hey guys just got a 1987 CBR 600 and am in the process of fixing it up. Just had a couple of questions. Was wondering what fairings will fit my CBR and was wondering if anyone had any warning when it comes installing/fixing the rear breaks. I have everything i need was just looking for a little advice. Thanks.

P.S. here is my bike, i think its in pretty good condition for an 87, considering its as old as I am!! haha

 

Hello & welcome!
Bike looks like it needs a fair amount of work but there are plenty of guys here to help you out.
As far as fairings go, might be quite hard to find 'em so keep looking.
Good luck

 

Welcome! and looks like you got some work cut out there.

 

Welcome !
An 87 CBR600 - maybe an early Hurricane ? Is the date maybe wrong ?
e-bay's the best place for fairings. Some pop up on e-bay.uk as well.
www.Bikebandit.com and www.mrcycles.com have useful part numbers.
Do a search
Enjoy your stay
www.carlsalter.com may have a manual for you.

 

thanks guys... ill post updates on my work. Maybe someone will enjoy watching this fix up as much as i will have doing it!! haha

Its a hurricane. found some fairings but i don't think I'm gonna order them all but i know that i am going to get the tail fairings but i kinda like the engine out and im going to fabricate a set of Buell lightning head lights to replace the hoopty headlight that is currently on my bike. will keep you guys updated

That sounds tight man. Im glad to hear everything's going well. im actually fixing up a bike thats the same year and it looks just how yours did when you started. I was seriously thinking about putting on a new front fairing like you did. How bad was the fabrication? do you have any pics yet. im best reached at birdj3@unr.navada.edu
