Hey guys and dolls... Mostly dolls :)
Just here to introduce myself. Got my license in '08, rode up at school on a friends bike, came home, got a good commission check, and bought myself one of my own.
I picked up a '98 CBR f3 (completely stock with 10k on it) this past april and have been loving the great New England weather and riding again. One mark near the gastank (I was looking for a black leather tank bra to go around and cover that scratch shown, but they are tough to find) and a few tiny scratches on the side from thre previous owner is all i found wrong with the bike, clean steal for me.
Not planning to do much do it... Just finished a DDM tuning 6000K 55W High/low HID kit on it, want to get a new double bubble wind screen, flush mounts, and a fender eliminator kit, and I have frame sliders I am going to put on (I just need a new 2" hole saw and a free afternoon to do them).
I was also toying with the idea of getting the seat re-upholstered (because of the tiny tear) and getting some dark red rim tape... any thoughts?

SOrry guys and gals, ive been out riding enjoying the last few days of summer. Made some improvements to the bike... Tank bra cleaned it up a little bit, hacked up the fender and put in an integrated tail light and kept the stock directionals (i want to get clear lenses or get smaller directionals, dont know which route to take yet), did some scarlet rim tape (pain to install, but looks OKAY... wish i had a steadier hand/had taken the wheel off) and have yet to install my flush mounts. Ill post pics shortly.
