No such luck. If you're looking to get a lower seat height, the easiest thing to do would be to remove some of the foam from the seat and get it recovered. ...
No adjustments but you might be able to find differnt clip-ons or risers that will fit the same fork tube size that are taller/higher. Maybe goldwing...
Hello group. Quick question, has anyone upgraded the headlight or made the conversion to halogeon? I was riding my 86 VF500F this weekend late at night and...
John, The lamp in the VF500F is halogen, standard H-4 IIRC. 55/60W I think. I upgraded to a 55/100W "off road" lamp, works great (but not "legal"). As far...
I have the HID Conversion of my VF500 and it's great. Very easy Plug and Play kit. Looks very bright and everyone can see me coming. Doesn't blind anyone. HID...
Where did you buy the kit? I am very interested! Â /John ... From: schembri_m <schembri_m@...> To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 2, 2008...
thought I was going to be without my bike for a couple weeks until I read thru the threads and found the fuel valve mod on Jamie's website, worked great, no...
by the way, i just received my t-shirt and it is really great!!!!!! thank you bob m! `helens. ... From: eyemyapache <eyemyapache@...> Subject: [VF500F]...
As much as I hate to do this, I am selling my 84 Interceptor 500. I only have space in the garage for one bike, and it is time to let someone else have fun...
It's just a generic Motorcycle HID Conversion Kit. Fits any H4 bulb bike. I bought it off a guy who owned a bike with an H4 and then sold it. Kit was around...

The "collector" is a way to plumb the headers to the mufflers. To say that it is "needed" only depends on what you are going to replace it with. It does...
From my previous VFR750F ('93 RC36) ownership, and knowledge, the pre-exhaust chamber adds some (some !) mid-range torque. The next RC36 "II" had no more it,...
So if i were to just replace it with 2 T pipes connecting the headers would it cause enough back pressure or would there need to be more. ... say that it is...
Header design would require a bit more than just 2 T pipes. Not that you couldn't do that, but if you did you would surely loose some horsepower. On the 4-2...
My 86` ceptor is running great right now and has 32,000 miles on it. I am riding it all i can to save on gas and there is the bonus of just riding it. I am...
I have 47000+ on my 84 VF and it is running strong. I had a 1992 ST1100 that had 120,000 miles on it when I traded it in on a 1300. I have a friend who put...
I believe that the longevity of the engine would be directly related to how well the bike is maintained and how much abuse these little engines are subjected...
Since you have the 86 with the line bored cams, better cam cap followers, larger oil pan, and larger oil pump I suspect you will easily get to 100K with proper...
Proper adjustment isn't going to save the top end, you'd need to replace the valve springs as routine maintenance. Anything over 50,000 miles and the 500's...
Does anyone know of a race compound pad that will fit the stock calipers? The EBC HH pads I'm using don't seem to be able to take the heat and glaze quickly. ...
Thanks to all for trying to help me. I got fed up and brought it to the shop. When I talked with the guy there he said "it's probably just a blow fuse". I said...
Your credit, Chris. Self-derision is not an easy art. Whom of us could tell : "This has (will) never happen to me" ? And now, ride on ! ;o)) Noël ... ...
Well, you learned not to overlook the obvious. It could have been much worse! A blown fuse is a blessing when you consider the age of the electrical harness...
