Default new F2 owner in OH

after lurking, debating, giving up,and finding another bike, I now finally own a 1993F2.

it's a track-only bike with the following mods:

- 2 brothers 'racing' pipe
- SSfront brake lines
- CFM rearsets
- woodcraft clip-ons
- 520 sprocketsand chain
- Penske double-clicker rear shock
-1.0 fork springs
- big 'ole autometer14,000 RPM tach (currently not mounted. the stupid needle fell off!)
- a good bit of safety wiring. more than enough for track days. probably only an hour of drilling away from WERA spec.
- cheetah bodywork (which is crappy, but cheap, and effective)

and I think that's about it. No idea of the mileage because the stock guages are long gone, but it had 13,000 in 2000 when it became a track bike.knowing a bit of the bike's history, i'm generously estimatingthe mileage at around 19,000 (figure no more than 350 miles perweekend at the track). Even if it's more than that, the oil was changed every 4 trackdays, ormore regularly.

The bike came to me in rattle-can black with white number plates (not like the PO had an 'expert' license though). #55

I'm trying to finish up the clear-coat (still rattle-can) on my Cleveland Browns paint job before the weekend. Bikewill be#80. (we'll see who gets the joke)

pics posted when the paint is done and the plastics are back on. i've gotta get an oil filter today too :P

#80 ... Browns ... Kellen Winslow? I don't get the joke ... but then again I'm slow. Congrats on the bike ... paint job is not so bad considering it came from a can ... and is Browns ... you gotta be a real fan to do that.

And most important ... Welcome to da board!!
