  1. Finished The Vfkr (Kind Of) 17 Sep 2015 23:58 I was hoping it was that simple... Now I have to get carb sticks! Thanks for the help - :fing02:
  2. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 19 Dec 2014 02:40 Just an out of the box thought - I removed mine well over a thousand miles ago (albeit a vfr750 tank...) and have not had any issues. My guess is Honda had to plan for high speeds with low fuel (lower static pressure)…
  3. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 23 Nov 2014 15:28 Yo unbalanced - you have any windscreen screws, nuts and rubber? I need 4 of them? Access door on lower fairing? I could start making a wish list with you...lol I may have a few extra windscreen hardware, and definitely…
  4. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 23 Nov 2014 00:38 Congrats and Welcome! :smile2: Always good to see another VFKR being resurrected. I have a good assortment of spares from the 3 bikes i've had through my garage, but my spare seats look like yours. I would follow…
  5. Vf1000r Rebuild 15 Sep 2014 23:42 +2 and I have that exhaust on mine! :blush: The shorty does not work IMO. Best of luck with the build!
  6. '85 Vf500 - Headlights & Starter Ceased Functioning.... 19 Oct 2013 13:58 It's likely to be the starter switch. Check the wiring diagram, you'll see the headlight routes through the starter switch, and they frequently break tabs and don't make the needed connection.
  7. '85 Vf1000R For Sale In My Town 30 Aug 2013 00:10 I don't think the mileage is that high considering it's 28 years old. It all depends upon how well it was maintained or if it was abused, but it sure looks like was taken care of. Mine was a $600 basket case with 32K…
  8. Do These Silencers Make My R Look Fat? 16 Aug 2013 01:46 I think there is a deeper question here - what is going on in their place? :huh:
  9. Good Lord...what Have I Done? 26 Jul 2013 22:52 That's awesome! You know the blood is still flowing when you take on a project like that.. very nice! Keep us posted! I better not see any CT plates driving around my neighborhood. :angry: Funny that you mention that...
  10. Good Lord...what Have I Done? 24 Jul 2013 20:19 That's awesome! You know the blood is still flowing when you take on a project like that.. very nice! Keep us posted!
  11. Tom's Vf1000F Revival 9 May 2013 21:30 Sounds like a solid find assuming the body's in decent shape and all there. Parts are tougher to find but they show up now and again - I've been looking for one for a while so good find!
  12. VF1000R & F replica Winning Run speedo brackets 21 Jul 2012 16:43 Thanks for the info - I'll try them direct. Did you send in english or did you translate?
  13. VF1000R & F replica Winning Run speedo brackets 16 Jul 2012 01:14 [image: View Post]VF1000RS, on 23 June 2012 - 04:40 PM, said: As far as what countershaft sprocket will work, the stock sprocket of course and I have been using the offset sprockets from Krueger Junginger(sp?). I have a…
  14. Project 85 VF1000R 15 Jul 2012 00:59 Ok, you obviously have not posted enough pics of the garage - is that three lifts? I can't look.... Beautiful job BTW!
  15. VF1000R & F replica Winning Run speedo brackets 23 Jun 2012 13:31 Sold! You can sign me up, but also a question - I assume this provides mounting for the clutch slave cylinder and also allows clearance for a 'spaced out' counter shaft sprocket? what is the largest clearance, 9mm?…
  16. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 17 Jun 2012 15:49 I'll second that... Very nice Lance!
  17. 1984 VFkR resto begins today 26 May 2012 11:48 Love the European faired VFKRs, best of luck and welcome!
  18. Would you buy it for $1500? 26 Jan 2012 01:40 I am a little late here, but the Hindle would have made me buy it alone. You could part ot out if you had to and make your investment back, but lets face it - if you are buying a VFKR your doing it to own a peice of…
  19. 03 VFR Sticker(s) Recommendation 9 Jan 2012 02:05 looking good - Are you goimg to add the 'VFR' decals to the upper (by the turnsignal)?
  20. Top 15 Motorcycle roads USA/Canada 31 Dec 2011 20:43 vfrdriscoll, on 31 December 2011 - 12:44 PM, said: A few twisty runs from NY / PA to throw out there: 28N Adirondacks NY 30 around Pepacton Resevoir NY 858 to 706 to 187 Pennsylvania 97 near Port Jervis and up the NY/PA…

  22. 03 VFR Sticker(s) Recommendation 3 Dec 2011 13:30 Unbalanced - nice pics. You found a few we talked about. :woohoo: I like the HONDA idea - but using the sprayer is a more interesting idea. :idea3: I'll photoshop a litte today and work the last picture. The black with…
  23. 03 VFR Sticker(s) Recommendation 3 Dec 2011 12:30 You could do this, where the upper stripes are tape and just the lower black is painted... Photoshop your color preference ;)
  24. 03 VFR Sticker(s) Recommendation 2 Dec 2011 03:21 So why use decals? I've got a set of guns and I'll be painting this winter... stop by AC with a 6pack and we can do this - :beer: PS credit her to Spotthedog! http://www.vfrdiscus...o-custom-paint/
  25. 03 VFR Sticker(s) Recommendation 2 Dec 2011 03:17 There are a few threads floating around about stickers. If you do a search for "Stickers" I am sure they will pop up. Some really nice looking ones too that you can configure different color options. Should give it the…
  26. Project 85 VF1000R 2 Nov 2011 03:19 Looks like it found a good home, can't wait to see it finished. Welcome!

  28. Another VF500 resurrection 18 May 2011 01:23 [image: View Post]Kel, on 17 May 2011 - 08:18 AM, said: Should be fun. The F1 wheels look good, closer to the stock 3 spoker. F2 wheels aren't shabby by any means either. Great beginners bike. The 500 started life as…
  29. Another VF500 resurrection 17 May 2011 01:24 What a difference a year makes, last year I thought I would have to get rid of my VF1000R and now another VF graces the garage! My wife took a MSF course, got her licence and wanted to ride so... $600 and it hasn't run…
  30. My VF1000R Rescue/Long Term Project 15 May 2011 21:22 New tires, check... Welcome - always love seeing another 1000R come back to life! :fing02:
  31. 6 month Storage questions..... 12 May 2011 15:53 If the tank is off the bike and ready for paint, I would add a splash of stabilizer and forget about it. The concern would be condensation in the tank (assuming you seal it off), but if you are only out 6 months the…
  32. vf1000f project 8 May 2011 19:23 Also dig the rearsets, what are they? Also curious about the exhaust, where are you headed with it?
  33. I got twins! 30 Apr 2011 11:22 There are worse afflictions to have, I think most of us share yours! Very nice find - the 86 is looking good!
  34. VF1000R Updates 27 Apr 2011 01:45 finally something to post - I got the 4-1 finished and installed, found a Yoshimura TRS muffler. I was going to have a mid pipe made, but in the mean time I thought I would play around with the Hindle mid pipe - and I…
  35. VFKR 4-1 Exhaust rebuild 27 Apr 2011 01:23 Quick updates - finally got the header cleaned up and used high temp header paint to finish it. I had to make a new bracket but it bolted up nice... I'll update the rest under the bike build - :cheerleader: Attached…
  36. Why Is Vf1000r Weight So High? 16 Apr 2011 13:36 [image: View Post]Kel, on 15 April 2011 - 08:50 PM, said: To answer the question, It's heavy cause it weighs a lot. :biggrin: Love it... I also say its not neccessarily the weight, but how it handles it. The suspension…
  37. *** tippy toe rider**** 16 Apr 2011 13:09 Welcome! Always good to hear another big ole 1000R has survived! From what I remember the stock front end cannot be lowered much do to the air cross over set-up, but you can raise the clip ons to help your reach (won't…

  40. Check out this move... 30 Mar 2011 16:04 WOW - that guy makes my work look good! Always nice to see someone clean things up before they start a project (!) The worse part to me is that the left side hole cuts through the original pivot tube to boot! :blink:

  44. Second VF1000R rebuild 27 Mar 2011 21:48 OK, a quick clean up and check out and she's ready for someone to take her to the next level. I cleaned the carbs but not well enough, it runs bit is still a little rough. I have some cleaner in the gas, ran it a mile…
  45. VFKR 4-1 Exhaust rebuild 25 Mar 2011 02:23 [image: View Post]Kel, on 22 March 2011 - 09:18 PM, said: The ceramic coating I did went on pretty easy and with a big enough oven, you can do it your self Your exhaust looks great Kel, but I don't have an oven to do…

  48. VFKR 4-1 Exhaust rebuild 21 Mar 2011 01:51 Thought I would share some details on this since I know a few are looking to fab their own. I bought another VF1000R just for the exhaust, and heres what I have. It is a 'Hole Shot' and I assume Dale Walker marketed it…
  49. Second VF1000R rebuild 21 Mar 2011 01:33 So I packed up the family and drove 600 miles to pick this one up, can't believe I have such an awesome wife and kids... Its in better shape than my first one was when I got it, but the carbs were gummed up big and it…
  50. Pics of Modern Slip-Ons on Older VFR's please 18 Mar 2011 10:01 The dual set up would be the easiest to do, you can use just about any mufflers and make mid-pipes to connect 'em. I have a set of supertrapps off a Ducati 900 on mine, with an adapted CBR1100XX mid pipes... Have fun…
