 1000F with full fairings.
Sounds like that might be the ticket then. Would have never guessed a later R to change like that. The U.S didn't get the "G".
Does your 84 R have one spark box or two? My 84 1000F has two. My 85 and 86 1000R have one larger one. The F also has provisions for tail lamp...
I love your bike. The lowers and the seat cowl work so well together. The Comstars don't hurt looking at either. I need to get my seat cowl...
Cooling system is going back together. [ATTACH] That engine has been SCRUBBED multiple times. Kinda a shame to install these restored bits...
[ATTACH] Gonna have to be heated / softened before installing... big time. Get everything absolutely ready to pop the carbs in and tighten...
I have one. It is NOT FRESH, and quite stiff. But it could probably be coaxed back into service. I saved the best one to verify against the...
Still looking for a boot?
I just swapped in a set of different flaot valves (out of your 86 CA carbs) into the 92. 2 buttons were frozen and I didnt want to wait on...
Single sided swingarm, so yeah, a lot different. Brake line has to go on the left, over the chain, like your VFRs.
The Hawk with it's linkage-less swingarm has nothing in the way of the hose easily exiting thru casting openings near the pivot for a nice shot to...
Lots of Hawks don't run chain guards, so it "solves" routing. Not sure if I'm ultimately gonna run a chain guard or not. If I do it will be a...
Separate names with a comma.
