Default Custom F1's?

Where are all the custom F1's at? I have yet to find one! I love the old school bikes, and wish there were more of them around. I'm thinking of this setup, flat black frame, and flat black extended swingarm, jupiter orange metallic paint,(factory honda color) tan leather seat, frame sliders, flush mount signals, custom undertail, muzzy drag style exhuast, updated guages, and custom painted flat black wheels with a polished lip. whatcha think? what are your suggestions for your bike?

awesome. What kind of mods do you have? I'm a new rider on the street, been on the dirt since i was 8. I just bought my cbr, and the only performance i want as of now is a slip-on. The cosmetics on this thing are lacking in a big way. I'll try to post pics soon, Hope everyone else can too. Later.

good luck finding stuff to customize the f1. you are going to have to get creative. if you are looking for something let me know, i have searched high and low for parts for this bike. ebay has alot of good stuff for the hurricane.

wow, thats nice, i would love to have a tail like that. looks like he 'made' it fit. be sure and fill us in when you hear back.

you know, he probably swapped the sub-frame. the seats are having to mount differently as well as the passenger foot pegs, and the exhaust mount. must of been alot of work.

The blue and silver bike came from cbrworld along with diechrome's bike. I will post pics later today of my custom f1. I am using all stock parts, and it doesnt look too bad for 1987. I have it in primer at the moment but I will still post pics before paint. I am bebating using the stock tail or not. the f4i tail seems to be the best bet. Those tails will fit on the stock subframes with little work done to the stock seat.

Here are my stock pics. I will be fitting the f4i plastic within the next week or so, and i will post progress pics before painting and such. Also is there any way i can use a different speedo and tach? I'm machining a custom aluminum plate for smaller guages because the stocker won't fit. (and because they're ugly and busted) Any ideas? thanks.
