Thanks guys! Got in kinda late tonight, got time to post a pic I took a few hours ago at a watering hole downtown st. Louis. I live about 40 min west of downtown st. Louis. Tonight there was a vintage bike night and I was amazed how many people wanted to get a look at a 26 year old hurricane. It is super clean and was bone stock. Any changes you see I did myself and shelved the stock parts so the next owner one day can have a perfect example of a stock f1. I've picked up some parts from the net so I wouldn't have to mod the ones on the bike (exhaust, rear mud flap, license plate holder windshield,grips, and a few other things. The stock clear windshield still had the factory sticker on it,and also the stickers on top the tank. I picked those all up from honda parts online so i can replace them should i ever decide to one day, but wow! There's not anywhere as many parts available as there was 10 years ago. Which I guess is to be expected.
I waited a month for my Corbin saddle and rear rack, but the wait was definitely worth it!

thanks guys!
timbuc2, You can still order the corbin saddle new from corbins website. waiting time is 3-4 weeks, and they took everybit of 4 weeks. I hoped it would be the same style as the corbin saddle I had on my other 90 f1, but its changed quite abit. I have some pics of my older F1 and its saddle I'll post when I get a chance.
I got the corbin gunfighter and lady with the backrest. When you order they ask a ton of questions (weight, height, etc...) and build it to your specs.
I really like it but the backrest looks absolutely hideous, imo, so I figure since I only bought it for a "just incase" situations, I will take my time and dismantle the back rest part of it and reshape and recover it. Basically cut it down to half the current size and square it off vs the "round" shape it is now.
I've swapped out a factory shaped tinted windshield and also installed a throttle meister cruise

here is some pics I snapped right after installing the rear rack the other day.

Here's my project 93 1000f. Not sure if I want to go on the infamous manhunt for all the plastics or try to do a street fighter setup.

I posted in the newbie section and finally staggered my way here. I'll do some more reading before asking too many questions. Nice to know there's a whole Cane community.

Welcome mate. It's a quiet forum but there is already a lot of info on here so any issues you have you'll probably find the answers on here.

Welcome to the forum copelander, don`t be afraid to ask any questions, we like talking about Hurricanes and how to fix/make better.

Well, I'm hoping to track down the right decals for it, once I repaint it. This is the place I found online which looks to have about everything. Graphics and Stickers Decals for Honda Hurricane

I forgot to measure them before removal. Was hoping someone could tell me what size I needed for the 1000 stickers, the Hurricane along the tank and whether I can find the pinstriping and HONDA below the Hurricane sticker on the tank, or whether those are painted lines with a HONDA decal in the middle.

Welcome copelander. The last time I needed stickers was for my old 88 which I no longer have. I was able to get it from my Honda dealership in 2007. I currently have a 96 1000F and a 99 CBR1100XX. Haven't needed stickers for either of them yet. Fingers crossed that I never do.
