Nice Bike CajunCBR, Have a good time ripping up the streets. The paint Scheme looks descent but what do you plan on doing to it?

 

New avatar test.. figured this would be an appropriate thread. =]

 

i wish there were more F3s around where i live

 

What's up with the swingarm? Certainly that isn't stock, right - is it just a weird angle or am I seeing that correctly?

If it is, what's the advantage of a longer swingarm? I'm guessing you could put a sprocket kit on it and fly down the 1/4 mile? Is that what it's for, or is there another reason? Does it change daily riding too much?

On a side note, I actually like that paint better than mine. I just don't like the decals on the upper front fairing. All in all, nice bike. What'd ya give for it?

 

Very nice! Welcome to the forum. That used to be my paint scheme till I painted it. I have the matching seat if interested.

 

Well I like the colors because it is a smoking joe edition and you never see that around here.

But I would like to paint the bike in silver/black or silver/gold and cover whole deal in candy red. Or I may paint it the same scheme but with some good airbrushing and painted graphics. Not sure.

The swingarm is extended, pipe is erion racing pipe. Swingarm rides great, real smooth, corners fine for me. I'm running a 180 series on the back and its worn from one side to the other. The dice are off, along with other stickers the previous owner had on there.

My Plans:

Fix cracked body panels
Paint
chrome rear swingarm
polish gas cap ---done
polish rearsets/passenger pegs
polish stator cover/clutch cover maybe valve cover if its aluminum
paint frame
polish forks
new chain
cam chain tensioner
paint bezel around gauges
maybe shift light?? (hard time telling when to shift at the track-i always shift early)
-1/+2or 3 sprockets

maybe some other stuff
