My new 86 VR

[tufftom4]

This is the new to me VR that I got for 700$ The carbs need to be cleaned but runs good with the choke partially on. It has some rash on the fairing from the guy dropping it in the garage but everything works on the bike the only problem I have is that it is in Kilometers not US standards, oh and it has an oil leak and needs the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder rebuilt from sitting so long. It only has 71,000 km on it witch is only about 44,000 miles so I think I did good. And I need to know how to take off the damn stickers on the fake gas tank cover....

Looks like you got a deal. You can leave it in Kms, or scrounge up a U.S. cluster.

 

A heat gun or the wife's blow dryer should help get the stickers off.

Heak of a deal, you did good, i am looking at an 83 right now for 400 that has not run for awhile, fearing broke up by the left blinker and who knows what elece is wrong, yea 700 is a realy good deal on that, i have an 86 and i love it.

If you decide to change the km-Cluster to mls Instruments , i'd gladly take it off your Hands, Especially if the Battery Warning Circuit is not flashing constantly. Mine has a burned off Chip inside....
