That is a standard f3, not a Smokin' Joes by far, sorry. But on a good note you do have the same carbs as the Smokin' Joes because they all had the same carbs unless they were cali bikes.

maybe its just me, but i have no idea how to tell the difference other than cosmetically (ie. rims, color scheme).

what are the difference between a smokin joe's and a standard f3? the previous owner of my f3 claims it was a smokin joes but i have no idea how to tell for sure.

not that it'll help but heres a pic of mine.

besides the vin and color scheme all f3's were identical. I've yet to understand why every retard with a yellow and purple bike calls it a smokin joe. A SJ is nothing more than color scheme( a very nice one at that) but nothing engine wise is different

I these color schemes listed as Smoking Joes on craigslist all the time. I think it is sellers trying to push for a little extra cash.
