finbar Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi all, I'm looking for a few owners who have restored/rebuilt VF750Fs for a feature in Practical Sportsbikes in the UK. We're looking for hints/tips/advice/techniques - anything that might encourage or help our readers tackle a resto of their own. It would involve a chat by email (or phone if you're in the UK) and you providing a photo of yourself with your bike to go with your words of wisdom. If you'd be up for helping out, you can contact me at gingersgaff@btinternet.com or on 07875736021 (UK mobile). Thanks in advance for any help. All the best, Gez Kane, Practical Sportsbikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDutchy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 That for sure needs some splaining I guess... Normaly I post on a different board where Tom is also a member of. That's how I got on to this thread.. Anyway, I have been a member for some time, but I never ever posted anything. I have been rebuilding VF's and VFR's for over a decade or even longer. And as in a coincidence, my nickname on the other board is "The Dutchy", so that's why the mishap occured... Maybe I have to change that name, because I don't want to be an intrusion over here.. Sorry if I did.. For the info, I am 45 years old, live in The Netherlands, and I am a V4 enthusiast for at least 30 years.. Have a long list of V4 bikes, owned or still own.. As asked, two pics, the VF750F and the VFkR.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Sparrow75 Posted April 16, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2015 Seb, you are thinking of selling your VF750F? Sweet! I totally needed a decent spares bike. Just kidding. We're all dying to see photos of that thing on a summit somewhere. The build photos of your bike are enough for ten part series in a bike magazine on restoration. Maybe eleven, once its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to find some inspiration for the VF project SEB, its a waste its just sitting there, but its a waste to give up all the nice work you have done to it also!

I'm still looking for VF750F restorers and would love to get in touch with TheDutchy. Not sure that I got your email. Would you mind re-sending it? Many thanks.
