ClassyClassic1300

Sorry Prairiehammer. I thought it would be considered 2nd gen. Learning as I go. Thank You.

Big thanks for the tips! Did not know that about the fuse block. Will take care of that during the revival. Lots of great advice. Hopefully, the mechanicals won't require much but I'm not holding my breath after so many years of sitting. My buddies are trying to talk me into buying a Harley but I just can't see spending that kind of money. Plus, it's dad's bike, so the sentimental element is there. He loved this bike. Even now, I still think they look really good. Another question, are there any modern lighting options for these? I'd like to update the lights to LED maybe, and the headlight especially, to LED or HID if anything is available. Thanks again for all the help!!!!

Have had my dad's VR1300 for years now since his death and it had sat for years before that (inside a garage). It needs to be completely gone through. I'll need, at least, complete gasket sets I'm sure. Hoping it doesn't need much more than spit and polish and a bit of rechroming. Any information I may need to be aware of? I plan to keep this bike. It was dad's after all. Not to mention it's a damn good looking bike!! I have fond memories of the one road trip we took with it not long after he bought it in 87. Not many trips were taken after that one so I know it has incredibly low mileage. Any tips and info are greatly appreciated. :-)
