Vent hose, open to atmosphere. Originally there is/was a bracket mounted on top of a carb that directs it to point down. This is a shot of a 86...
Yes, just irons and rim protectors. The rear tire took just 2 iron moves to get on. The front took about 5 or 6, but was still super easy....
Modified hub assembled. Came out nice, looks pretty "stock". [ATTACH]
Man, I love putting on new tires. They almost fall on. [ATTACH] 140/80-17 V & 120/80-16 V ContiGO. Great looking tires, nice profiles....
There are really no deal breakers on the 86 - 87 VFRs. If it has been maintained at all, they are pretty damn bullet proof. Typical possibility...
Got them shot Friday afternoon. Pretty creamy, gonna look sick. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yeah, that tire looks good. Nice job.
Decided to refurb the disks and hub that came with these wheels. Detailed wheels with new tires, and everything pre-installed for a swap....

Yeah, those are sweet. Very cool project. Shame that when mounted you could never see them. Great job.
Have you set the correct idle at operating temperature (like the manual states) and see how it does during the warm up period? Lean will...
Etching primer on Sunday. Knocked down a few areas last night and shot a first light coat today to identify any other issues. Normally I like to...
I didn't remove the needle (or the face plate) when I was investigating. Just trying to examine the movement from the back. The good news for me...
I don't think mine will return with a tap. It was a few years ago, don't remember exactly where I lubed, but I didn't want to go crazy with it....
