I finished building this bike the first week of July, 2014. It has basically remained in the same state as it was when done. I just recently changed gearing from 17/40 to 18/39 so it'll run at lower rpm at highway speeds.
I've put several thousands of miles on it during the eight years. All I've done to it is change the oil & filter, put new tires on it, clean the pods, and ride it. It still runs great! I've received several compliments on it over time..
It's been a good ride. |

Tastefully done, easy to see why you would get positive attention when you are out on the bike. |

I'm running CBR F2 front forks. The front brakes are the EBC 310mm Big Brake Kit for the CBR F2. It consisted of 310mm floating rotors plus caliper brackets to set the calipers out. I easily found the rotors. But, I searched for about a year for the brackets with no results.
Ricardo graciously sold me the brackets which he had in his parts stash.
Late one night in 2012, I was searching ebay for 1100F parts and came across the swingarm. It was $299.99 opening bid or $399.99 BIN. The ad was about one hour old and no bids. After thinking about it, I hit BIN and paid the $399.99 + shipping. I think it was a great buy!
Thanks everyone! |
