Default Hi from the South of England

Hi, I'm new, from UK and am in the process of modding my F2, so thought i'd say hi.

When i got it, it had been tuned already and had the following fitted:
tuned cams
Keihin Flatslide Carbs
Ninja single seat on existing subframe
Battery (from R6) mounted in rear seat hump
Vapor Digi display
race fairing

I had to basically rewire the bike and decided to streetfighter it.

Future jobs also include:
Replacing the clip ons with bars - already has extended lines
engine bolt dress up kit
Rad/oil cooler cover (anyone know of nice ones?)
Paint (currently white)
Custom fiberglass tank (dent in mine)
Single sided swing arm
maybe even mount some low level spots - Anyone ever done this? have to drive down some very dark roads near where i live)

I'll add some pics once i've taken then over the weekend

Welcome to the forums, Mike!
Sounds like you have a lot done to your ride.....and plenty more to come!

The F2s are real solid bikes, and there are plenty of riders here to help you out if you need it. Hit up the F2 section and say hi. Good folks.

Also, if you get a chance.... check out the ROTM thread and maybe vote for that classic CBR1000 that cbrsixpack has up.
Some people think our old bikes are crappy and washed up, but some of us feel differently.....

I've not been down to see the bike this last week, but found a pic that i took with my cousins bandit lights on it (to see what it would look like as a fighter) while i was waiting for mine to get here.
