Slow progress lately. Been working on keeping our other bikes on the road. But, I did get to spend some quality time with the sand blast...
Any rear caliper is suitable from a VF500/700/750/1000F or 86-87 VFR700/750
Those are California carbs, just the one brass spigot is normal. The picture of that cap covering a hole is what we are talking about. That...
I have noticed that animals react to my 86 more than any of my other motorcycles. Like do not like it at all, react.
Look on the opposite side of the carb in the same location. If there is a cap covering that opening, the pilot screws have never been adjusted...
History of the bike and some pics, and you should get some help. Highly likely you are looking in the wrong place on some dirty carbs.
If it has sensor wires coming out the back side of the front head, 86. If not, 87.
It's really just the prep, as is with most things. On the wheels, there's a couple things I do that I've had very good results with. If the...
Been painting wheels for almost 30 years with my technique, no issues cleaning brake dust and chain grime. Finish stays nice through the years....
Progress. Wheels wet sanded, primed, wet sanded again, and primed again. [ATTACH] Quick sand and wipe down. Lay some white and clear. F2...
I have bikes/parts from all 3 years, any cluster from 83 to 85 should be interchangable.
They are the same, just a little more material around the bolt holes on the stock rear disk.
It is the same bolt pattern and diameter. The front disks are slightly lighter due to their design. I put a front disk on the rear of my 500...
Cool. The 1st gen 750/700 has a unique rear disc. It is the thickest and largest diameter of all the 1st/2nd gens. You can reduce some...
Unless you already have F2 wheels on your 83 and don't realize it (I'm assuming it's a VF750F), the F2 rotor is not even close. Before I go into a...
[ATTACH] One of my two 1000Rs. Took over 15 years (built multiple other bikes and bought a new house during the time), and it's still not...
Mine still has the stock carb, air box and pipe... so not much help to you as far as comparing notes. Time to start reading your plug and make...
I did some minor intake mods and I think I went up 1 size on the main.
NS50F build? I'm intrigued. [ATTACH]
The 83 - 85 VF750/700 had the thickest rotors on the back (min 6mm). All the other rotors (including the 1000F) on VFs, front or rear, were min...
