restoring & adding a modern touch to a 86 vf500

UPDATE ive got the chain, and the solo cowl, still waiting on the brake lines, here some more pictures enjoy!! :thumbsup:

 

heres a pic with it on the bike im i guess i dont need the rear cowl iduno :thumbsup:

 

where did you come across that solo cowl?

 

EBAY!!!! :thumbsup:

 

BEAUTIFUL, im truly jelous now lol, saw it long time ago and didnt have the sense to bid for it . nice find cant wait for the bike to be finished.

 

well nothing else new, im still waiting on my jet kit and both brake lines, as soon as i get my stuff back from jamie ill go ahead and get the forks and front wheel off it, enjoy your NEWS UPDATE!! :thumbsup:

 

You've peaked my interest. I was lucky, mine came with the rear cowl and it cost $250....I mean $250 for the whole bike.

P.S. If you ever sell that Hindle exhaust system, we will all shun you. LOL

 

oh the hindle is going to stay on her, it took me a long time to find it! :thumbsup:

 

I am excited to see this project complete. It looks fantastic so far.

 

thank you! once i get all of the suspension done on her, ill going to wait till next winter to pull the motor and send the frame off to get powder coated

 

well got my brake lines on today, but now im back to a stand still, once again waiting on parts, enjoy yet another NEWS UPDATE :thumbsup:

 

what other parts are you waiting on anyway? I'm interested to see how this bike ends up!

 

i still need the rear shock and the sprocket carrier for the cbr wheel and throw a new tire on it and shes ready to ride :thumbsup:

 

hey man, im new to this site and lookin for more info on using the F2 rear wheel setup like what you have posted, i have a 86 honda interceptor VF500F and i was wandering bout how much $$ it would cost me, and what all parts would I need to get to set my rear end up like that ? Do i have to change my swing arm to be able to put a wider rear tire on?? thank u for ur time

 

well im not the person to be asking that to, you need to talk to jamie, ill give you his link, im not going to quote you any prices on what i paid for the kit i dont know how he charges. but the wheel i paid 60.00 bucks for on ebay, you have to change the wheel bearings out of the f2 wheel with the vf500 bearings, the swing arm stays the same you dont have to do anything to it, ill be running a 150-60 rear tire so yes you can run the wider tire:thumbsup: i also suggest getting a newer rear shock off of a 2000-up f4i as well with this mod, as well i got it off of ebay for 15.00 bucks. good mods i havent been able to test so i iduno yet, best of luck to you. :thumbsup:http://vfrworld.com/forums/first-second-generation-1983-1989/www.daughertymotorsports.com

 

ok i finaly got my clutch line made up and installed, enjoy :thumbsup:

 

simply beautiful!!!

 

NEWS UPDATE, got all my goodies from jamie today the rear shock is on, and everything else is good to go i just need to get the new bearings in the f2 wheel and slap a tire on it and then we are ready to rock :thumbsup:

 

how hard of a swap is that??

 

OMG!!!!! what shock is that from f4i? Im really anxious to do that mod but i have to wait all the way til next winter :'( LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
