What have you done to your CBR 1000f today?

Ha! Was just looking for a video for a sales pitch for the ROTM (what me take it seriously ) and I came across a video of the other CBR1000F we just bought for Mrs SB's son.

Hope it runs and looks as good in the flesh!

Hey SB, so you bought it from CBRSIXPACK, forum member. Did you get the solo seat fixture? He did a great job in fabricating them.

Did nothing to my CBR1000F but helped a friend rebuild this restored 1983 VF750 Interceptor....
Today put motor into frame and installed re-chromed and reconditioned forks. Completed rewire. To Do - Finish rebuild, sync carbs and polish...
These were very fast, high tech bikes for their day.
A days work - Back feels stiff as hell, body feels bruised, legs are sore ...... this work is very satisfying but the body isn't as flexible as it used to be. Time for a beer and a feed....
Hope you like the pics..

Quite right SB, if you look closely you'll also see that the R/R is aftermarket too. They had the same issue as our CBR1000Fs.

Back lunchtime yesterday with Knackies 'new' bike.
Mrs SB, Oscar the Wonder Dog and I made the trek to (a bloody cold and wet) Daylesford in Victoria - about a 1400km or so round trip to collect the bike.
Met forum member CBRSixpack who was selling the bike which is obviously loved and greatly cared for - it is in fantastic condition.
Monday - a public holiday here - we have the local constabulary coming around to verify its provenance, then registration next week.
I think I may just have to go on a little test ride before it is handed over
Cheers, SB
