I'm new to CBR's but I brought this home yesterday:

After some research, it appears there's some debate as to the existence of F2 Smokin Joe edition?

I'm curious, since everything about this bike seems that it is factory plastics, and appears to be original paint. I can find examples of F3's but nothing firm on the F2. Bike was laid down somewhere along the line, and right fairing is going to need some work/patching. The upper fairing is cracked and is missing a spot, but overall I might be able to patch it all. I'm interested in finding replacement decal kits, and factory paint codes if anyone knows where to look?

Thanks!

 

Paint codes label should be located on the frame under the right side cover (near the R/R)

 

i like it

 

paint code on the bike is pretty useless as it is only for the graffic scheme and will provide no actual paint formula. pretty sure they never made a sj f2 probably custom painted with f3 stickers.

 

I justpulled the rear end and seat off to start some inital inspection - the codes were NH-1 and NH-1l which equate to black paint and black vinyl seat.

The paint on the bike is very good, no orange peel, just the normal look for paint that has beenon the bike for a while.

I'm believing it is a custom painted replica myself, but oh well. I'm not building a trailer queen, and someone put in the time and effort to make it a good looking replica, so I'll put it back as close to the current paint as I can. I'm going to pull the faded Joes stickers from both sides and replace with the F3 style decals. It may not be 100% accurate, but I don't think it would be bad either.

 

Lots of people update the plastics on their F2 with those from an F3... the smokin Joe theme looks good. +1 for keeping it. Try ebay you may get lucky and find a deal on an SJ F3 fairing you need.

 

Those are definitely f2 fairings, you can tell the difference from the part that you can see through on the side fairing. Here's the f3s side


Must just be decals.
