87 f1 build stuff
Helllo.
This is my first motorcycle. It's an 87.
It has 2 brand new side fairings. But they will never be installed >
It wasn't as good of a deal as i've seen, but it wasn't to bad and had a clear title.
Its sat for a year and I got it 'running' for about 15 seconds(after cleaning the carbs and draining the tank). It backfires out of the far right carb. I'm gonna clean the carbs again. I know nothing about them though.
Not sure what I need to do to fix this...

Still undecided about the seat... I bought an 03 R1 seat that I might put on./cut the subframe. I'm out of argon, so.... I have no motivation
I tried to buy the led integrated light from custom dynamics. Didn't happen. I feel the need to say how much I dislike there website. It sucks!!!!! I couldn't get my paypal or debit card payment to go through because of mismatched zip codes. I tried everything. So annoying. But yeah ... Still have same rear brake light/ blinker.. Won't ever buy one from their 1990 styled site.
I found a tutorial to make one on a Kawasaki forum so I may give that a try.
It's fallen on me twice while pushing it backwards. I guess 130 pounds is no match for this 450lb beast.
The front right caliper locks up over time and I have to bleed the pressure every morning. Not sure what to do.

These things make some mean looking street fighters.
I didn't used to be a fan but when I started the body conversion on my 89 I thought pretty hard about making it a fighter.
Looks good though.
As far as the brakes, it could be a hose with an inner liner collapsing and acting like a check valve or a sloppy piston getting stuck sometimes. They can be rebuilt without too much hassle if you can find a kit.
You have any other pictures of it? And what did you do for a speedo?
