Default Need some opinions on the Smokin Joe

ok well i picked it up about 3months ago already put like 800 miles on it lol..ok so i wana make some changes. i've already added a smoked db windscreen, took off the "smokin joe" sticker and cleaned it real good since i took these pics. i think it looks so much cleaner and just a good look without the sticker. my ? is should i take off the flame???? im not crazy about a lott of stickers but i want it look original still..future plans to get the MotoGP shorty exhaust also. what else do i need?? thanks!

OH!! ive also seen a smokin joe with a yellow rear rim instead of purple..looks sharp..and thad no stickers at all thats wat gave me the idea but im keepin some on definately

Default 1998 honda smokin joe's cbr 600f3 se

From the many hours I have spent trying to research this bike, Honda doesn't seem to give too much information on it. I have read where some people say the plastics are the only difference from the f3. At the local dealership here in Sarasota, Florida they told me that if it is in original condition as produced from the factory that it is rare. Removing some of the decals may reduce value in the bike. From all the different one I have seen on the internet, many seem to have different decal placements. Mine has on both bottom side racing decals from khein, penske racing shocks, pro honda oil, ngk spark plugs. I think it makes the bike look tougher. These all came from the factory when produced. I have #970.

Ah, gee! It came that way with the stickers, and and they only made 1,500 world wide in 1998 and only 500 in 1996! Shame to bring the values down by removing original decals and such. Your call, but I wouldn`t!
