Default My First CBR

So I finally went out and picked me up a CBR 600 F3! I am very happy with it! needs lots and lots of work...... but i figured I might drop it soo start out ****ty and work my way up to Amazing!

Few things its a 1997, Use to be smokin joe now its all sorts of...... Crazy...... here i'll just show it to ya (don't laugh!!! i said it needed a lot of work! and I am proud of it!)





Sorry about the side ways picture....... lol anyways what do yall think?

Does the Yoshi RS-3 pipe come stock on the F3? few things i need are a headlight turnsignals and a set of fairings... a gauge cover..... there are only 2 mounts left on the one i have...... soo it shakes when i ride it!

few side notes...... did not realize it had soo much more power then me ninja 500..... OH! lord is this thing fast!!! (for me at least)

OH! i just got out of riders edge got the top score on the test out of my class only 5 points! WOOT!

Sorry I am all over the place with this topic! but I am just soo pumped...... I picked it up about 2 days ago at 3 in the morning! Runs really well sounds great...... just looks like trash.... (for now at least)

what do yall think? what should i do to it? give me some input and some advice on riding!

Thanks your friend

The fairing you have at the front is a race fairing.
Stick on an CBR600 05/06 tail and its gonna be lovely.
You can use race tail unit from the above CBR and justmake a little bracket with light at the back.
Here is my race bike with CBR600RR tail:

Nope. Good find.

Upgrading from a gas-powered Schwinn will do that to ya.

Given that your entire upper front end is ravaged, I'd look into aftermarket headlight and signals, and just streetfighter the thing. F3's make bad-*** streetfighters. Throw some Seafoam in there to clean the carbs out. Seeing as how the thing's clearly been messed with, do a FULL inspection o everything: charging system, tires, brakes, FLUIDS (I'd just go ahead and change all of them), cables, BOLTS,. . . set the suspension up for your weight, etc
