Default Hey been waiting a long time to post! But now I'm here, from Louisville KY

What's up everyone. So this forum has been my main resource for all the work I've been putting into my bike that I got back in October. It's been my winter project and is my first bike ever.
It's a 1995 CBR 600F3 and I'm ridiculously obsessed with it. I just want to thank everyone here already for all the info that I've learned so far. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute through my own experiences with it.
Here's a before an after pic, even though its changed a bit since, I'll post another once I put her back together, shes laying naked in my garage right now.Name:  YMujWR3.jpg

Very tasty bike indeed. Also, I like the photo of the bike with the quintessential Kentucky horse farm in the background, complete with wooden fence. Nice touch.

Great pic, great intro.

Welcome to CBRF! Why's your bike in pieces right now? What are you doing to it?

The first photo has the original Darth Vader rear wheel but I can see the work that went into the front. Nice job so far...and you're still at it.

edit:The pillion grab strap looks nice, glad to see you reinstalled it. They look like something is missing to me when removed.
But then again, I'm an old timer and can't change my ways.lol

Thanks everyone, it took forever for me to get approved to post for some reason. Just to be clear the purple is before and the black is after.

I installed the front ss brake lines and I already had most of the plastic off, so right now its just naked. I wanted to try and figure out how to get these plastics installed that came with the kit but I still cant figure them out, even with the diagrams.

This is one, the others are the two that go into the front cowl and are semi-triangular shaped, thats the best way I can describe.
