While at Rice-O-Rama yesterday, I picked up a NOS white chin fairing thinking that Michael could use it on his VF750F. Then I remembered that our bikes don't have white chin fairings - they're pearl. So if anyone is interested in this for their VF500, I'll offer it here first, at my cost before I put it on eBay. $100 gets it shipped to you in the U.S. I can post a picture later when I get home, but this is indeed like new, minus the black "grill."

If you're interested, PM me and we can work out the details.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom, the 500's chin fairing has a different shape from the 750's plus they have no grill since they have no lower radiator.

Interesting. Then maybe this is from a different year VF750 that had white instead of pearl?

The two are identical except for the color. I'll have to look into this a bit more...

That's definitely a 700/750 chin fairing. Maybe an Airtech with a sticker on it? The later year 700's WERE whiter and less pear I think.

The 500's look like this.

You nailed it Kel. It's a VF700 chin fairing. Honda used Shasta White on the VF700's and Pearl Shell White on the VF750's.
