After a year or so after moving and then sitting on my patio, I finally made room in my garage for my poor old 900F. Now I can work on it and get it running decent again.
I'm posting photos because I have never put any of my bike up previously.

Poor old F???!!!!!
Looks pretty damn good to me.
Where are all of you getting the different type of throttle body? I don't like how mine comes out under the bar, not out the side/top like yours. |

The throttle block pictured is part of the Sport Control Kit. Note that the footpegs are a litle further back and higher than a "standard" F.
The purpose of the "top-exiting" throttle cables is to avoid hitting and damaging the fuel tank when using a lower handlebar. |

I'm more afraid of the Cougar reaching over and scratching the Honda....... |

Hi your bike is very nice,i had a red/white cb900fc a few years ago with the same fairing,the fairing is a big help to keep the wind and the rain off.
here is a picture of a 900 i built in the spare room 10 years ago,the wife was away when i took this,but i did email the photo to her with it in the lounge!

That's some real nice pics of your 900.
I see your original owner as well. Was it the silver/blue paint scheme?
I bought mine new in 81, but never did get the sport kit as I wanted. At the time, I remember the kit was something like 300.00 or more. A lot of money in '81.
We should do a ride sometime since your relatively close.

You are one of the bravest men I know Keith. I would only try this if I was tired of life. |
