I've had two VFRs - a 1994 750 and a 2000 800. The 1986 model is the first year of VFRs - the 750FG. Check the underseat "Color Label" for this and the paint code.

My top tip is to get hold of a Honda shop manual as well as a Haynes, the latter particularly for the coloured wiring diagrams. 2nd is to get to know David Silver Spares for bits.
