'93 F2 Mods - Phase 2
I forgot to mention... that exhaust bracket is my doing... I've sold 6 or 7 of them since I got them the way I like 'em.

Thanks Benjy, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're doing as well.
On my front, I've got some news... firstly, I'll be installing my speed bleeders and NRC race cover for the pulse generator this weekend, and secondly, I should be picking up my new F2 tomorrow, so that I can finally have a dedicated street bike, and put this one in full-time race setup.
I'll be putting all my current street garb on the new F2, and selling off it's existing bodywork, as well as the seat, tail/stop light assembly, rear peg bracket/helmet lock assemblies, and some other stuff.
Unfortunately, it's blue with white rims, so I'll have to eventually get the rims powder coated.

PM me your address and postal code, and I'll get another part created (if I don't still have one ready to go), and get you an estimate.

I got a few small things done this weekend, unfortunately, one of those things was NOT picking up the new F2
Hopefully that will get worked out soon.
Firstly, I replaced the crush washers for the double-banjo bolt at the master cylinder, as I had a very, very, very, very tiny fluid leak there - now that has been resolved.
While I was at it, I installed the new Russell speed-bleeders, and fully bled the brakes again... it's nothing exciting to look at, but it does help simplify one-man bleeding operations, without having to break out the Mity-Vac pump.

And, I got the NRC heavy duty pulse generator cover installed.

Word... all I've EVER used, is NRC covers!
Hey bro, your bike is insane. So much attention to detail!! Very inspirational!
Hope you don't mind but I was messing around with one of your photos, thought you might like to see it, looks nice with bright colours!

I haven't mentioned it in any of my posts, but I'm not happy with the way the red turned out, though, for what it's worth, it does look a lot better when you see it in person.
Anyway, what I chose was a cherry red, and in the line of paints I was working with, I thought that was about my only good choice (this was purchased from an auto parts store with an "extensive" paint selection
Fast forward a couple of months, and I'm looking for more clear, from the same line, and found the color I really was looking for, which was called "banner red" - this red is a lot brighter than the cherry, but not too "90's" flourescent bright... it would have been perfect. I should have thought to check friggin' Wal-Mart sooner!
Anyway, it's race plastic, and I'll surely be doing another job on it eventually - at that point, I'll probably try a different design idea, and I will definitely be using the "banner red", if I still don't want to spend the money on professional auto finishes.
