    Hi, I'm James
    I bought a VF500 for a couple hundred quid a few years ago.
    I chopped the whole back end off and I was going to build it into a street fighter! I didn't build it, it just sat there.
    Now I have a new workshop and I'm going to resurrect the old girl.
    I should really build it all back to how it should be and do a proper restoration I know.
    However..
    And I am sorry, but its getting a bit of street/café flair to it.
    Ill post a few pics when I'm done.

    Ok, ill get some pics as i go along.
    I managed to fire her up last night (almost) the engine seemed to run away a bit and it wouldn't idle. I had the air filter off at the time, I'm not sure if that would cause that tho.
    Ive had the carbs out and cleaned the main jets before, it all looked pretty decent, but looks like they may need to come out again if this high revving issue doesn't sort itself.
