Looks good and clean. It's a shame about the dents in the left side of the tank, but not that noticable. What's the story on it ?

 

Well I just purchaced this bike a couple weeks ago for $1500. It was layed down on the left side. So the fairing was all scratched up. However they guy gave me new fairings along with it. I am getting them painted Flat Black w/a gunmetal metallic, and pry going to have a gray or gloss black graphics scheme. I send everything out for paint tomm so Im pretty happy.
So Far This Is What I have Got Done With The Bike:
I Tore The Whole Bike Down Checked Every Bearing And Cleaned Every Part Up Till The Front End Which I Still Have Yet To Do. I Polished Some Parts And Leaved Some The Brushed Alluminum Look So When I get The Bodywork Back There Will Be Some Nice Contrast. I Chopped The Exhaust About 4inches And Painted The Embklem A 2-Tone Flat/Semi Gloss Black. It Came With A K&N Air Filter And I Am Assuming It Was Jetted Cause It Runs Spot On No Hesitation Or Sputtering. I Changed The Oil And Put New Spark Pugs In It. We Had 50 degree Weather the last two days and I took It out and started right up no problem.
Anyhow I spent almost 40hrs so far just cleaning it but Im happy with my purchase. Im open to any suggestions or recomidations on anything I can Modify...Anyhow tell me how you think it is coming along!!!

It was dropped by previous owner but no worries that will be fixed before I get it all painted...Bike is pretty much flawless otherwise, and after it's done it will be mint..as long as I don't wreck lol

 

Looks great man. I have a 1996 F3 that had the exact paint design. But the previous owner rattle canned it black so I've been sanding all of that off. I also had to rebuild a good bit of the bike.

But working on these things is pretty fun though sometimes I want to chunk the bike into a wall.

 

Progress looks real nice!
