Seriously though, nice work, and it looks as if you're going to finish up just in time for the best riding weather, that is, unless you've got a lot more planned besides the engine refresh.
I do have more planned but its stuff i can do like clock conversion and handlebar change etc whilst its back together..... Do you know if the cluster from a sp1 rc51 convert to f2? Do like those clocks.

That's definitely not a common swap on an F2, but if you want 'em bad enough, there's always a way... the most complicated part would be your speedo signal, I'm sure.

Well, even with the F4i conversion you have to find a signal for the speedo... I think the answer there is using an interchangeable front sprocket cover from a CBR model that takes its signal from that sprocket, and using a speedo healer to get the signal "right".

I will mention, also, just to throw it out there, that I have seen devices that can take the rotating speedo signal from the mechanical drive, and convert it to an electrical signal, so there's that option as well - then you could retain a consistent signal from the front wheel, regardless of any gearing changes in the rear.

Do you know where i may find these devices? Or what they r called? Any info on finding these bits would be cool....

I'll do my best to recall, but don't hold your breath! It's been a long while since I came across those little doo-dads... maybe someone else can chime in.

you would be far better off with a koso or an acewell or an equivelent model which run a magnet and a sensor off the rear wheel it also means you can use the rear brake caliper hanger as a bracket for the sensor

Hi guy's, got a problem. So everything is back together went fire it up and all its doing is back firing, cylinders 124 dont have fuel on plugs but cylinder 3 does. Have checked that carbs have fuel in bowls and they all do. Any ideas?

So after scratching my head i looked at the wiring diagram in the book. The way i wired it was right with the book but not the right firing order for my bike...... Strange! Im glad i had taken photos of the strip as i looked back on them and seen that the wiring is different to the book. So put it the right way and she started with no problem. So now its put her back together and get her run in.... 8 months of hardwork and alot of snapped bolts later, it seems to of paid off.
