Sparky0227 Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 I started riding at the age of 30, a 1977 cb550 basket case that I put together and modified as a cafe racer., sorry no pics. After 5 years of riding and some relationship problems I sold it and have been off motorcycle for 20 years. Last fall a neighbour of mine came across a 1991 vfr 750 for $500 that was in need of some tlc, I brought it home and have spent the last year lurking on this forum and fixing it up. Last week I finally got it on the road only to find the clutch is slipping. I am waiting for a new clutch, hopefully to be here by the weekend. I have always wanted a VFR, and one just fell into my lap, I feel is was destined to happen and can't wait to put some more miles on her. Attached is 1 before pic and 2 of the current condition. 3 Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted June 22, 2022 Member Contributer Posted June 22, 2022 Nice. Looking good. I recently went thru a $400 1990 to flip and when I was almost done bought a 1992 for $500 that I'm going to keep. You are going to enjoy that bike. Have a great summer. Quote
Sparky0227 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Posted June 22, 2022 Thanks Captain 80's, I did all the usual stuff brakes forks exhaust carbs a ton of plastic repair tires painted decals stator and series rr seat recover Its a 91 with 85k km and still runs like a top. If the clutch wasn't slipping i'd be out on it right now, lol Quote
