Default Finally Done!!!

I finally got my f2 done!! real exited, i bought it in boxes as it was an old track rig that had a slow speed end over end. I paid $400 for it and put about another $400 into it and i couldnt be more happy with the results. Let me know what you guys and galls think.

Looks nice!

Wha front brakes/rotors are those - don't look like factory calipers.

Original Nissin calipers, EBC oversize floating rotors with the caliper relocators. I've got the same set on mine.

Wow, I'm very impressed. How on earth did you get that much rebuilt with only $400? Care to list out how you spent your money?

Do you think the oversize rotors justify the price?

thanks everyone, iwas suprised myself how cheap i was able to bring this bike back to safe road worthy condition hears the rundown!
upper fairing stay bracket $100
left clipon+switches $25
front fender $40
gauge cluster $90
upper triple tree $25
seat $45
new grips $15
new plugs $25
ignition switch $25

everything exept the gauge clust was bought used on ebay, and the cluster came from a member of this site. When the accident went down it had a set of fiberglass race fairings on it, so all the factory bodywork was in almost perfect condition along with the blinkers, tailight and so on. i cleaned the carbs, checked compression, and put er back toghether. worst part of the whole deal was that the gas tank was highly rusted and was forced to use a liner, so we'll see how that holds up. a new tank will cost $$$.

as far as the brakes, its all in how u ride and prefer your bike. i personally like them, i have stainless lines as well so the brakes on this bike feal just *** good as my buddies 06 rr.
