Thanks for the response. I have started the painting process with the same stuff. I am cutting back the fender and changing the handlebars out. There is a lot of info on this site, and so far I think your bike is my favorite.

Your bike is great. I just got a 83 vt750. Your bike is great. Where did you get your black lights and speedo etc. Did you lower your bike at all?
Thanks

love the bike i picked up a 84 shadow and i'm going in a similar route what did you do to the rear fender?

I enjoy this site almost daily. Informative and entertaining. Seems to be a small surge of these old scoots here lately. If one is patient and searches throughly, all the info is available within this site to keep these things running.

Great site!! I've been lurking since January. I enjoy and learn from all of you. Picked up a stock '86 vt700 non runner early this year. It had been parked with just under 14k, in a carport, but still exposed to the salt air of the coast. Went with Rust-o-leum satin black on pitted parts , modified rear fender/frame, and misc. other parts. Special thanks to 'tubes_rock' for his posts showing how durable this model can be.
