Default New guy from S.E. Arizona

Hello everybody. Thought I would join up and see what I can find out about CBR600 F3. I picked up a 96 model a couple of years ago and it's been sitting in the corner of the garage waiting to get restofied. It's in pretty bad shape from sitting outside in Savannah GA before I got it. Lots of rusty, bent, broken, missing and generally jacked up stuff. I'll be posting pictures and information as the rebuild goes along.

Welcome to the forum Larry!
You will find all the info you need around here somewhere. The F3 has been discussed stem to stern many times over throughout the years. If you're not clear on anything, or just want to ask, feel free to do so. There are many helpful, and knowledgeable, members here that don't mind answering questions and giving opinions.

Good luck with the project. Start a "build thread" and document your progress.
Hopefully you have another bike to ride in the meantime.....

Welcome aboard!
Plans are to go through the entire bike and replace everything that is missing, broken, goobered up. Polish, paint and spiff up the rest. I have torn it down to the bare frame and am in the process of putting it all back, although it's slow going. Everything is rusted, broken, corroded or missing. And I do mean everything. I'll be doing a build thread soon.
