Hello Skip.......thanks for sharing - good stuff!
Maybe you remember I have two '83 VF750's - both in BLUE and both in running condition.
But I also picked up a RED version this summer - not in running condition.
Pretty sure I have everything needed to get her running again - just have to budget the time to do so. And to be honest - it's not super high on the motorcycle work priority list.
Oddly enough I have been cleaning the fuel tank a bit, so at least it will be ready. A previous owner for some reason spray painted the top white...but overall not in bad shape and I do have the locking cap for it, petcock, and sending unit.
And FWIW, I only got it because the seller also delivered two BLUE '87 VFR700's.....plus a bunch of spare parts......and I think I did him a favor by taking this one off his hands.
One of the VFR700's was in complete running condition and came with a center stand - very rare for this model. The other was a rolling donor bike.
Also - was chatting with a cycle friend tonight and he mentioned a product called "Plexus" for cleaning and protecting plastics. He gave it rave reviews! Might have to give it a whirl.....
