Here are some pics of my 85 VF1000R Project. She has been off the road since 80's-90's and has 16k on her. The original owner dumped her on the right side but the damage is really only cosmetic. See if you can figure out why he dumped it! :pissed:

Trying to look through the rust on the bare tank to catch the reflection of a guy who thought those turn signals, in that location was a good idea? :biggrin:

Welcome. Seems like you've got a pretty complete starting point. Keep us posted!

The rider was "Bold" for riding a bike with a severely bald tire.... :comp13:

The front tire says it ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!
#7
Yep the front tire even has metal cords coming through! But whats funny is he thought the rear tire was more important because its like brand new!! (minus now dry rotted and cracked) Hopefully the guy will find the title to it! But its gonna be awhile before she is road worthy so I can wait for a lost title!
