To each their own obviously. This bike basically fell into my lap so I'm running with it. I don't think I ever would have considered buying one....
Been busy with work and festive decorating but I've been working on a couple small items on the bike. The main focus has been the frame, engine,...
Forks disassembled. Someone decided the forks needed to be haphazardly painted black at some point. I'm obviously going to have the bodies painted...
And almost everything stripped off the frame. I had to go buy a 12mm allen socket to remove the swingarm. The set I bought stopped at 10mm for...
Got the engine out. For the record, this is a very different proceedure than the Honda service manual describes. I was hoping it would balance on...

A little back story, I got this motorcycle over 10 years ago from a friend who wanted to move on from it. His only condition was that I get it...

Thank you for the suggestions Bikebarn doesn't have coils or plug wires I'm in Yuma but next time I head up to the Phoenix area I'll look up...
I finally got a new bike and now I need to do some work to my old VF. I need new spark plug wires and coils. One of my coils went out and I just...

Wow, I can't wait to start restoring my VF1000R now. That was sad how dirty and mistreated it was but at least it's in good hands now. Good luck...
The ones I'm looking at are in Phoenix. I still need to sell a car before the wife will let me pick one up though.
