That, my good man, is THE question, isn't it? I found this, in not-so-good shape, thru another forum I'm on for one of my other bikes. I mentioned...
Boom-shaka-lacka! Went my Honda today to pick up the screw, and screw #42(with the 6mm shoulder as listed above) is an exact perfect match. I...
Thanks guys. I measured the shoulder and I think it's 6mm on the nose. I'll try my local dealer to see if he has one I can look at to see if it...
As far as plastic, there is no "limited availability of parts". Honda HQ here in Torrance had pallets full of 94-97 plastic last time I was in there.
Went for a ride this a.m. on the 85 VF500F, and when I got home I noticed a bolt was missing from the seat cowl. Damn railroad track crossings....
No worries. With the parts in hand it really is a less than one hour fix, and simple to do.
They are cheap if you think you see wear on them. I didn't, and left mine alone and re-used them.
Two year cycle? Most times this happens round the 50k mark. Is two years another 50k to you?
Thanks for the info. I'll push it over to my friend. We both kinda guessed it would be heavy and sorta ill-handling.
I'd love to get some feedback on the VF1000R. I have a friend (currently has an 04 VFR800) who's looking at buying a used 1984 VF1000R, and had...
Oops/. Wrong link. Here's the right one: 1984 VF500F Honda Interceptor
84 VF500F. $500. I know nothing about it. Just thought I'd pass it along. 2009 Triumph Street Triple
The grab bar is OEM. Looks exactly like the one on my 84 VF500F. Both are extremely lo-mileage bikes, and I'm the 2nd owner of both of them. My 84...
Oh...and I was wrong. The bracket is not held on with a small nut on the bottom. It's actually a small hex head bolt that is screwed UP into the...
Went out and took some fotos for you. Keep that cowl. It is extremely rare. Yours is only the 2nd one I have ever seen, along with mine. Let me...
Hey- I also have the OEM seat cowl, the OEM seat, and a Corbin solo seat like you have, as well as a Corbin gunfighter & lady (two person) seat....
Nicely done. Welcome to the club. I've got a 84 and an 85 version if you got any issues, but it looks like you got everything covered so far.
Or these: Boots :: MotorcycleGear.com They will do wonders for your ankle/feet in a crash, even @ commuting speeds. End up with a car parked on...
Dude. I live/ride in LA. As a motorcyclist and a Californian, I lost that meager hope a looooong time ago. I've always said (way before Harold...
Following up on this since I'm all my current garage projects are done and all the bikes are all up & running. What better time to tear one down...
