Cheers for the info. Almost bought the complete set for 05 600RR. Just gonna get the tail section now.
What tyres are you using for racing?
I used Mitchelin Pilot Power 2CT for track days but found their limit fast enough.
What would you recomend?
We dont get much sun shine here in Ireland so would have to be soft enough compound and quick warm up.
Cheers.

I'm in the isle of man mate so think we are under the same weather systems. I use pirelli dragon supercorsas just cos I have always used pirellis n it's what I'm used to, my mate uses Michelin pilot power race tyres n they seem good too, to be honest all the modern day supersport tyres r good, the limit of them is far beyond a F3 cbr.
I had problems with the front end tucking all season n thought it was a tyre issue or me just trying too hard but j have found suspension set up is so so so important, can't stress it enough!!

And if u r a track day rider tyre warmers are a must have, not so much for the heat but supersport tyres only have so many heat cycles so if u can warm them up once n keep them warm it helps their life so much n stops them tearing up so badly, if ur not doing track days u shud be looking at a pirelli corsa 3 tyre, lots of grip on the street n can cope with lots of heat cycles.

Ya, i actualy like Michelins so might try Power Race. Would you be using soft at the front and med/soft rear?
Would you also know any good places in UK for race fairings for an F3. Have been looking for a while and the only once caould find cost an arm and a leg.
Cheers.

Those pictures are GREAT! It's fun to see the F3 on a track.
Looks like you know what you're doing out there :thumbsup:
Have you done something with your suspension to get it race ready?
My -97 feels a little mushy when I push it around the bends (on the road, ooops).
It could be that I'm a little too big at the moment (215lbs! Damn, I better get on the Atkins diet), and it puts a little extra strain on the whole bike.
Sorry, can't find the smileys to insert into post.
