Last 50 of 364- RS850 Replica Really cool build. Can`t wait to see more.
- VF400F resto-mod Not much new. The bike came with two lower cowls, both broken. Luckily the plastic is of the thermoplastic type so I was able to use a soldering iron to weld pieces together to make one cowl. I took the opportunity to…
- VF400F resto-mod Captain 80s, 6/11/2017 at 2:32 PM Makes sense and should be bolt on. Let me know if you need triple clamps or any misc chassis hardware. Originals 35 or 37mm? Just curious. Some 86-87 VFR forks would be cool to run the…
- VF400F resto-mod Probably a set of VF500F forks. I'll rework them I spose; lose the TRAC, emulators maybe, etc.
- VF400F resto-mod 9 hours ago, Veefer800Canuck So the bigger rims are finding their way onto the 4/500? Is that what I'm reading here?? The slightly bigger boomerangs from a Euro VF500F2 yes. Not the NS400R/VF wheels.
- VF400F resto-mod 1 hour ago, Captain 80s Yes. Any ideas on what rotors will play nicely with that set-up? Maybe some adapters needed like on the NS forum? I have a slightly bent front 1000R Comstar that might need to come apart for bolt…
- VF400F resto-mod Here is a link to a Japanese site regarding this. http://www.geocities.jp/ponsuke1jp/sub25.htm
- VF400F resto-mod Found it: [image: CB1000 forks/NS400R wheel/RC51 calipers]
- VF400F resto-mod Captain 80s, 6/2/2017 at 0:37 PM Those wheels with normal discs is going to look great on that bike. Nice progress. I think so too. Should stop a bit better as well.
- VF400F resto-mod Kel, 6/1/2017 at 7:28 PM Those wheels are one of my favorites. Starting to come together Tom. No doubt it will look and ride fantastic. Looking forward to the finished product. I talked to a local powdercoater I've used…
- VF400F resto-mod Also started fitting the chin cowl. This one is pretty rough as you can see so a bit of work left to do. A bit of a change with the Hindle so cutting required. Also got the chance to make a mount for the left side top…
- VF400F resto-mod Slow progress. But progress. Fuel tank back from Moyers for their blast seal and bake treatment. Plan on painting this bike so this was a no brainer. I've dealt with my share of rusty tanks. No worries after this. Did…
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Pressurize the tank to increase capacity? Are the bottom of the tank seams bowed out at the back or is it just the camera angle?
- My new (old) Honda VF500F2 RaceBike It seems there are a lot of outlets for you overseas to race. Not the same here in the US. I`d like to be able to just take the fairing off a bike and join a race like you have.
- VF400F resto-mod Thanks Kel, heres some Boomerangs that just showed up.
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. I`ll say it again; coolest 500 Interceptor build I`ve seen.
- VF400F resto-mod I did some homework on the Hindle. The mid pipe is a very large diameter. Hindle used to offer a baffle that could be inserted here. Instead of reinventing the wheel I just did what they did to take a bit of the edge…
- VF400F resto-mod 3 hours ago, Captain 80s Haven't mounted them yet. Planning on using them on my next 500 build. It looks like I can relocate/add one frame tab so they mount in the same location as the 500 brackets. I have a full Yosh…
- VF400F resto-mod I still need to make mounting brackets but used some turtle wax chrome polish for a little protection, a little copper grease on the joints and you get the idea.
- VF400F resto-mod 48 minutes ago, RDMcD My first bike was a cbx 550 , also somewhat rare, and I can attest that the brakes sucked but I didn't know any better. It had the same wheels and three inboard ventilated disk brakes, each one…
- VF400F resto-mod 1 hour ago, Captain 80s Holy shit. Score. I have a set of Beet (?) Rearsets for the 400 I got ions ago from Japan to adapt to a 500. How in the hell did those things pop up in your area? Did you use the rearsets on your…
- VF400F resto-mod So there's luck. Like finding a non-imported VF400F with no engine and a Magna 500 with a 5000 mile engine in the same trip and bringing them home together. Then there's finding a NIB Hindle/Holeshot 4-1 header system…
- VF400F resto-mod 4 hours ago, Captain 80s Correct-ish wheels but loses those damn inboard brakes. Ya, darn! While retro-cool and all, if I keep the stock inboards I have to replace at least the rear rotor as I'm sure it's warped. Im…
- VF400F resto-mod 6 hours ago, Mohawk Just fit a VF750F or a CBR600F2 front end, all the benefits, no drawbacks & leave the rear stock or match with a 750/600 rear wheel/brakes. While I'm not ruling that option out 100%, I've done…
- VF400F resto-mod 8 hours ago, Dutchy No affiliation; a breaker here in NL has these parts, should you get stuck stateside.... http://www.svolta.nl/1277-vf-400-f-nc13-1982-1986 Can assist if needed.. :-) Thanks for the link. I might take…
- VF400F resto-mod 2 hours ago, Tyy Before you undertake a wheel swap, may I point you in the direction I have gone? Changing the tires from bias-ply to modern radials really changes the look of the wheel. New paint or power coating could…
- VF400F resto-mod 4 hours ago, Kel Looks like fun. Don't hate me but I actually like those wheels...goes with the rest of the styling/era. Didn't Canada get those? Seems like I've seen a few here and there in several forums. No hate…
- VF400F resto-mod Terry thanks for confirming the brakes. I'm pretty sure the rear rotor is warped. Cool pics of your bikes.
- VF400F resto-mod I'm going back and forth on that. Would be good to have the dual discs, not loving the TRAC. Also, I've got a set of 17" NS/VF1000 Comstars that may find a new life with this project.
- VF400F resto-mod 3 hours ago, Forbes A friend of mine had the VF400 in South Africa, really quick, was always curious about the inboard discs..... On the 750's the 'V' is different between the Magna, front bank further forward, shaft…
- VF400F resto-mod 7 hours ago, Dutchy That is a rare beast, even her in the Netherlands! congrats! So what is the plan? A VF400 MagnaCeptor hybrid? Magna motor in the VF400. Then get rid of the rest of the Magna. The motor is essentially…
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. Just got to read through this thread from start to now. All I can say is that is the coolest! (And how do I get a copy of that exhaust without going to Devon?)
- VF400F resto-mod Long time since I've been here. Drove a bit Saturday to pick up this VF400F rolling chassis and this non-running V30 Magna. I spent Sunday going through the Magna to get it running. We didn't get the VF400F here in the…
- Should have my head examined part 2....hey, the price was right! How many do you have so far?
- VF1000R motor into a VF1000F? A little late but we did a thread regarding putting a R motor in a F frame a couple years back. I still have the freshly modified and powder coated F frame wrapped in an old sheet waiting for one of my R motors.
- Nice VF750 at local show Should trim those mounting tabs off along with the frame mounts for the rear passenger pegs. But yes, looks like a 1000R with 750 bodywork. First year R with the narrower heads.
- CBR wheel conversion on VF1000 FF - tyres? Hello Ascalon. I dont use CBR600 wheels but close relatives although wider in the rear on most. At the moment I have Michelin Pilots, Michelin Power Pures, Continental Motions and Michelin Road 4`s. The Road 4`s are the…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod Very Nice. Looks very good with the white Dymags.
- New tires for the VF1000F Nothing quite like white wheels.
- New Battery On My Old Fat Slow Bike. Light Weight Or Heavy? Anything smaller than the stock battery can be made to fit.
- My Two "new" Vf1000R Project Bikes I'd like to suggest you get the Honda Service manual. Lots of good info, carb adjustments, valve adjustment, etc, etc. looks like you have a couple very good projects well in hand. Might help to prevent a problem or two.
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! DrOlds Well I plan on doing a complete rebuild on the motor as well and obviously you guys know about the gaskets and seals needed to rebuild these motors so I hope I can get them. (I saw a couple Vesrah sets on Ebay so…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! Looks like a fun project. Keep posting.
- Finished The Vfkr (Kind Of) [image: post-16289-0-72974300-1441814407.jpg] Wow! I`ve been away from forums for awhile. Don`t know how I missed you finishing this. I like it! Really looks good and I like the paint scheme. I hear you about kids off…
- 1KR engine into 1KF frame Hi there rhubarb. I think you used a VF1000RE engine in your project if I'm not mistaken. I recall rereading about your bike several times over the years. Loved it. Our problem here in the US is we got the VF1000RF and…
- New To Site: 85 Vf1000R I have had very good luck with a couple local upholstery shops.
- Out For My Last Ride Of The Season And Look What I Found, Bought, And Just Sold... tomk1960 CornerCarver Congrats to the new owner, maybe he will chime in here when he takes delivery of that beauty. We will be staying in touch and I'll encourage him to join the forum. He already has a low mileage 750…
- VF1000F mutant copy allowed? Wow! I thought it was a picture of my bike for a second! When you said you wanted to copy it you really meant it. That looks like it was very well done. Even down to some of the details like the gold painted clutch…
- Out For My Last Ride Of The Season And Look What I Found, Bought, And Just Sold... Too tight.
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) Looks great! Is that a satin finish on the wheels?
