  3. Clutch Slave Cyl 8 Nov 2010 05:52 The vast majority of Honda clutch slave cylinders are interchangeable, so yes, that swap will work. I say that with 100% certainty, as I did the exact same thing (same models/years).

  7. So, how "rare" is rare? 30 Sep 2010 03:05 I paid $350 for my VFR 700, had it on the road the next day. Pass on the VF1000F, and look for a second gen VFR. Gear driven cams, it's a good thing. :fing02:

  10. Wider front tire than stock, good idea or bad? 6 Sep 2010 13:04 What influenced my decision the most is that there is a 120/80 on the front now (which is pretty worn, hence why I'm replacing it), and I really like the way the bike handles. I don't want to change things and…

  15. Wider front tire than stock, good idea or bad? 4 Sep 2010 01:02 I thought I saw a thread on this a while back, but I can't find it. I recently picked up an '86 VFR700F2 (I'll be starting a thread for pictures and repairs I'm doing soon), and the front tire that was on it was a…

  37. WTB: Manual for 1986 VF500F 5 Nov 2009 07:55 Ok, so apperently, unlike EVERY other manufacturer, Honda doesn't simply have the shop or even owners manual on their website. You have to BUY one. I have no interest in buying a manual, but can't seem to find a free…
