Hi guys. I just picked up an 84 VF1000F, and I’m super excited to dive into it. Up until now me and my dad have owned 5 VF750 Sabres, but this will be the first interceptor. I picked it up for relatively cheap but it needs a lot of work to be rideable again. I will be restoring this nearly to factory with some upgrades, and I want to hear what you all think are must have mods for these, and what issues to get ahead of. As of now it’s mostly stock, but it does have a supertrapp 4-2 exhaust and the rear shock has been replaced with something newer, and the rear wheel appears to be off a 750 interceptor. Looking forward to learning and sharing the journey with you guys!
