I know what you are going to say but, I installed a 98 cbr1000f engine in my 88 cbr1000f it was a perfect match for the frame. yes I am sure it is a 98 the serial # confirmed it I was skeptical too. I had a discussion with a board member a few months ago that put a 1000 rr engine in a cbr1000f frame he said it was not a prob lem if you can weld.

No cutting or welding would be nice, i have the tools and am actually a welder by trade, but have no clue when it comes to engine fitment... was just trying to figure out an alternative because the motor in my 1kf(96) is pretty much shot i think... i found a crack in the lower end of the motor after i tore it down because i thought the head gasket was bad. Any ideas on where to get good motors at reasonable prices??? or an easy swap with little or no modification to the frame?
