- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection May 17, 2016 2 weeks has passed since last post, no progress on this project. Been busy rebuilding my pull behind motorcycle trailer that I've built 2 years ago, on the way back from Sturgis in 2014 got hit by a piece…
- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection Yes, it looks somewhat complicated, I e-mailed Pete cause I had some questions, he told me he's done about 15 of them.
- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection Allyance, 5/14/2016 at 1:14 PM I did my 83 last summer, paint & powder coat, replaced just about all the rubber parts & seals (Ozone & age makes them brittle), OEM part are all available on Partzilla. Any aluminum parts…

- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection I looked closer at the rear shock today, pulled the boot off. No signs of oil leak. As per manual, it says to remove the seal in order to replace the fluid. I don't have the special tools (yet) to remove/install…
- Help Needed Finding Coolant Leak Another option is to use fluorescent dye. You will need a dark garage and a black light for this. Works very good, i used this method to find an oil leak on my car. Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk
