So finally I started to fix the stuff that should be fixed... I bought it impulsively in Sweden from an old man, I think in May and brought to mid Europe where I live. I couldn't resist to those stupid brakes. 🙂 It's in very nice, original, unmolested shape, has all the documents from the dealership. Original except one thing, the front right winker stem, what I smashed when I unloaded the bike from the lorry. 😡 If you have one holy grail for sale, let me know (otherwise it will be an interesting 3d printig story). To get registered, I need to do basically just regular service jobs, since the old man only changed oil and washed it in the last 10 years of his ownership. It's time to adjust valve clearence, check the timing chains, because it has some noise, change oil and filters, change brake fluid all over, tyres and break pads, carb sync, get some sort of a coat inside of the tank, so quite a lot things to do. And the bike was standing for the last couple of months and carb floater of the no3 cylinder got stucked...no problem, I have to adjust the valves anyway. 😄 vi sesgo home vf, you're drunkfriend's garagehome, sweet home I was the first who removed the carbs. Felt sooo guilty.

So I know many VF ovners have done them in different versions, and there are kits awable also to buy. As i looked at my VF500F and its tiny outer 5mm oil tube for the top, that is split into lines, I seriusly started to think of doing a convension, but....as I came to Dave Dodges site (sorry copy-paste do not work on job Computers at VFRD for some reason) he is not recomending the kit for the VF500....Why? Site: http://www.honda-v4.com/sabmag/v4honda/oilmod-dd.html Also he clames the low end pressure will rise 3-5psi whit the kit, and increse the top end flow By 3 times and dubble top end feed pressure. Kit is a adapter at oil filter whit new oil lines from that to the top and pluging the orginal feed. I would belive the pressure will stay the same or drop slightly as part of the oil will go to the top?
