Another 1984 VF500F project

OOOO nice!

 

I got the foot pegs in and have them mounted. I'm done with these.

 

I painted the lower fork legs in the metallic and reassembled everything. Once the frame gets finished I'll install them.

 

I haven't finished the clutch cover but I have finished painting the left side.

 

Pretty striking. Guess I better get my ass in gear and dig out some exhaust.

Good job.

 

and the powder coated frame should come this week !

 

I have the front forks all together ready to be mounted.

 

Woo Ho !!@ the frame came in !

 

Alladin was good to you today!

 

Engine is now bolted in frame !

 

I need those header pipes Captain 80's as I want to put those on before putting on the swingarm or anything else that gets in the way to access the header bolts.

 

Surface rust and grime of course. NOTHING even close to corrosion that is at risk of making the chamber thin in areas. All gasket / clamp tangs are un-buggered. Metal gaskets on the header pipes are intact. Some bottoming-out scrapes, but not crushed or ground thin.

I had two chambers, they were pretty identical in "patina". If you want anymore pictures, let me know.

 

Nice build! I may have a muffler or 2 laying around, if Cap'n 80's does not,

They do have a few scars on them.

 

What is pictured is what I have.

 

Thanks Jim and Captain 80's,
I'll take what you have Captain 80's. Let me know what to do next.

Jim, I'm not looking for stock mufflers . I will be using some accessory performance slip-on

 

I will package up as compact as possible, but safely. I'm pretty good at it. PM the shipping address. It will be USPS.

I would use some modern stainless clamps on the collector. Do you need the collars at the head? They weren't in this box.

Oh... And I'm thinking a sixer and a gallon of gas plus shipping. So... $43 plus ship?

Hah!

20$ plus ship sound ok?

 

I think a sixer is cheaper than a gal of gas in Kali. lol

 

You ain’t kidding my brother!

What if I say "a GOOD sixer"?
