Default Advice needed

Well since I finally have my first bike I have some mod's in mind. They are carbon fiber seat cover, carbon fiber mirrors, carbon fiber levers, carbon fiber bar ends and a new exhaust with down pipe. Problem is I have no clue where to even start looking online. As for the exhaust goes, I wouldn't mind buying a used set because I don't have alot of extra cash right now. Any help would be appreciated. Bike is a 93' F2.

If your going to spend a bunch of money on carbon fiber stuff for an old bike, you could have taken that money and the money you spent on the bike and bought a newer, faster, and better bike. JMO. Save your money. I have a 08 cbr 1000 and a 94 F2, I know its hard not to buy all the cool **** you see on ebay and stuff but if you not careful you spend more money on parts than the ole F2 is worth, money you'll never get back out of it.

I understand your concern. I get all parts a dealership cost. My best friends dad runs the parts department at our local Honda dealership. I am going to fix this bike up how I want it because I don't plan on buying a newer one. I bought an older one because I am a big fan of old school bikes.

@ frank, pretty sure most of the pars/pieces mentioned are carbon-look , not real CF.
