Who needs a motor when you've got your own two legs?

 

Great job! I love it.

We have had discussions on bike benches but no one has ever mentioned using a sky hook.

 

 

Wish I'd have seen this post before I did my motor swop. Good work, mind if I use your technique next time

 

This was not as easy as I expected. The gears and chains are somewhat daunting.

 

There always comes a point when you wonder why you ever started.

 

Gotta put gears in mine at some point so I'll be feeling the same way sooner or later, definitely not looking forward to it.

While I remember, do you happen to know if the gears from an '88 will work in a '96? Can't find anything on it but on all the specs I've looked up the top speed has been rated the exact same so I would think that they have the same gearing.

I could be way off, but I'll never know till I ask or try and asking is a little cheaper

 

That'll have to be answered by somebody smarter than I, this is the first time I've eve been in a bike motor. Or a transmission of any type.

In case anybody cares: 1988 CBR1000F Rebuild - Pic dump! pictures!

 

So, just for giggles I popped by the local Honda bike dealer. Hoping they may have a line on NOS fairings or something.

Nope! It's either repair what I've got or try and find used ones that are in better shape than what I've got. This could get interesting.
