Last 50 of 61- 750 flat spot I just noticed this thread…. Definite carb issue. The full Remus is likely the culprit. Popping on overrun generally indicates a lean condition. A jet kit would be in order here. And the fuel mixture screws at least 2…
- 1995 For Sale In Chicago Area (I hope this is allowed) One of my former projects is available in the Chicago area. I have no affiliation but the seller is a great guy. For more information:…
- SOLD SOLD SOLD 1986 VFR750 UK-spec, Fully Refurbished (Illinois) $7800 I'm offering my beautiful Honda 750 V-4 Interceptor. This bike has a unique history — originally supplied by Honda UK as one of three Press Fleet bikes for the 1986 introduction of the new VFR Interceptor.…
- Tail Fairing: Gen-2, no damage $110 including shipping. I have a 1986-87 VFR 700/750 tail light fairing assembly in need of a new home. As you can see, it's been repainted red at some point — the paint is OK condition. Amazingly, no cracks, missing…
- "ENKEI" Wheel Rim Decals I wanted to highlight our OEM wheel maker, Enkei, on my personal VFR, but a search for suitable decals turned up nothing that would apply to a motorcycle wheel rim, so I had my own made. The trick is to get the…

- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? They will look awesome mounted up. 👍
- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? 10 hours ago, atx I just got mine back, went with bronze mist. I hate wiping oil off of textured finish, figured this would be easier to clean. Anyone have any hot tips for replacing all the engine covers? Like corners…
- Need suggestions for price on 87 VFR750 The fairing: seems to be missing the center mounting screw hole (in the turn signal area), also the side fairing aero openings "seem" to be more rounded (but hard to tell in the photo), which is indicative of a…
- Need suggestions for price on 87 VFR750 This bike has no estimated value. It's worth whatever the seller can get someone to pay. The reason is that there's too many unknowns. You mention 50K miles. That would be a deal-killer for me because there's too many…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Lorne, 12/1/2018 at 6:07 PM My VFR cleaned up pretty nicely this week. Haven't ridden much since September but an open carport allows dust & varmints to mess it up. Took this photo before putting it under cover to…
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! CharlieFoxtrot, 3/14/2018 at 12:45 PM Joe, I think you did the math backwards. $1 Canadian is $0.77 US. I sure did. Looks much mo' better your way: [image: cvrtr.jpeg]
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! ...which is $1035 USD.
- I.D. This Reg/Rectifier? Thanks. (why didn't I think of that :blush: )
- I.D. This Ignition Switch? I have this Honda ignition switch in my stash and would like to offer it on fleabay but I don't actually know its application. I do know it's not for an '86-87 VFR. No part number on it. Anyone recognize it? Anyone need…
- I.D. This Reg/Rectifier? I got this R/R on a project bike some time ago. Does anyone recognize it as a specific aftermarket or possibly from another model? It was mounted and functioning on an '86 VFR and the wires are correct with the addition…
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Nothing evident to me. A pair of '86 750s....
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) LOL...
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Here ya go.... I took a few minutes to do some accurate measurements. Referring to the photos, I took measurements of the subframe at the front mount, 6" back, 10" back and 14" back (indicated by the yellow tape).…
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) No, just the camera angle. All the stampings, proportions and contours seem identical. JOE
- Master cylinder questions I rebuild these regularly on the '86-87 VFR. $30 K&S (maybe K&L) kit, new window, clean/lube the lever mechanism. Tomk1960 (above) does a nice job on the paint, etc. I also have replacement glass, though not sure of the…
- New Member- Now on my third VFR I loved my Hawk GT. Just too small for my, uh, frame. Joe in IL V4 Dreams (.com)
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) No, but that would be interesting. Larger capacity for endurance racing? I can't imagine it would be much more, maybe a quart (liter)? JOE
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Good theories....... Here's some additional comparison photos (Fat Boy on the right):
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Yup, different fairings. I thought of the pre-production angle. I can't believe Father Honda would allow that to happen. And the bike is #651. I've had earlier and later bikes, but, as I noted, I'd never had the need to…
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) See above: RC24, 1986 VFR750F, R/W/B, production #651. Here's a photo of the bike the day it was delivered to me. Edited June 1 by BluRoad Change photo
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) During the disassembly process for my latest project I discovered something I can't really explain. The fuel tank I refinished for this project came from another bike. When I went to fit it onto Project 18 it was...too…
- How old are VFR owners? 65...and I've had 19 VFRs (only six currently). Joe V4 Dreams (.com)
- vfr700f exhaust I've never personally heard of a D&D for the 2d-gen bikes. Was D&D even around back then? From the photo I'd guess that the lead pipe is grafted onto a stock 2-into-1 collector. The mufflers are way out of proportion to…
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) I would love to do a leak-down test, but I don't have the equipment. I know the value in the test, used it regularly on aircraft when I was into that. That would surely eliminate an internal mechanical issue. The…
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) Thanks for the input, Glenn. 1. The compression check is necessarily done on an engine which has sat for X number of years. Marvel Mystery Oil in cylinders, valves adjusted, cold engine, carbs off. So I don't expect…
- Can you I.D. this clutch? The mystery thickens. It is, in fact, a Barnett. In checking their catalog some questions arise: the '86 750 shows a B plate (the first or closest friction plate to the engine), but the '87 700F2 and the '90 do not.…
- Can you I.D. this clutch? Thanks, guys.
- Can you I.D. this clutch? As I progress through my '87 VFR700 project, I'm now into the clutch. The issue is that the clutch wouldn't disengage. After going through the master and slave those mechanisms are operating normally, the plates…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod 10 hours ago, jhenley17 Money? It doesn't even take effort. It just happens without me even knowing. +1
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod The VFR tank makes it. I posted it for sale on my site: http://v4dreams.com/the-shop-blog.html JOE in IL V4 Dreams (dot com)
- VF750 Fuel pump relay operation I think I hear you saying that the relay is pulsing the pump? I don't think that is the case. The pump sounds the same when it's connected directly to power. The relay's function is to allow the pump to run only when…
- Carb Question - What to do about the vent tubes (PAIR removal '90 So I've removed all the PAIR hardware ('90 VFR, 49-state) and am wondering about the three vent tubes exiting the rear of the carb rack. Are they to be plugged? I do know that plugging the largest of the three will kill…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod What an awesome project. Suspension, paintwork, exhaust.... Nicely done. Would like to see some detail shots. I'll bet it sounds great, too! JOE in IL V4Dreams.com
- Psssst.... can I borrow your carbs? I've been trying, but the only promising lead is from a CA model. Still looking.
- Psssst.... can I borrow your carbs? This is a long shot, I know, but the frustration level with my '90 has me thinking outside the box. In an effort to eliminate or isolate, once and for all, the carbs as the culprit, I would like to borrow a running carb…
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) Garage update: 1. When any of the air vent tubes are blocked off the engine dies. 2. Adjusting any of the pilot screws does nothing to the running of the engine, even running them completely in. 3. The popping on #2 is…
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) Well, on the '86-87 there's a small port at each carb that needs plugging, but the '90 doesn't have these, instead there's ports linked by plastic tubes, like the carb vent (and fuel delivery) tubes. As I mentioned,…
