Sparky0227 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 80s Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky0227 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 80s Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 When you get the clutch done and outside on a ride, please take some better pics. Like in "landscape" mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
