About the Honda VF500
Choose Magna or Interceptor first, then compare the fuel, brake, fork and clutch parts for your repair.
Use this family page to compare VF500C Magna parts and VF500F Interceptor parts. The Magna float valve and front master-cylinder kit below cover 1984–1985; the corresponding Interceptor products cover 1984–1986. Choose the complete C or F model before comparing those components.
VF500C and VF500F parts differences
The Magna rear brake shoes and Interceptor brake pads service different brake assemblies. Some fork seals and clutch hydraulic repair kits list both models, with their own year ranges. For engine work, the gasket set discussed below covers the 1984–1985 C/F applications and is not listed for a 1986 VF500F.
