i use conventional rotalla t 15w40. just regular diesel oil. works wonderfully and only 10 bucks a gallon. its actually very common to be used in bikes, google it if you get time there is tons of good info on it out there

 

never new you could use diesel oil on the bikes i have full access to royal purple diesel oil is this good to use.. and by the way that bike is clean and looks great...

 

thank you i will do my best to keep it clean. I will post pics of her at 20k miles and you will see an even cleaner bike!

check Shell Rotella T Full Synthetic out. 5W-40. tons of information on this one oil.

 

BS BS i tried the lockhart phillips windscreen and they do not fit on the 1997 CBR f3! wtf they confirmed with me over the phone that it is exactly like stock. BS. ARGHHHHH now i have to return to indysuperbikes.com and pay the return shipping and a 25% restocking fee. BS

 

Guys I am still working on her but I have been thinking about frame sliders.

Where would be the best place to put frame sliders on the CBR F3? I got a radial drill and know how to use it so no worries there. But I am contemplating the best locations before I go hacking.

Can you guys give me some tips? On which bolt do most CBR F3 riders install the sliders?


Some spots I think would work I circled below: tell me what you think


and what do you think about having a total of 4 frame sliders, 2 on each side? I think I would like that.

 

They use the lower engine mounting bolts. The yellow circle to the right of the photo is where they mount.
I purchased the extended ones from an Ebay seller and love them. Way more protection than the 2'' sliders, these are 4'' or more..

 

f3biker please sir, please baby show me the picture of those frame sliders on your bike!

with da fairings on! I would be indebted to yoU!

 

Kinda hard to see, but the cutouts come very close to the vent style opening in the lower fairings. I used the laser pointer on a tripod method. Works good and there's a ton of tutorials out there to do it. Hope this helps.

P.S. (Don't go with 4 sliders ... it will just make things more complicated than they need to be)

 

dude thank you so much for that. exactly what i needed. you did one helluva job. cant wait to show ya mine now.


btw that bike looks bad ***
