All 42- CBR wheel conversion on VF1000 FF - tyres? Hi Ascalon, I am running F2 wheels on my VF750F, and had Pirelli Rosso (something or others), Dunlop RoadSmrts on the rear, and now recently put on Michelin PilotRoad3s. All were 120/70-17 and 160/60-17. I often rode…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread MarkinReno, 02/09/2016 at 1:58 PM Arman was passing through Reno! [image: 20160902_085536.jpg] [image: 20160902_093348.jpg] Thanks so much for stay, Mark! Still riding, met a VFR rider from Chicago and we rode to Bryce…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod Oh sure, spoil it for all wanting to pursue a restomod. Just kidding! Awesome...and inspiring to all wanting to pursue a restomod! Love the black frame, and the swingarm looks great. Gonna take a bastard file to my…
- '85 Vf1000F Build Mitchb, you are not worried that the rectifier will overheat under the seat like that? Some go so far as to add fans, even though its on the side. That's a fine looking crankcase breather box!
- '85 Vf1000F Build Mitchb, That looks fantastic so far! Is that a stock blue/silver colour for that year? Never seen it before. Is the minimalist tail from another bike, or something you fabricated yourself? Keep posting pics of the…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 15 hours ago, VF1000Fe I accept your Challenge. Now we just need a VF500F and we'll have the Trifecta (or 3 Stooges,,..) Great! That's sounds funner already! ("funner" is a real word, irregardless of what you may think)…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 13 hours ago, Belfry Does that mean you'll be riding yours? Is she roadworthy again? Hey neighbour! Yes, roadworthy after with new tires and suspension tweaks. Are you B-lining for the Kootenays or taking scenic route?…
- New To Vfrd Good looking stable you have there, Stretch!
- 2016 Pac Nw Oregon Meet Poll Curry, just saw this thread now. Wow, thanks for all the info. After cutting across Oregon coming back from the fun SumSum3, I gotta say those roads are top of my list for the motorcycling season next year. And troopers…
- Any Interest In A Kootenay Hootenanny 3 In Nelson, Bc - 2016? Count me in too! Might even take 3 weeks off for getting to and from Nelson, taking the scenic route through Utah/Colorado.
- Early Vf500 Headers Andcollector Box Dutchy, I think the V4 engines in the Magna/Sabre were tilted at a different angle than the sport setup of the Interceptor so that may put the collector into an odd position.
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) Damn fine paint job, bswiles!! I had to reread your build thread, to get inspiration to tackle a few problems on my VF. then I noticed something in this picture. Maybe the wheel is just temporarily on, but the fork axle…
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) vfrAustin The bolt at the end prevents slipping. The surface should only see movement during adjustment. vfrAustin, under acceleration I can see the net force on the axle being towards the front of the bike (which would…
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) bswiles, damn fine work. Your Interceptor is gonna turn many heads! Lots of attention to detail, but one question...is there paint on the swingarm dropout surface where the rear axle tightens the chain adjusters? I have…
- New To Me Bike. Need Input. My bike overheats if idling around town too. So I added a switch as some suggested and turn it on when I see the temperature climb. It was easier than finding a thermo switch with a lower temperature range. The thermo…
- New To Me Bike. Need Input. Yep. You can see the phillips screw heads near the bottom of each carb. There is a washer on each screw. Use medium Locktite to secure. I will see if I have an electronic version of the manual to send you.
- New To Me Bike. Need Input. Yep. Syncing is relatively easy. So sitting on the bike, front two cylinders (left-right) are 2-4, and back two are 1-3, if I recall correctly. The #3 vacuum port screw is behind the thermostat housing. You can reach…
- New To Me Bike. Need Input. treitz Didn't have a chance to get to the t-stat last night, but I did replace the spark plugs. Made a fair difference in how the bike runs. Don't know when they were last replaced, but the ones I pulled were ugly. I'll…
- A Nice Find With An Unexpected Twist Cogswell Maybe someone here knows the history of these bikes' designation as "V45" and can explain more about their history. A displacement of 750cc is very close to 45 cubic inches. Was that Honda's way of appealing to…
- Let The Parts Swapping Begin! Thanks Cogswell! Now will I have to figure out how to shoehorn a single-sided swingarm into my old VF just to have those wheels.
- Hard Time Finding Slip On Africord, please do a simple review of your suggestion...as it clearly states in your link that the product is discontinued and no longer available.
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) Once you polish this beauty to a shine, the bike will be happy and those signal lights will perk right up! Can't wait to see more pictures!
- Not Again! Another Deer Slayed! Better Outcome This Time. Terry, good to hear you are basically ok after an actual deer hit. Strange to think, but could it be you didn't overreact because you experienced before? How does one smash the front of the bike and not go down? Your…
- La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure Lee, sucks to hear about that. All these accounts might slow me down a bit more in these small touristy towns. On the other hand, I had a rather positive encounter a couple years ago with a state trooper on the west…
- ’84 Honda Vf750f Interceptor : A Rebuild Hi LordFroggy, Good to see you are keeping an oldie running! There are lots of great posts of builds here (where I got most of my info). My suggestion would be to not rush and allow time for unexpected problems (like if…
- 2012 VFRD SumSum x2 - August 14 – 17th Yet another big thank you to Tony for a great meet! And all who attended! After somewhere around 6000 miles I made it back on tuesday night. The old VF made it. I had a great time. Only one leaking fork seal, and a…

- V4 Carb Sync Eamann, I suspect your manometer is not leaking air...that is if the fluid in two of the four lines go up while the other two go down by the same amount. If it is leaking at the bleeder screw in the cylinder head then…
- V4 Carb Sync Sounds like those two carbs are the ones that are out of sync with the rest. Try adjusting those two carbs then restarting. If out of sync repeat adjustment, until they are all close together. I sync my carbs one at a…

- HID & LED upgrade '83 VF750F Hey HWP, before you start blaming the bulbs for poor lighting check the stock housing/reflector. I replaced the bulb in mine and still had not so great output. I looked inside the glass housing on my '84 VF750F and…
- 2nd gen valve cover gaskets - discontinued! Chazzviffer, you can probably get away with resealing the old gaskets. I am not sure if the gaskets are similar to my 1st gen, but I was able to reuse my gaskets. The gaskets were rather thick and fit into a recess on…
- CrossViffer? Cross VFR --> CVFR --> CViffer --> ???? :idea3:
- Another VF1000R reborn Quote What do you mean "with a thin strip of paper"? I'm a having a heck of a time trying to reach the right front cylinder. Back two...no problem. When I accidentally separated all the carbs from each other on my…
- Another VF1000R reborn Looks amazing! Enjoy the classic, after all that effort you put into it. As for the fast idle, on my restoration I had a similar problem and had to first bench synchronize the carbs with a thin strip of paper, then sync…
- What's with all this RVF1000 rumour talk??????? Damn, Kel. Damn. Very sharp and classic in the colour scheme. Can't wait for the good photos!
- Thanks To Seb & Sparrow...... My New Project Hey Dougie750, the winter months are great for getting it looking like you want it. I really like that colour scheme and the fairing seems to be in good condition. Lots of great info here and best of luck with the…
- ’84 Honda Vf750f Interceptor : A Rebuild Hey Aard, I am not sure what I did wrong, but if you copy and paste the link into the address bar of your browser it will work. I will try fix that. Good info and pictures on these threads - 1985 Vf700f Restoration by…
- 1985 Vf700f Restoration Son of gun! Those valve covers sure look good! I tried the same thing, but did not strip the clearcoat off of the covers first. I thought it was some anodizing and did not try the oven cleaner trick to remove it as I…
- ’84 Honda Vf750f Interceptor : A Rebuild Thanks for kind words on the paint scheme. The inspiration for the colors were the old John Players Special F1 cars of the 1970's. It is as VF1000RS says, changes a bit depending on the light. It really needs a hard…

- ’84 Honda Vf750f Interceptor : A Rebuild A Disassemblement and Reconstructive Last summer I took the motorcycle safety course and needed a bike for this season. So I decided to get a older Honda back in February of this year. Looked at an 84 VF750F and thought…
