In the final episode on the 1986 Honda VF1000R recommission project, we refit the repaired lower radiator, check and flush the coolant system, reassemble the bodywork and take the bike on its first shakedown ride before the final reveal.
Hello Andy. I looked for your contact information but can't find it. I have an '86 VF1000R that's complete, sat a long time in someone's garage, and probably should be restored. I'm in northern California. Are you taking on any work?
Yes we are taking on clients, but there is about a 6 month backlog at the moment. You can contact me at “mcsr_52@comcast.net”. We can discuss if you want to just recommission it, do a sympathetic restoration where we keep as much originality as possible or a full nut & bolt resto. Look forward to discussing it with you!
