Default New CBR600 owner here!!

Hello all my name is Steven. I live in a small town just south of San Antonio here in Texas. My CBR is a 1989 CBR600 ironicly I got it for $600. She is my first bike and I've been slowly but surely working on here to make her all purtiful again. from the pics you will see it has some fairing but as of now they are all off, my high and low beam are rigged up to a switch on the side of the bike. I just recently ordered some fork seals and a new rear tire for her, but even with all the small issues she runs like a champ and I love it. hope ya'll like the pics, you will see that I repainted her in the pics as well. Ill get more recent pics posted, but I repainted the body black as well

Thank y'all, I'm glad to have found this forum. I'm looking to get all the fairings for this bike just having issues finding them, as well as some better mirrors.
