Interesting, skid. I've never seen that combination of parts on a 'Cane before (hell, never heard of it, either...lol).
Your friend is right about it being a Hurricane. It was the CBR1000F "Hurricane" back in the day. I think they dropped the name and just went with CBR1000F in 1990, maybe? We call them all 'Canes sometimes, though.

Anyway, welcome to the nuthouse! Good to see ya!

That thing is definitely crazy looking, skid....
If you painted that red fender yellow, it would really tie it all together better...

So what all is done to the motor?

Hello Skid and welcome, sounds like a bit of an epic you have there mate but should be a goodun when its done
As you have probably already worked out, they now allow internet into old peoples homes and asylums, they mean well, but just not firing on all cylinders
