Default Hey y'all

New to forum, I'm currently rebuilding a 2000 cbr f4. I have been around bikes for a while now but this is the first time I've taken on a complete tear down and rebuild completely on my own. I'm sure I will have some questions soon cause I'm very close to putting it all back together. Can't wait to ride soon! Will put some pics up when Im able to.

Welcome to CBRF! Its good that you're taking a build on all by yourself. Just take your time, don't rush it. If you do rush, you'll likely forget something small - and that's what will drive you nuts when it won't fire up. Feel free to ask all the questions you want. And like Rydna said, post some pics!

Default Where I'm at now

Just received my frame, subframe, and swingarm back from powder coating. All of my plastics are prepped and ready for paint. Working on my paint booth area so I can get them painted. Ordering the new parts it needs in the next few weeks hopefully. I will definitely be taking my time but I am a girl and took pics of every single thing I took apart and bagged and labeled every nut and bolt off of this thing lol. I am no mechanic but have learned and still learning a ton about this bike! When I finally get to put it all back together i'm sure this site will help out a ton! Thanks for the support!Name:  BikePics_zps338869bc.jpg
