restoring & adding a modern touch to a 86 vf500

::boggle::

holy crap!

 

HOLY!!!! looks clean and nice, i guess i know what you mean now when you said you like to be sleeper lol. looks almost stock i barely spotted the intercooler and thought i would ask. you are my hero now lol.

 

its ok, if you like going fast in a straight line, holy crap what? im shooting for the 1000 hp range!

 

well i made some good ground today on the bike, got the swing arm off it had a little damage on it where the chain came apart btu not to bad, fitted my hindle exhaust on it, and removed the rear shock. time to start building the airfilter system so i can run pods on it. enjoy some more photos!

 

Rock on man, that black header looks nice. Any thoughts of getting the midpipe coated as well? Is that the ceramic coating we talked about before? How much did that cost you?

 

yea its a ceramic coating, i only paid 100.00 bucks for it, i thought about
getting the mid pipe coated.

 

Looking good, keep up the good work.

 

Whoa, you'll be keeping busy with that bike! and I thought I was dreading a big job with a valve clearance/oil change coming up soon....

 

i still need to put the back wheel on and the shock and get the front wheel machined, but its all good in the hood

 

today i picked up my, f2 front wheel yea!!... and also so bought front and rear braided brake lines, since they dont sell a clutch line for it im going to have one made up i had to dive into the car parts pile but i found the prefect line, there be more updates but i need too start getting parts in before i can go any further.

 

Nice, i have to change my clutch i guess ill steal your idea and change the hose at the same time, do you know what you got it from? And as we are on the topic of the front wheel, does anybody know where you can get cross drilled rotors for the vf500?

 

NSR400 rotors fit to vf500. Also Kagizume does rotors for vf HONDA.
