Crazytaxi's 1998 CBR 600 F3
This is not going to be any major project. More or less just trying to fix it up, to the standard I want, and share my experiences and questions with this awesome community
It's a 1998 F3 that I bought last spring, as the urge of having a bike became to strong.. This was one of the few that was for sale within 1 hours drive from me, that was in my pricerange. This meant that it wasn't mint of course, so that brought the price down a bit. (These bikes is actually priced higher than an 900RR from the same year it seems)
This is a picture from the Ad, before I got it:
The first thing I did was to change the mirrors, since they were cracked
Searched ebay for a set that I liked, and settled on those. Here I have also started changing the side signals:
with turn signals on:
The ebay ad stated that the LED-signals were for the F3, but it wasn't exactly so. At first I tried to just mount them, but they disappeared into the mounting hole.
Made up two adapterplates:
Painted them black:
finished:
The obligatory redbull mod:
Bought this lasercut Carbon-plate (on Ebay ofc :P)
Before:
After:
I've also re-upholstered my seat.
Before:
New vs. Old:
During upholstery:
Changed Bar-ends:
new vs old Sprockets:
new vs old Spark plugs:

Thanks
It starts with the small things.. hehe (my friends just call me the Ebay-*****.. )
But i'm not going all the way like you have done (mad respect to you there). I don't have the time to start on a massive project like that.. I've got to many that I need to finish first.. hehe
I'm really glad I changed mine, it was due..
I also bought myself a magnetic oil-plug, so it will be interesting to se if it has caught anything during the season..

Bought this one:
CBR600 seat cover for Honda CBR 600 F3 1997-98 | eBay
The flash rate is like the original ones, but I already had led resistances in the wiring, so I haven't tried without. But would like to think they would work without..
