Hi AAxJosh, what rear swing and rim do you use? Did you fit it yourself or bought it like that?
Keep up the good work!

I'm actually not sure where the swing arm came from. I bought the bike like this so I honestly have no clue. I wish I did though because I can't figure out what caliper goes to that swing arm so I have no rear brakes.
The only thing I do know is that the rim is from a Honda. No clue what year or type, just know that the rim does say Honda on it.

That looks dead up like the mount I have. I will take some close up pics of it Thursday night when I get home.
Thanks a lot Box.
What year is that F4 in the picture??

I need to look and see how cheap I can get a caliper for.

Not sure of the year i knew it wasnt and f2/f3 so i googled f4 and f4i rear wheel and compared it to the wheel in the pic you posted. looked just like the f4 wheel, the f4i wheel is different. Good to know an f4 swing arm can be made to fit. doesnt look too low in the back either.

Default Swing arm pics

I am finally getting around to uploading these pictures. It looks very similar to the 99-00 cbr 600 f4 so i will probably go ahead and order a caliper for it. Let me know if you guys think otherwise.

That looks exactly like the pic of the f4 so you should be good. Gives me some inspiration to know it can be done Im not a fan of the tire selection in the stock sizes.

Yeah I went ahead and ordered a rear caliper off a 2000 F4 last night. The caliper mount looked exactly the same so I should be good.
There were plenty of swing arms on eBay for the F4, I think you should go for it. Now that I've seen so many stock bikes with the stock tire, I am very glad that someone went ahead and put a different swing arm on the bike. That 180 will be nice to have.

Default Update 04/16

Well the bike is up and going. Had some trouble getting it started after cleaning the carbs but I put new plugs in it and started right up. Runs great. Carbs are synced and I'm ordering a headlight bracket this week. Bike should be on the road this weekend. Also fixed the rear brake. It was a 99/00 CBR 600 F4 swing arm. The caliper off the 00 I ordered bolted up perfectly and works fine.
Heres some pictures of the brake, frame sliders, and mirror.





Now I need some help. I have these wires and plugs that I dont really know where they go. I assume that two of them are for the turn signals but I'm not really sure where any of the others go. Any help is appreciated.

the first and last are the turn signal connections. Not sure about the other 2. I notice you also have newer forks on it too.
