Default hey i'm new, be gentle!

Hi everyone i'm Waylander, i currently ride a Hyosung cruise 2, i know hardly a sportsbike, but i get great mileage around town and 125cc's are great fun and its all ive got until my cbr is fixed. The reason ive joined this forum is becuase i am working on restoring my 1989 CBR600f hurricane. Was in a minor accident and the fairing got totalled. So i thought that it was a good time to work out a few things with it and restore it to its former glory. The engine is sound, ive sorted out most of the electrics and ive straightened the sub frames. But i am struggling to find fairing at an affordable price. So really i'm joining up to find out what you guys have done to your old cbrs. and before its said i wont streetfighter it. If anyone has any advice, whether i can put more modern fairing on or a website of a reasonable fairing manufacturer who still does 1989 cbr moulds i would really appreciate it. thanks

Welcome to the Forum !
The 600F's a great bike - sometimes fairings pop up on e-Bay.
A workshop manual from www.blackbears.ru may help.
Enjoy what we have to offer !

Welcome Waylander. Come check out the Cbr600f section. There are a few of us in there trying to restore our Fs to their former glory. Come join the fun.
