  1. Zero drag

     

    I actually have some wheels and brakes changes in the works for this bike.  Not huge performance gains, but some bling for sure.  Should finish the look of this bike nicely.

    Killin' me slo.  Looks just like the 95 I just bought and waiting for the shipper to finalize logistics to get it to me.  Has the Staintune as well.

     

    Nice.

    They are Avon AM22/23 Sprint Compound road legal race tires.  The reason they look so good is because Avons run quite a bit wider than the nominal size.  Plus they are 70 series but have a perfect profile on these rims.  120/70-16 and a 130/70-18 (which they now list as a 135/70-18, but dimensionally identical).  They are the best bias ply tires I have ever ridden on.  They are VERY expensive now. 

  2. Great looking bike. What yr. model ? and how much $ for all the mods. ?

    Thank you all very much. It's a 1986 VF500F

    I have owned this bike since 1988, so all of the things done to it have been over a long period of time. One of the first, was the Telefix lowers, followed by the Spec II pipes and Telefix Clip-ons. Then just kept doing more over time.

    It is still one of my favorite bikes to ride. Every time I get on it after riding some of my others, I always say to myself, "GODAMM I love this bike!"

    So again, thank you for the kind words.

    Sincerely,

    Mike.
