All 27- 1983 VF750F Front calipers fully rebuilt.. Broke the anti-dive bolt before 27 ft-lb could be attained. Now a helicoil is required to fix. Had visions of bleeding brakes and filling forks with oil and front end would be done. Ugh.…
- 5k resitor caps, plugs, coils While doing some cooling system upgrades on my 1983 vf750f, I am going to replace my plugs and wires.. Pretty hard and they have 5k resistors in the caps. The plugs are DR9EA with 5k resistors. Has anyone put standard…
- Master cylinder questions The window is cracked from time. No lever so can't test piston. Good shape housing. Unknown if window is replaceable. Free! Shipping will be pretty cheap. I'll take some pics tomorrow in daylight.
- Master cylinder questions I think I have a master on my 83 750 frame.. You want? Can't cost but 6 to ship.

- 1983 VF750F Thank you! I looked at Dymag and it seems similar to CH3, but does not say Dymag. To test if aluminum or magnesium should tell me more.
- 1983 VF750F Front is 3 distinct spokes and deep offset wheel bearings. The braking rotors and rear sprocket part numbers all turned up nothing when searching. Apparantly all items discontinued... Or numbers stamped have to cross to…
- 1983 VF750F Thanks for again being the guy with the answers! I am not too fond of them either. Will move to back and get more motocross style with some bite.
- 1983 VF750F Trendy track bike parts or awesome parts?
- 1983 VF750F Although unknown cbr 17s with rotors and sprocket, stock front axle and brakes. Am following fsm for axle torque. Assured axle installed correctly. Right leg is torqued. Left TRAC leg controls width vs caliper mount to…
- WTB control switches I figured 80s Honda or Kawi would be easiest to find a parts bike to buy from. I will look into cbr gear.. Good tip. PO already converted to 17s from some cbr so no worry for oem restoration... I save that analness for…
- 1983 VF750F It appears I need the flanged and longer bushing in the fork leg. Flange to caliper or out?
- 1983 VF750F In the 8 months since I took the front calipers off for rebuild, I have lost or incorrectly installed the left TRAC arm. See the bushing in the caliper bolt is longer than the bushing in the TRAC hole of fork. Both…
- 84 VF 750 Tires? I use Battlex BT45s on my last Ninja.. BT23 on all my sport bikes. 23 is a phenomenal tire of 3 compounds.
- 1983 VF750F At 500 to 700 miles per week, I rack up oil changes fast. Cars go up to 5k on oil. All my motorcycles get oil and filter close to 3k as practical.. I see what you mean about the bracket. Mine has 3 on the upper and one…
- 1983 VF750F During operation thermostat and radiator hoses I have discovered the fact that the lower radiator is right on top of the oil filter. I am not going to remove the radiator every 6 weeks to change the filter. Hmmm.

- WTB control switches Anybody?
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) The theory is more volume and potentially cleaner oil to the cams. I am curious where that kit was purchased from?
- WTB control switches I am restoring DOT compliance to a track trim. I need both switch controls from any honda. My 83 VF750 had it's light, horn, starter buttons and contacts all gutted from housings. Criteria: Electric start Harness ends…
- 83 vf750 interceptor restoration PICS?!
- 83 - 85 center stand spring Thanks guys! That is the lug I had found. The magna must be different.. This spring is 4 7/8 inside the hooks..
