All 17- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... taglicious, 6/8/2019 at 9:02 PM I would do internal matting for the lowers if you are purchasing them. Fnd the heat resistant matting (they are thinner than the rest, just make sure you measure & cut, before placing,…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... Captain 80s, 6/8/2019 at 11:04 AM Which pieces did you order? I’ve got three pieces coming - the left and right lower fairings and the street tail section. (VFR7502, VFR7503, VFR7504S) Still waiting to to hear back from…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... taglicious, 6/6/2019 at 11:04 PM Heads up on Airtech. They are nice, BUT, make sure you have cutting tools, fiberglass drill bits & dremel tools handy. Depending on what you ordered, they will also need brackets made,…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... Stray, 6/3/2019 at 1:32 PM I’m personally not a slave to OEM. What’s the point? Top trumps? No, if I were you I’d build the bike I want. The one I dream of. This is your chance to do just that. I can understand keeping…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 2 hours ago, Dutchy If you are in it for the monetary gain/re-coup in the future, I'd walk way now.... :goofy: What? I should’ve bought a Harley? 😳 I rather think of it as trying to avoid mistakes that there’s no need…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 11 hours ago, Captain 80s AirTech Beasley Thanks! I just discovered V4dreams and have been “researching” there a bit. Looks like Mr. Nelson has found a KIA paint that’s a very good match for the ‘86 white pearl. That’s…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... Ok, I’ll admit to being a bit of an OEM slave. My thinking is that you have to be pretty damn good to do better than Soichiro! Plus, part of what motivates me is preserving these bikes as they were intended. That said,…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... I’ve been poking around looking at fairings. If my goal is original replication, whose got the best product? I guess nobody offers a finish painted option? To do it right, I’ll need both left and right lowers and the…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 7 hours ago, Dutchy Being a VFR700 (and not a VF....) cams shoudl be ok. But I'd inspect them 1st prior to pouring serious money into her..... 👍
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 4 hours ago, jeremyr62 If at the end of the day you didn't want to go two keys, a decent locksmith could re-pin the locks so they take the same key. It isn't actually difficult to do but you need access to a variety of…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 5 hours ago, Captain 80s You should be able to find an ignition switch. Probably aftermarket. And you can then go 2 keys. Or I have had a key cut with each number on opposite sides. The locks only use one side. The…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 4 minutes ago, Captain 80s What I am saying, is, they key number stamped into the seat lock is very likely the same for the cap. Get that key made. Ahh, got it. I’ll do that. What about ignition assembly? Is there a…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 3 minutes ago, Captain 80s you need to get into tank, tho, right? Yes, of course but I can drill that out if needed and find a keyed replacement or go with keyless aftermarket.
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 24 minutes ago, Dutchy +1 and if THAT fails, dremel a slot for a sturdy screddriver Seat lock is already removed - I just don’t have a key for it.
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 1 hour ago, Captain 80s Remove the ignition. In an area that is not visible when mounted, is the key number (like A47 or D16). Get that key made. That low mileage of a bike, all the other keyed items should still match.…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... 12 minutes ago, MaxSwell Welcome to the asylum. I'd say that machine has a future in the right hands. Any body work come with it? Good luck and good wrenching. Here’s the story - I’ve got about $3K in mind to put toward…
- Parked in ‘88 w/ 7,888.8 miles... ...VFR700 F2. Does this bike want to be a good bike? - or a bad bike. [image: 45659931-C517-4A6C-8F32-8757B1C33917.jpeg] [image: 6727AD45-D3E8-4363-9140-C6BB6954E11D.jpeg] [image:…
