  2. 'bar Risers 3 Aug 2013 08:14 G'day All, Does anyone here have raised clip ons, or adjustable 'bars fitted to their VF1000F's? I'm tall with a crook back and find the reach down to the stock bars painful after half an hour or so in the saddle. Also…
  3. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 29 Jul 2013 10:23 [image: h1wo.jpg] Well, did another 300 odd kilometres on the VF yesterday, in company with brother Mick on his '07 K1200GT BMW. No hassles this time with bolts vibrating loose. Only fault I have noticed is a blown LH…

  6. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 24 Jul 2013 08:17 My brother gave me his unwanted topbox. I modified the steel gearsack rack and bolted the box to the rack with ss fasteners. Very solid and I now have secure waterproof storage. Thanks Mick! [image: bk5y.jpg] [image:…
  7. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 9 Jul 2013 08:36 The last job on my list for the present time is to fix the tacho.[image: vion.jpg] Mine has a broken needle, and it doesn't work anyway. I found a used dash assy on local classified's and bough it. Turns out the speedo…
  8. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 9 Jul 2013 08:24 Picked up the recovered seat the other day and fitted it. According to the trimmer the seat had modded to lower the seat height so the US made replica was too big :-/ Still looks way better than the faded blue one or…

  14. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 16 Jun 2013 03:23 Did some more tidying up on the VF this morning. Repainted the tired looking centre and side stands, and citted the rejuvenated 'Gearsack' rack with stainles fasteners. [image: 20130616_122544.jpg] more pix :cool:…
  15. Will's '84 Vf1000F Resurrection 15 Jun 2013 06:59 I do love those big 'ol Fs. I have been forced to stop dragging bikes home for a while, but either one of those or a Sabre will be mine soon enough! Good luck with it. Thanks Mate! Can't wait to take it for a decent…

  18. Time To Rebuild The VF1000R...IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 Jun 2013 10:07 Hmm. I should maybe flush my cooling system before our Summer! Being a VF newbie, and living in a hot climate......do these engines run hot? Curious eh! :unsure: Can you fry eggs on a Baghdad sidewalk in July?? Yeah,…
