Looks good. I can tell there is a lot of wrench time on that bike.

 

Looks awesome! Looks like you have some nice tools in your garage. On your workbench (the black case with the red drawers) is that a Craftsman set? If it is, I have the same one. How hard was it to do the 900 swap? Is there a how-to post on here somewhere, and if there is can you link to it?

 

thanks. yeah thats the craftsman socket set and two of my toolboxes, i have 2 more on the other wall too and 1 in the basement.(can never have enough) and thats my 67 ford truck that i am doing for pro street... there is not a how to on it but its not that hard. RSP919 and me did it. theres some links on here that we posted but there is one on another site but he notched his frame...big no-no...

if you are mechanically inclined at all its not that hard. i did it myself in my living room in a little over a month. just alot of putting it in and taking it out.. the main thing about it was i welded a mount on the right side and you have to cut the rear mount on the left and the rear top mount but that is all the cutting that is required and you cant run a fan on the radiator but i havent had a prob with over heating yet. and you have to make new side mounts and get a new rad. hose.

https://cbrforum.com/m_175503/tm.htmheres some pics of the swap freshly done..

this is a write up that rsp919 did on the swap and that is all that i had to go by when i started mine...."here it is in a nutshell. mods to the frame: bottom motor mount must be cut off and rewelded to the other side, and the inner frame walls peened or notched( to make room for the carbs, does not take much). after that i made two new side motormount plates, not that hard. i use the stock wiring harness with the 900 blackbox. next u have to mod the airbox to fit the 900 carbs(again, not that hard, just drilling a couple of new holse to line the mounting screws up). you will also need to extend the radiator top hose(very easy, a trip to autozone). that is about it, a little welding, beating, and a shoe horn and u got it. it is a blast when u pass an r1 on a little, outdated f2. my frame is at the powdercoater's this week. i will post some detailed pics in about a week"

also i paid 500 for the 900 engine and then sold my f2 engine for 650.00... then about 180 to the shop to tune it so it doesnt hurt the pocket that much either.. no change to any wiring or coils and the same CDI box too... let me know if you do it and i will offer all the help that i can....also nipz has the swap done too.

 

a lil update.... i found someone to extend the swingarm for 200.00 and its guaranteed for life...(mine or the swingarms???wonder?) but the only other place that i found that was cheap was 450 to do it,and i am going 10" so i will have pics up next week of that and the rims are being polished right now too.

 

I want to do it, but I have some hesitations. First, my paint is original and is pretty scratched up. If I did a motor swap I would want new paint, and I'm not sure I want to sink too much money into this bike instead of just buying a new one. Second, I don't know how to weld. Third, I'm not sure if I could do it without someone standing right beside me telling me exactly what to do.
I'm mechanically inclined, but I've never done anything that big before.
I bet it would be satisfying to smoke some fool on a $10k bike with my little $2k F2 though.
