Love loads uncle Dave all ways in our hearts

Wow, nobody cares I guess, but I do. Thank You for the hard work.

The 17 inch front wheels just make all the difference. The Yamaha FJ's went from in the early models, 16 inch wheel to 17inchs. The handling improvement was just almost unbelievable improvement.

@AndyPearcy you're done an excellent setup of the bike frame and wheels.

Hello Reggie.

The Honda VFR engine is almost idiot proof and putting that engine into this motorcycle is good idea. For the purist; that's their problem.

Excelente.

Hola tengi una moto similar solo que la mia es Honda magna 700 año 86 y de verdad que me a costado mucho cincronizarla. Me gustaría que publicará un video de como es la cincronizacion de dicho motor.

This video does not do this work of art justice. Please make a better video for us to enjoy.

a person could also just use a double banjo bolt from the original position ie like some front brakes run two lines from the master cylinder with back to back bajo's edit: watching the next video logically makes more sense the way you did it

this sounds like an awesome fix for the existing pipes, as far as i had it the problem on the cams had two problems affecting it the one was the oil pipe problems and the other was the fact that the home for the cams wasn't line bored but cast so now a person would see the impact of wobly cams alone on the cams wear needing special tool for valve adjustment problem is still there

If you come to Morocco will you repair my super magna 750

Saludos maestro tengo un problema con mi honda magna vf 750 cuando le doy arranque al motor gira lento ya cambie la bateria y el motor de arranque por unos nuevos y gira igual de lento tanto que no enciende tengo que empujar la moto para encenderla

Thank Peter.

Thank Peter! You right, 27-24 mm should be the appropriate. Is enough 1/10 mm of thread difference that doesn't.

Magneto puller : do you know which type and diameter.thank

Would this engine fit an SR 500? The black n White rag/bag sticking out of the rear hole beside rear engine mount - what is that hole for? Iv seen some bijes with a big round black knob located in it. Thanks.

Hi Andy. Well I must say I am well impressed with your progress so far. A lot of work and design has gone in to this modification and keeping the VF body kit and tank will show of all the mechanical side of the bike. I was never impressed with the VFR with all its body kit and full fairing. It just hid all the interesting parts of the bike. Well done , going to look really good. All the best Mike.

Great job

Well , this showed up in my feed Today , and , being I am retired , managed to binge watch them all . Thanks for uploading your project . I did put some Miles , back in the mid '80's , on a VF1000R , I loved the sound and the pull of the engine , I had progressed from the B.S.A's and Triumphs in the early '60's , to my Z1300 and H.D Shovelheads , riding the VF1000R was a bit of a difference . Can't wait to see the finished article . Growing up with Drums brakes , and Featherbed framed specials , I have often thought of a VF1000R engine , in a Featherbed frame , VF1000R forks and swingarm , laced wheels with 4LS brake and a conical hub rear Wheel .......P.S . Now powder coated , that frame looks '' Factory '' .

I have to turn my petrol to the off position every time i stop on my yds7 as the carbs will gradually over flow, even then then the inline fuel filters will empty over time, what would you think might be the probable cause,

Hi - can I check this is the correct part number F1719362. Mines a 2.2 2015 Custom - I didn't realise these had intercoolers. fyi - local garage wants to plug in diagnostics and even suggested mouse damage. Thank you so much for this.

How much nm/k apply to the cylinder head bolts? greetings from Chile

As far as the battery goes if you ran a lithium unit you could mount it in any direction and fit it under the seat fairly easily I would think…love the progress

Makes me wonder seeing the swingarm pivot mount how a VFR800 motor would fit in the VF frame? For my own curiosity

Subscribed…addicted to watching your progress! Great job and love you speaking out loud as you go thru all the process and thoughts of each hurdle

Love the look of the VF series too! Shame no one ever made any performance or any replacement parts other than the scarce leftovers. Ran into this same problem with an ‘87 shadow I was trying to repair for a friend….no parts!!

Love this project!

Just pm you regarding some bits. Watching this with great interest. Bigger project than you’d think looking at the two engines.

Thanks for this!

I've done a CBR600 fork and swing arm swap. Unfortunately life has been very busy so it's sat for 7 years...

Hey! Do you think, its possible to inspect the rod bearing with only the sump (+ all its contents) removed? I need to inspect them, but I don't want to remove the heads or split the case unless its absolutely necessary.

Doing a lovely Andy, i have one of these, was rebuilt just before i got it, so just restored the bike. I may delve into the engine at some point. Good insight from your work. Thanks for sharing it

Very nice job 👍💪

Hi Andy. Bike is looking great. Is your frame painted or powdercoated? Also, do you happen to know if the original black components are gloss black or a satin black. I'm starting to restore my 83' VF750 and would like to get it back to as original spec if possible.

HI Andy, on the Sabre VF65 1100, the cams are placed in time with the same marks? or cylinders 2-4 go with the markings at 45 degrees? Great video! beautiful cat too

Were did you get the oil pipe and all the fitments , not even sure what I would be looking for , if eBay what did you search

What paint did you use on the engine?? I remember from another video it was Wurth Brand.

This is going to be a unique bike when it’s finished, and will cause some serious head scratching when people encounter it for the first time. Have got one imported USA VF750F Interceptor, and some of a European bike like yours as a donor bike. Needs a full restoration. Fork stansions are heavily pitted due to being stored by the sea before I got it. So I’m interested in the forks and possibly the carbs too. But I’m on a very tight budget due to disability. So if you need silly money, will have to pass. I’m near Derby by the way.

This is an adventurous build mate. Have watched parts 1 & 6 so far. Thank you for sharing. Did you sell the VF750F engine?

I couldn't agree more with you about that thermostat for the radiator fan. That's just, as you say, BONKERS!!!!!! Unless, of course, it kicks in at a lower temperature than one near the engine outlet would be.????

Is this motor the same as the 84 Magna VF700 as far as the head gasket replacement and timing chain etc? I'm picking one up tomorrow that has a bad head gasket on the back head. Only 24K miles on in and in AMAZING shape otherwise for 750 bucks US.

i noticed some of the differences between the vf750f & c & s versions.the f has gear drive cams & bucket shims where the c & s have chain drive cams & adjustable followers.& probably more that arent obvious here.nice job.

Quero comando serto deste motor

Eu quero saber ponto serto deste motor

Saludos amigo. Donde conseguiste ésas conexiones de aceite?.

Super kewl project!!!!

Great build really enjoying the vids!

Great motor I say go for it!. I was contemplating a ktm LC8 or an Aprilia V4 but haven't come across anything as yet but am installing set of CBR900 6 spoke HRC styled wheels rotors and calipers for the time being

My front tensioner I think is backwards. It wasn't sitting right when I pulled it apart and was missing 3 bolts.
