Yesterday another project left the shop as owner Steve brought his trailer to take his baby home to Michigan.
Project 34 is a sparkling 1987 VFR700 F2 with 23,300 miles on the odometer. Steve's Interceptor got a cosmetic and mechanical make-over and is now ready for many more miles and smiles. Steve's owned the bike for many years as it's followed him around the country through moves and a growing family, but he knew the day would come when he and the bike would return to the road. Yesterday was that day.
The carburetors on this one were among the worst in my experience, but once they were sorted the bike came together bit by bit, always with an emphasis on keeping the bike's originality and character in tact. I think we achieved that goal as this is a beautiful survivor, with a look, sound and feel right from 1987. I hope Steve is proud of his VFR and they enjoy many years of safe and enjoyable rides together.
