Look good so far! I love changing all those little things that make it "your" bike. I bought mine with a few mods and have just changed some small things of my own, but it feels more like yours after you do the stuff you want. Keep up the work and enjoy!

Thanks!

Couple of things I am looking to do in the not too distant future is have new front break discs and new chain, at a loss of what to do cosmetically at the moment tho!

Hey you just gotta look around and explore right! What I would look into doing is maybe get some fresh rubber, change out all your fluids and start cleaning up the bike. Really get it running tip top. Shes looking great too though, good to have another F4 rider out there!! If theres anything you need help with there are a ton of guys here that know an astonishing amount and are willing to share so feel free to ask; they will respond.

Glad to see a fellow rider from the rock! I'm currently going through a massive overhaul of my cbr and i must admit finding help on this rock is hard work! so if there is anything you need please don't hesitate to give me a shout, im in douglas so available if you need anything.
Check out my album, it's a WIP.... https://cbrforum.com/forum/members/r...-project-3738/

P.S where did you get your Flo Yellow rim tape from? much nicer n brighter than mine!

Very nice project! and thanks for the offer!

The Rim Tape is from here, have used this company previously and are my 'go to' people for rim tape:

6mm Wheel Rim Tape Stickers Honda CBR600F CBR 600 F CBR600 VFR800 VFR 800 | eBay

make sure you choose either the 6mm (mine) or 3mm (other bikes) as they have two listings on ebay with the same image!
