jeremyr62 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted December 5, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2017 The F2 has a larger oil carter so you'd need some extra clearance. Pretty sure they will, but let's ask @TheDutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyr62 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think an 84 collector fits on an 86 so although the oil pan is deeper on the 86 there is still enough clearance. I will have a look at the part numbers on CMSNL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyr62 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 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 VAT Superseded by 18310MM1671 € 525.83 incl.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.

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted December 9, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 9, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyr62 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 "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.
