I'm surprised they didn't mask the disc mount faces. And the sprocket face.
No. "there is a very loud screeching/whining noise" It sounds like you have a problem that's more than the very occasional slip or whir. You...
Symptom when cold is very common. First item, yes, but not a 100% guarantee fix. Sometimes the second item is cracked.
That sounds like it could be your starter clutch. It is a one way gear that can slip when it is worn. Sometimes the casing can crack and cause...
Correct OEM paint? 83 and 84 have different colors. Or just a solid piece, no cracks?
If we are talking about the carbs, the 84/85 have the fuel inlet into the left rear carb on the side (originally with a fuel pump). 86, the fuel...
Wow. Awesome. Im getting ready to go thru my 86 that needs the carbs gone thru (all original except for Honda float bowl gaskets in 1993). I...
The correct spring for your weight. Race Tech or Sonic. Stay away from "progressive" springs in my opinion. Plus you can't upgrade to Emulators...
Lot #24 (Sale Order: 24 of 135) Sold for: $400.00 to v****a This auction is in progress! ENTER LIVE AUCTION kind of ambiguous
Whatever engine has the best looking cams, I wouldn't touch a goddamn thing. I would preassemble to a point where it can be started with exhaust...
The frames and engines are mix-n-match. My race bike was 86/86. After floating a valve, an 84 engine bolted right in exactly the same. I know...
An original M/C better not be a deciding factor. They are not rare. A dent in the tank is better than rusted seams. An 86 engine bolts right...

After looking at some photos, I think the Hawk GT bars are actually taller than the VF1000F bars. Not sure how well the cables and wires can...
Later (as in '86) have improved manufacturing (line bored heads) and a larger oil sump. The 84 / 85 will make more power (larger valves)......
Are his bars stock or lower aftermarket? The Hawk GT (NT650) 41mm bars are pretty high too, but I think they are about the same as stock VF1000F
A VF500F can be a very satisfying SECOND bike. CAN be. I own a few.
The stock bars on the VF1000F are some of the highest 41mm Honda bars out there. Installed 1994 VFR bars on mine to LOWER them. 1990 - 1997 VFR...
If I am not doing seals and just doing a flush for some reason, I will usually buy the cheapest fluid on the lighter side and cycle/flush a couple...
Welcome! Nice, clean example. Sweet.
