  1. Throttle cable 21 Aug 2013 18:56 I don't know if anyone is interested in this or not but before I build my cable I ordered something off Amazon to try it. I forgot to cancel it so I ended up purchasing them. Here is a kit to make your own Throttle…
  2. Throttle cable 20 Aug 2013 22:11 I bought some lube and then forgot to use it so I will do that next. :) and as far as the solder goes we pulled extremely hard on it and it didn't budge. I don't think it is going anywhere. It seemed to work very well.
  3. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 17 Aug 2013 02:18 Thanks! It's been fun to work on here and there. Ant thoughts on what might add to the look? I was thinking take off the slip on and putting on exhaust tips. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 4
  4. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 16 Aug 2013 14:27 Ok, so I don't know if anyone is still following this, it's been a while since I have had a chance to do much. Here are a few pics of how my bike currently sits. It'as hard to do a lot on it as I have to have it ready…
  5. Helmets For Naked Riders...err Riders Of Nakeds 13 Aug 2013 17:15 I ride an 86 VF500F Fighter, and use a Scorpion EXO-700. Haven't had any issues. I really want to get the new Bell Rogue, I think it would go great with the Street Fighter look.
  6. What Do I Do?! 16 Jul 2013 15:53 Well I wasn't aware it was wrong when I bought it, I trusted the dummy at Edge. It actually handles 10 times better then what I had on it before, but I think the reason is because the one before was a different type of…
  7. What Do I Do?! 15 Jul 2013 21:55 So beginning of the riding season I noticed my rear tire was completely shot. Being new to motorcycles, and completely broke I did some research and ordered a Shinko 230 Tour Master. Now I have put quite a few miles on…
  8. Very Quick Suspension Question 7 May 2013 20:56 Unfortunately that is $30bucks more than I have right now and a lot more time then I have right now. We are going to be moving soon, and I have to much going out right now. Sooo I will just keep riding the way I have.
  9. Very Quick Suspension Question 7 May 2013 20:49 Well not exactly fine. My buddy put more air in them and I thought I heard him say he matched the left front fork to the right and that was 60psi. and did the same with the rear. It rides really nice, but I just learned…
  10. Very Quick Suspension Question 7 May 2013 20:38 Uh... no... :mellow: . I have no idea what I am doing. Annndd I'm broke.
  11. Very Quick Suspension Question 7 May 2013 20:31 how do you drain the water? Sorry for the ignorance I am just very new to this.
  12. Very Quick Suspension Question 7 May 2013 20:23 Just wondering, when checking the air pressure in your forks/rear shock. Do you have to use a special gauge or just a normal tire gauge? As always, thanks for the help! Tyler
  13. Could I Make It Work? 2 May 2013 17:34 Oh well if that is the case then there is no point. I need something that will help!
  14. Could I Make It Work? 2 May 2013 17:06 So I noticed the other day that I need a new rear shock, I sometimes bottom out with the one I have. Unfortunately I am broke. I have the opportunity to get a 99 Bandit 6 shock for a decent price I think. Can I make…
  15. My Vf500 Exhaust System 1 May 2013 22:10 Oh good to know. Thanks!
  16. My Vf500 Exhaust System 1 May 2013 21:48 so if you cut it open you can just remove that stuff? Is there any other "emissions crap" on the bike you can get rid of? Again I am trying to lighten the bike.
  17. My Vf500 Exhaust System 1 May 2013 20:21 Alright that's what I originally thought. Thanks
  18. My Vf500 Exhaust System 1 May 2013 14:51 So I was reading something the other day, and the guy was talking about the catalytic converter on his bike. I always thought Motorcycles did not have them. Am I off on this? I can't seam to really find any information…
  19. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 4 Apr 2013 13:29 I am not sure the frame thing will work very well. I think this project is going to be a mess no matter how I look at it. :unsure:
  20. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 3 Apr 2013 18:53 Ok I need suggestions on how to minimize wires that are around the headlight currently. I am also thinking taking off the current console and putting on a small speedo and probably a temp gage as well. Any thoughts?
  21. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 1 Apr 2013 19:49 So over the weekend I starting looking into new things to do to the bike. Started pulling off plastics, and working on some new ideas. I am kinda seeing a little more street fighter coming out! :goofy: This caused me to…
  22. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 29 Mar 2013 12:36 I don't exactly know if I want to do it yet, I am working up the courage! :unsure: Ideally I would like to get something different like a cx500 or something and work on that, but alas I just don't have the money for…
  23. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 20:02 Also back on subject. I was going to first remove all of the fairing, but I can't decide how I would hide all of the wiring a little bit more. I can either try to re-route it, or get a mini fairing to cover everything.…
  24. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 18:34 I would be running a continental in the front and michelin in the back. Also can someone explain to me the difference between a bias and radial tire? Edited March 28, 2013 by VF500FInterceptor
  25. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 18:05 mk2davis- I am not really sure what LMO means, but I can use photoshop a little bit. YoshiHNS and 2thdr, either going to do two shinko's or because the front is in good condition just put a michelin on the rear. I just…
  26. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 17:18 That's what I have been thinking. I have been looking at Michelin, but I think I would fall into more of that commuter/budget conscious range. Mainly I just want to make sure it won't blow up on me randomly while riding…
  27. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 16:55 LOL I appreciate your concern. I would NEVER do anything to put my daughters life in danger. I am actually holding onto her leg and her arm. I am not very experienced with working on bikes, but I have seen a few cool…
  28. Cafe Racer... Whats Your Opinion? 28 Mar 2013 15:17 Hey everyone, I have been looking at some Cafe Racers lately, and am really digging some of the different looks. I kinda gave me the itch for one. Have been thinking of turning my 86 vf500f into a (type) of Racer. Not…
