All 11- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! The tool has arrived and the inside of the motor looks to be in excellent condition. I am going to clean this up and install it as it is since I have two other motors to build. Once a new motor is done I will swap them…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! Excellent...I was looking for an excuse to buy from David Silver Spares and have heard good things.....The tool is on the way! Edited February 5, 2016 by DrOlds
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! I started looking into the engine last night and discovered two things (well actually three but...) Can someone post a link to the source that sells the socket to remove the clutch nut? Can someone post the bolt size…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! I removed the gauges from the rubber holder and cleaned them. I did not attempt to disassemble the guages themselves since they looked fine.
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! I got the black parts from the powder coater late last night....so I started assembling the front of the bike. This is as far as I got as of 1/17/2016... Next will be the rear of the bike, the fuel pump, coolant and…

- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! Got the frame back from the powdercoater yesterday. (It looks white in the images but it is actually Argent silver with 20% gloss.) I will be using the forks from the assembled bike in the background when this is done…

- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! Well I plan on doing a complete rebuild on the motor as well and obviously you guys know about the gaskets and seals needed to rebuild these motors so I hope I can get them. (I saw a couple Vesrah sets on Ebay so i…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! First some background...This will be my fourth frame up bike restoration. As far as my preference there is no question for me it has to be an 1983 CB1100F (or a 1979 to 1982 CB750F / CB900F)....but...Having the…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! So I have been a long time member of the the F site (I bought a Blue 1100F new and still own it.) Anyway I started with a damaged bike a couple years ago and finally found the second "donor bike" needed to begin the…
