Hey Dirk!
I have a shot at a 1985 VF1000R cheap... but it's cheap because it has a seized motor. I'd rather rebuild what I got than put someone else's problem in my new bike, but I am having some problems finding a few things for the rebuild- Like the pistons, rings and such.
Here's what I think I'll probably need:
Piston set (rings wristpins, etc)
Oil pump
Cam bearings
Rod bearings
**maybe** cams, have to wait until I get it home and pulled apart
head oiling upgrade.
Wiseco doesn't list a piston set for the VFs, nor does anyone else I can find so far (more digging is indicated). Since asking on here is less time-consuming than digging through the interwebs looking for parts- any suggestions, leads or links?
