Exhaust collector (balance) box

Anyone know if the collector box off a VF500C (V30, Magna) will bolt onto a VF500F/F2 (interceptor)? They look the same and as the bottom ends of the engines are the same so I assume it would fit but nothing beats personal experience. There are quite a few decent condition Magna boxes on Ebay but less F boxes.

The F2 has a larger oil carter so you'd need some extra clearance.

 

Pretty sure they will, but let's ask @TheDutchy

Answering my own question.

VF500F/F2

1984 Collector 18310MF2671  € 525.83 incl. VAT
Superseded by 18310MM1671   € 525.83 incl. VAT

Same part number is listed for both 84/86 bikes

 

1984/85 VF500C 18310MJ8003 € 608.85 incl. VAT

The Magna collector looks very different on the schematic so I think the answer is probably no.

The only difference COULD be the difference in the center stand location.  The exhaust relationship between the engines is exactly the same...   they share the same crankcase.  There's a good chance the Magna center stand location took up more room and the collector could work just fine on the Interceptor, even with a center stand.  The angle of the muffler attachment outlets could be an issue though.

 

The VF1000R collector will mount on a VF1000F.  It has more volume as it takes the space where the F center stand lives.  But the angle of the outlets prevents using any 1000F mufflers.

"The angle of the muffler attachment outlets could be an issue though."

 

From the schematics I have seen, I think this will be the problem.

All the good collectors seem to be in the US. Over here the flanges where the mufflers/silencers attach always seem thin/holed from corrosion.

I will be patient and keep looking for a decent F type.
