Hey all. New guy on here from Valdosta, Ga. Been lurking for quite some time now and finally decided to sign up so I can ask a few Q's and hopefully help some people out with who knows what. Anyway, I'm currently re-building a 97 F3. I just got done with the F4 guage swap, F4 rear shock, and am welding on a new subframe to accept an 01 R1 tail and seat. Shocks are totally redone and about 15-18 (roughly) pounds shaved off. Down 1 frnt tooth and a sneaky pete 15-20 2 stage home brewed nitrous setup. Cut out half the wiring harness (un-needed stuff like kickstand switch, etc to clean it up a bit).
I'll upload a pic or 2 when I get home.

 

Welcome! Sounds like a cool project, looking forward to the pics.

 

Wow, that's gonna be one sick F3! Can't wait to see some pics, be sure to throw them in the F3 section so everyone sees them

Thanks. I'll def. post up some pics. Here's my 'mod' list so far...

Full 4-2-1 exhaust, modified (cut and revamped innards) Yoshi pipe, modified stacks, lightened swingarm, 520, f4 rear shock, modified front suspension, sneaky peat, F4 guages, a LOT of electrical work (deleted and revamped), shorty GSXR aftermarket mirrors, -1 fnt sprocket, no undertail/hugger, 1/5 turn throttle, GM'd heads and mild headwork, ram air box modified.
I want to add LED's for turn signals, and I would like to run a different light in the front. One that dosn't weigh in a 400 pounds like the stock one does, and shed about 4 more pounds from the front. Going away with the steel stay and going aluminum instead. In work: R1 tail and seat.

 

I posted some pics in my Album. Just search for Mooseknuckle. More pics to come when the R1 tail gets welded on.
