vfr 400 basket case 87

[davepreston]

right i have far to many projects on and this is just sitting in the back getting ignored,
95% of the bits are there, engine runs if battery attacted and cross contacted, dont know milage as clocks dont work without a battery and i aint buying one just to sell, but its been sitting for about 10 years without moving anywhere
it does need a bloody good clean and seals all round (still original on there) would make a good little project for someone, as said ive got 4 others atm

will post pics up asked
had offer from a local breaker so this is a short time offer of £175 ono to the org
will need trailered away obviously

usual rules sold as seen, no messing me about, and know this is a project that will need some work doing dont think sticking some oil in and a battery and you'll ride into the sunset

cheers
dave preston

[davepreston]

would also take shinny sv bits for pointy 650 or thou
eg aftermarket shocks, gxsr forks, black rearsets etc

[davepreston]

sorry best i could do with work

[stewie]

So whats the 5% thats missing ? And how much to get it back on the road do you reckon ?, not trying to put you on the spot btw just wondering whether its worth a punt :D

[davepreston]

right it will need new seals all round, a new starter solinoid, a new fuse cover (on top yoke), a new mirror lens, when finding out the details on the bike from honda they said they have all the seals available (blackpool honda) as for the other stuff check ebay lol, oh and obviously new tyres would be a good call
add proper degreaser and soap to your priceing cos like i said it need a fecking good clean

Are you selling a torch with the bike ? :smt048

[punyXpress]

Daytime MOT ? ;)

[stewie]

You have a pm

[BoltonSte]

You know I would Dave, but wife says no!

[stewie]

Sorry to drag up and old thread but this is available again if anyone is interested, havent had the time or the money in the past 6 months to do anything to it, I have added a battery and a starter solenoid and cleaned the tank out plus included in the sale are:
a spare set of forks
new fuse box with cover
spare collector box and down pipes
spare shock
spare rad fan
spare exhaust heat shield

The original price was £175 and with the extra bits and pieces I've probably spent the best part of £350 in total, however due to an impending trip at the back end of the year I want this off the drive asap, the bike is sorn and will need to be trailered or picked up in a van, its a shame but I just dont have the time do anything with it atm, I'm over in warrington not far off the M62 if you want to come over and have a look.
Cheers
Stew

Haha, everything was sorted on that bike, but the 2 borked engines I had...everything else I rebuilt :)

Right, Mrs says monetry, no, acceptance, yes. So we're on a starter, now gotta find some money then if that comes about somewhere to store it haha!

[speedplay]

Plowsie, Im in manchester this weekend, going to be in Northwich and have a trailer....

[plowsie]

Ideal, like I say I'll need to source money first. I'll keep you posted mate. If not, I don't mind the journey up to Stewie's as there's always a warm welcome at the end of it :)

Kind of you to say so matey :)

[stewie]

ok I should point out someone else is interested in the bike as well, might need to a harry hill type 'FIGHT' to decide the buyer :D

[JamesMio]

I'm being really thick, I'm sure, but what are you wanting for this Stew?

[stewie]

[Paul the 6th]

I'll try and upload some later Paul, just heading into work, and yeah think the bike is pretty much complete

[Paul the 6th]

no rush buddy, just wondered :)

also if you're desperate to sell, might help starting a fresh thread with a link to this one... that way the fact that you're now selling it isn't hidden away on page 3 of a thread where davepreston was selling it last year :thumbsup:

p.s. unless you've already done that in which case I am captain dunce-alot

[stewie]

Cheers Paul, Ive a couple of bods showing an interest right now so I'll hold off starting a new thread for now, however herer's a few pics, apologies for the state of my back yard, uts not normally like that ;)

the bikes considerally cleaner now and the fairings were'nt attached when I got it so thats why they look a bit droopy, they just need a few fairing bolts.

[stewie]

Another couple of shots
