Default New from Lincoln UK

Just picked up a CBR600 f2 the other week which has been street fighetered by the previous owner.
I've got loads to do on it and planned to get it back to being fully faired with the castrol colours on it

Welcome!

Good luck getting her back to former glory. The updated tail looks good though.

And it looks better than the stock one, IMO.
I'd see about getting F4 or rr plastics on there. There are some conversion threads around you should check out.

Will have a look at some of the threads for that because that would look really good!

Welcome to the CBR Forum,

There's a bit of work to replace the fairing, but it'll be worth it. And I do like the castrol colours. Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers, SB

I fully support people customising their property however they fancy... but there are a lot of CBR's on the market which have been 'streetfightered' and look worse off for it.

Keep us updated on your progress. It'll be lovely to see her put back in some nice sleek and pretty plastics. I do agree that the tail looks pretty sweet, she should look very interesting when you're done

Welcome to the forum!
