Hello guys! I am the new owner of a 1988 cbr1000. I have a question though. I am missing a small piece of fairing on the left side under the seat and would like to know what years are compatible with mine. I would think that its at least 87-90 right? Also I had a question about the HP these bikes have...one site says 130 another says 100.Which is correct?

 

1987-Early 1989. They are kind of hard to find fairings for though. Took me about a year to get all the pieces I needed for my 1988.

 

Damn! I found the piece I needed, but its off of a 1990 Cbr1000 for like..50$ including shipping

 

About the HP.
132 was the stock unrestricted horsepower (on crank) for all years of CBR1000F.
In some countries it (and all other bikes) were restricted to different levels. For Sweden that was 100hp and some other (Germany/USA...?) had it to 125hp.
The restriction were only a more narrow ring inside the intake rubber. Easy to remove.

 

Thanks! So it probably puts out what...about 110 at the wheel? Also, so for clarification...only fairings from 1987 through late 89?

 

Hey Honda_Hurricane; where exactly is this restriction you are referring to? Is there any rejetted required? I'd like to remove it. Thanks.

 

Can someone tell me what that small plastick cover on the front side of the fairing is called?

That is the one that hide the bar!!

 

If your cbr dose not give youa thrill when you pull it to to the stops it is down on power

 

Mine will power stand 140k

 

Bhhacker, are you refering to tthe part with the hole in it (fuel-tap)?
I have 2 of those, one red and one silver.
But maybe the cost for shipping it from europe to texas is a bit too much
The model '90 has a different shape, as the fuel-tap is inside the seat.
