My 1984 VF1000F, almost finished. This was Daugherty's old VF from Indiana, bought back in 09 and finally almost completely refurbished. Carbs...
Figured out how to solve the issue and stop the pivoting of the shock end to the linkage. I will weld a tube shape pocket on top of the new yoke...
Thank you very much for posting such a great reply, I found a picture of your VF awhile back and kept it, love the black frame, love the bike, I...
I started this thread hoping to get more info on alternatives to the stock shock without paying big bucks for one. I have seen others install...
I understand now what you are saying. The yolk or clevis that mounts to the bottom of the shock can pivot in the lower shock eyelet and cause...
If this don't work or the suspension is to mushy I will be contacting Jamie D. I just figured I would give it a try first and hope for the best to...
The yolks are welded so the shock cannot rotate, I left the stud in the VTR mount and cut it to about one half inch, then welded on the back side...
[ATTACH] you can see the width is to narrow to fit the shock, so I will make the changes when I get a chance. I want to get this done so I can...

I haven't made the changes yet due to my job situation (losing my job) for speaking my mind. But I did take a few photos to show you what it looks...

Got my VTR1000F shock today and things look real good. I have to make some small mods to the mounting on the linkage but nothing major. I will be...
Very true, I had never given that a thought. I will have to check and see if we have the rite OD tubing for the job, cutting an o-ring groove is...
Thanks for the offer, I just may. This link is what I was looking at buying this week http://www.v4market.com/Carb-Super-Kit-2_p_29.html , I...
Thanks Jamie for the offer, I may just take you up on it. I cant wait to get the VF done and back on the road and looking new. I don't make the...
Thanks again for the info, just knowing there are a lot of options helps tons, I couldn't afford $300 to $500 hundred dollars rite now for a shock...
Thanks for the info, it makes a lot of sense. I didn't consider the weight and should have. The VTR1000 is a very light bike by the looks of it,...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151161464021?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 this is what I got. I think once I machine the yolk...
