  1. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 17 Aug 2012 14:08 need some advise! Kind of at a stand still. I have the carbs and airbox installed on the VF1000R, she's ready to kick over, pushed the start button and....starter not cranking. Tested the starter relay on another bike,…
  2. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 17 Aug 2012 14:01 madpat88 I really like your project! You did a great job there. I was wondering is it also possible to fit a VFR750 engine in a VF750F frame? How much work would that be? Thanks in advance! Not sure about the 750R into…
  3. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 11 Jul 2012 13:13 VF1000RS Hammer and chisel ouch! If you need to do the clutch on the R let me know. I have the socket for the clutch nut. You can borrow it. I just might take you up on that! (hammer and chisle did the job though) When…
  4. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 30 Jun 2012 16:11 Update on the 2 bikes.... The 84F I replaced the clutch discs yesterday, restored a lot of power and performance! The job was pretty easy to do. There are a series of 9 clutch plates and 8 discs. That castle nut that…
  5. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 19 Jun 2012 01:32 getting close on the 86, hooked up the exhaust, handlebar controls, clutch, brakes, had new tires mounted, chain, most of the electrical is hooked up. Seems I am missing one headlight bracket. I probably have it…
  6. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 16 Jun 2012 20:26 A couple more VF1000F pictures. So far runs awesome! [image: post-22007-0-09297000-1339878308.jpg] [image: post-22007-0-43180300-1339878359.jpg]
  7. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 12 Jun 2012 22:49 Here it is folks the finished product 1984 VF1000F!!! wow, what an adventure building these 2 bikes. I still have a few issues to figure out. One leaking fork seal, a small oil leak from the shift shaft(probably a seal…
  8. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 7 Jun 2012 12:41 Got working on her today, my goal to get all the cooling system hooked up. This process was quite a bit different from the Vf1000F. This system is set up like a puzzle. You have to start with the fan assembly and bolt…
  9. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 1 Jun 2012 01:43 Installed the VF1000R engine today, all by my lonesome. Smashed a couple fingers, but got her in. All down hill from here. [image: post-22007-0-43674100-1338514963.jpg]
  10. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 26 May 2012 17:26 No new news on the 84 build, still at my mechanic's going through the carbs. But, Started on the 86 VF1000r. I switched out the front forks and have the good motor ready to install. i will post pictures of the 84F next…

  12. Polished GEM! VF1000F 4 Apr 2012 19:19 [image: View Post]Veefer800Canuck, on 04 April 2012 - 10:57 AM, said: That is a lot of work. I think it would go best in a VF1000F chassis with stock F bodywork so you could actually see the motor. In an R chassis, with…

  15. Polished GEM! VF1000F 4 Apr 2012 15:13 Drove to Caifornia and picked up this beauty! Dude completely dissasembled and polished and rebuilt. He made a custom chopper frame for it, but did not leave room for the stock air box. Hundreds of hours of work put…
  16. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 4 Apr 2012 14:15 JamieDaugherty Man, I really need another spare engine! Hey Jspout: if you get one that you are willing to sell let me know. I get down to Springfield MO a couple of times each year so pickup is not a problem. Hey…
  17. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 4 Apr 2012 14:01 The 84 Vf1000F is now at my mechanics and they are dialing it in, but need some carb parts. Anyone have some or know if the carb boots from any other models will fit the 1000? All the boots I have are cracked or split.…
  18. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 7 Mar 2012 15:18 Got the rear wheel bearings changed and wheel and exhuast mounted, rolled her outside, sprayed some starter fluid in the carbs, rigged up a funnel for gas and..... She fired right up! Ran for about a minute and I…
  19. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 28 Feb 2012 15:44 Update on the 84vf1000F progress: Got the rear tire mounted and am waiting for a new set of wheel bearings to rinstall the wheel and chain. I had to use a propane torch to heat up the hub to free the old bearings.…
  20. Project 85 VF1000R 28 Feb 2012 15:16 Veefer800Canuck Yeah, that's a problem. Unless JD can take the shock back, deflate it, install a 90' fitting to reorient the hose, and recharge the shock? I fit the same shock on my 84 1000F and have the same issue. I…
  21. Check out this VF1000R I came across 12 Feb 2012 16:13 [image: View Post]Veefer800Canuck, on 12 February 2012 - 10:33 AM, said: Umm yeah, a 600lb, 130hp dirt-bike, perfect for mud wrestling. And when the bike wins, you get to wear it as a hat. "Can somebody get this thing…
  22. Check out this VF1000R I came across 12 Feb 2012 15:29 Giving me some ideas. They call it "Magnificent bastard" Attached Images [image: MagnificantBastard.jpg]
  23. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 10 Feb 2012 15:08 Making progress, down to detail stuff. I put the front fender on, the battery cage, relpaced all the fuses, and put the reflectors on it from the other VF1000f, changed the oil and filter, connected the choke cable.…
  24. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 4 Feb 2012 05:51 OK, got the carb finished, and I feel pretty good about it. let me know if you see something out of place in the pic. I finished the plumbing and electrical. Filled the radiators and.... NO LEAKs!!! Frickin amaizing.…
  25. Project 85 VF1000R 3 Feb 2012 14:07 Nice work on the paint, what will be the final tally of the paint and decals?
  26. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 30 Jan 2012 13:39 wlodek1980 I think Honda even said not to take the plenum off unless you wanted to replace o-rings. Nevertheless, pushing carbs loose will easily damage plastic connections and loosen up the o-rings, then you end up…
  27. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 29 Jan 2012 17:20 SEBSPEED Put them back together BEFORE you install them on the bike... I thought about installing them on the plenum first, but everything was apart, and i needed to see everything from the top view. I was having a hard…
  28. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 28 Jan 2012 15:59 SEBSPEED Oh you tried to install the carbs with the intake plenum off... [image: doh.gif] Yea had to, they were already apart that way, suckkkeed, but did it. i have to do the same the the VF1000r I am building too. At…
  29. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 28 Jan 2012 04:47 Got them damn carbs on today! I Just took my time and was patient. Got the front 2 to drop in pretty quickly, just had to make sure the 5 connector pieces were going into the right places then got to the back ones and…
  30. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 27 Jan 2012 13:07 wlodek1980 if you mean putting carbs back onto the engine then you can: - heatup carb rubbers with a heatgun or boiling water to make them soft again - oil them to aid assembly - front ones go in first then rear ones at…
  31. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 24 Jan 2012 15:17 Question: I have cleaned the carbs and have attempted to reinstall them, not spent a lot of time yet. Does anyone have a system or technique to reinstalling them and keeping all the connectors together. I would…
  32. Project 85 VF1000R 20 Jan 2012 13:55 Great work, I'll be getting to my R build soon too, you are definately giving me some ideas.
  33. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 17 Jan 2012 13:52 I decided to go with the carbs from the original motor, since they were the lowest miles, plus the previous owner was smart when he removed them and drained the remaining fuel. I opened them up and cleaned them this…
  34. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 11 Jan 2012 14:26 It is my obsevation, since I have been building the Vf1000F and VF1000R bikes at the same time, that the R engine front head engine mounts are unneccessary if you were to put into an F frame. The F frame has a cross bar…
  35. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 7 Jan 2012 03:29 The motor is in.... Yea! I installed it the same way I took it out, by laying the motor on it's side and laying the bike on top of it untill the front and top mounts were lined up on the right side, then stood the bike…
  36. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 29 Dec 2011 14:34 JeffLaurence But then you need windows cut into the fairings..... Yea, quite the quandry! However the lower fairing may protect the motor some. I'm wondering how I'm gonna keep it cleaned and polished. seems labor…
  37. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 29 Dec 2011 13:38 Is there an easy way to test for leaks before I put the carbs back on and install? Hook up a water hose or something?
  38. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 28 Dec 2011 21:40 OK, Just an update. I removed the carbs from the engine and pulled out those nasty waterpipes from the heads. I have a better set to install and I also ordered a new set of the Orings for the waterpipes. QUESTION:…
  39. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 21 Dec 2011 14:39 If ya'll were wondering, the collector boxes for the 84F(pictured on the right) is completely different than the 85R(left). They are not compatible if you plan on bolting them to the rear mounts. It will not leave room…
  40. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 21 Dec 2011 14:27 Pulled the motor from the running F bike. Not as difficult as I had thought it would be. First had to remove the exhaust, lower radiator and thurmostat housing. I was going to remove the carbs, but after tinkering for a…
  41. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 10 Dec 2011 12:51 Here is a picture of the awesome pollished VF1000F motor in a custom chopper build. Great imagination! This is the motor that will go into my bike in the picture above. [image: post-22007-0-39834300-1323521514.jpg]…
  42. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 6 Dec 2011 04:30 Got the white 84 bike running today. I had to replace the starter switch, the starter relay and the ignition switch. Then put some gas in my makeshift funnel gas tank, sprayed some starter fluid in the carbs and she…
  43. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 1 Dec 2011 14:57 New acqusitions... The shock got in trade for an extra exhuast I have and the polished motor i could not resist. was an ebay purchase. Made sense because it came with the DRP oil mod which I was going to purchase soon…
  44. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 30 Nov 2011 01:49 Always been partial to ISIS. May have to sacrifice one of my cats. LOL I was ready to fire it up yesterday, connected a battery and the electrical seems a mess on that bike. Bad start switch and I think ignition switch…
  45. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 29 Nov 2011 13:20 Yesterday I changed the plugs, I had a better set of plug wires, replaced those, and the coils were cracked and old looking so I put a fresh set of coils on there. Gave a few more squirts of Mystery oil into the…
  46. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 26 Nov 2011 22:40 When I am done Jamie I will have a couple good motors left. Let me know when you are around. What I need is an oil mod kit. Or 2
  47. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 26 Nov 2011 05:19 Yes, a Vance & Hines complete 4 into 2 exhaust, however says Vance & Hines in the painted stripe on the fairing, paited in, not a decal. Odd. Plus, I got this bike from the original owner and he did'nt have a stock…
  48. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 25 Nov 2011 21:09 I have a question about exhaust. The RWB Vf1000F I have came with a Vance and Hines system with pipes and not a collector box. V & H is printed on the fairing red stripe. My white one has the stock set up. Was the Vance…
  49. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 25 Nov 2011 20:56 here is a pic of the VF1000F motor from the RWB bike. It is a good clean motor with a bad transmission, only 14,000 miles. But, is completely taken apart, I am going to use as many parts from this motor on the other…
  50. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 25 Nov 2011 20:38 OK, started turning wrenches today! The process has begun. This first picture here is both VF1000F bikes next to each other. The motor from the bike in the foreground(the white bike) is going into the other in the back.…
