Hey all, nice to be here... I’ve had 2 VF500 basket cases for about 10 years now, finally getting around to starting on the first one. I’m a Big Brother with Big Brothers and Sisters in the GTA and I’ve been doing the restoration/ rebuilding thing with all 5 Little Brothers I’ve had over the last 25 years. My current Little and I just finished restoring a VTR250 and when spring comes we’ll be putting it up on the market to finance the VF500 work. My avatar photo is the VTR the day we finished it. The VF was spray painted black so we are starting to sand/strip the paint and LB has pulled the carbs(it took him a couple of hours) and I'm going to tear them down and clean etc..we are finishing this one as a replica of Mick Doohan's Rothmans NSR500...
Welcome here Dennis. You are doing a great thing teaching your Little Brothers how to work on bikes. That is much more useful then staring at their phones like my kids. Although I sold my '86 VF500 20 years ago, its still one of my faves. Good luck.
