I have ridden bikes my whole life and wanted a motorcycle since before i can even remember. Well after being without license for 2 years and a blown motor in my vehicle, and no money, I put my 4Runner up for trade on craigslist. All i wanted was a running, street legal motorcycle....
2 weeks later i got a call and this was put on the table...
1982 VF750S Sabre. V45 750cc. Shaft driven.
How I got it.
The next day.
Started removing things;side panels, storage box ( made mounting bracket for fuses and rectifier), mirrors, rear turn signals, etc. Went on my first 400+ mile trip.
I got a rear fender and tail light from imtheslime and wintertime is coming so i plan to chop the backend and see what happens. But today i just got some new bars in and i stripped my tank of that plain old black paint.
Never seen one of these Sabres custom other than going the sport bike route with nothing but bolt ons, chrome, and saddle bags. So ima chop what i got and make it my own Frankenstein of a mess. I'll try and keep track of progress here as i go along.
