Hi Ripp'n !!!!!!!!!! Well gang... I got it !!!!!!! turns out its a late 88. and the more I look, the better it is...Powder coated white rims, new sprockets, suposed stage 3(head skim and port job, carbs) and the best freak out lately... not 91 zook usd forks, but trick aftermarkets,w/ monster anodized fork clamps, after market clip ons.

heres the gig... sunday,says an old friend, "hey I know about a bike that my kid says,just came up on the market yesterday," Monday, I didn't think anymore about it, found myself drive'n past his kids work.. and stopped. A quick call later, and i'm walke'n up on a gixxer. Turns out, He's the head wrench at a local snowmobile dealer. bought it cause it was so clean,and trick. The rich kid he got it off...gave it to a "hot shop" and had all the upgrades done. Actualy it scared the kids dad so bad, he discouraged the kid so much, he bought a harley, and sold the gix. and the wrench... slow times at the snowmobile shop, and he found out, he's a 1st time dad, last week... hence, it's up for grabs !!!!!!!!! wanted 2200, said 1500 cash, by tues.

now, the unimaginable... by 10am tues, I couldn't scare up 1500$" fun "money. Took my 84 vf1000f down and said "here it is, put it out front in 10 min, for sale, and tell the wifey" I have a ready to sell bike, she'll like that." (easyer to sell, to a broader base of buyers, than a gix, in need of repair) He went for it !!!!!!!
I litteraly had about 400$ into the vf... and alot of love. Turns out the parts were previously orderd and are sit'n at the dealer... about 350$, new skins... and it's a runner. He says he will help me w/ the assembly too. I always get blessed... Clean and free, Ripp'n

hey gang !!!!!!!! It just gets better... I think the whole front end, is yosh, including the front wheel and clamps. the rear wheel, turns out is a marchisini or marvic, both wheels powder coated. The carbs are diff #'s too. Full Yosh exaust. aftermarket kelvalar brake lines. next time you hear about a "deal", go look... could be a real blessing. The "swapper" GAVE me back all spares!!!!!!!, Including the WP ultra res. shock, new jet kit, and brake rebuild stuff, hope'n some of it fits the 94 1000f. Figure 5-6k$ in work and upgrades... on top of a 3.5k$ bike... What a blessing !!!!!!!!!!!! Clean and free, ripp'n
