Default hi everyone!

hi there everybody, im freak, aka mark, from lincolnshire, i primarily ride a triumph daytona 900, but the reason i am here is my steely framed cbr600f track bike!
i have done just about a full season of trackdays at cadwell on her now, and she's starting to need a few bits doing, mainly fork seals (lend your bike to your uncle and get it back with a blown fork seal . apparently he was using alot of rumble strips lol) anyway, forks came off today, and they will be going of to be proffesionally rebuilt and setup to our weight (bring in the fooking heavy springs!) then i shall be seeking a replacement rear shock. although it feels fine now, im sure with new forks it will feel crap, and it is the older style without the remote reservoir, so plan to update that!

one issue that i have had with the cbr, and my old man has with his too, is the rear brake. it is like a sodding onb off switch, their is no feel to it what so ever (on either bike!) is this a common thing or just coincedence?

also, i am interested in any "bolt on" performance mods if anyone can reccomend anything? i dont mind doing cams and stuff like that, but dont really want to strip the engine untill end of next season for propper "internal" tuning

cheers for now, im gonna go read some stuff on this forum and hope to cath up with some/all of you soon!

lol, its the steely framed cbr, an F-R i think it is, which would make it a 1992 model i believe?

so far all it has is an aftermarket can, and has had alot of the airbox's low speed air pipes removed, track fairings and that is about it!
