Well, it did start out pretty damn nice, but it did have some road grime. Elbow grease pretty much. And a tooth brush. Wheel cleaner made for painted / clear coated wheels makes an excellent engine and chassis cleaner too. Spray down with cold water, liberally apply wheel cleaner all over and let it sit for a few minutes. Then start scrubbing. Rinse and repeat as needed. My current favorite is made by Turtle Wax

It should work because I put a 87 700 motor in a 86 frame ie no cam sensor. I had to compare the wiring harness that go into the cdi and modify one or two of the wires. I mite of swapped black boxes also its so long ago. Bike has 750 motor now with HRC cdi. The tach operates off the coil and spark unit for cylinders 1 & 3, yellow wire. I also put aftermarket gauges on one of my 86 VFR its a PITA but everything works.

Thank you! That is in the plan, but it will have to be a little later after the $ting of this round wears off a little. I didn't spend a lot of money, but the shock and fork springs weren't free. As well as the jets and all the o-rings. This reg/rect unit will be donated to my 1992 VFR project to get thru the initial build stages, as that unit is looking a little melty. This 95 is almost done. Finishing up installing a USB port, relocating the horn so the individual stainless brake lines can route where I want them, installing a parallel Fuel Cut Relay switch and a fan override switch. Pictures soon.

I'll add this just for future info. The 87 VFR switched to digital ignition and lost the front cylinder cam sensor. I don't think the 87 "auto-style" dash (tach) would work, even on the 1986 FII with the same looking gauges.

the subframes that the gauges mount to are different '86 to '87.

I wish that someone would give me some bikes to play on!

Looks nice and very well done but all that work and the standard forks and cbs brakes? C'mon. I like the coolant expansion tank though, if that's what is. Über cool.

New shock installed. Refinished stands and controls installed. Subframe re-populated. Staintune polished up. I bought another inner / rear fender to trim down a little smaller than stock and use a plain license bracket. It was perfect and even had the correct year stickers. I just couldn't bring myself to cut on it. So I cleaned up previous trim work that was done for the Comp Werkes fender eliminator and will run this for a while still. I don't mind it, but wanted to switch over while I had it all apart. I'll look for yet another fender to mod.
