Default New from STL

Just bought my first bike, 95 CBR F3 about a month ago in about 200 pieces.
Bike came with one full rebuilt motor, 1 stock blocked with ported heads w/ new valves, and a block bored with a storker crank. 3 extra pistons for stock block, two extra f4 cams, 2 full transmissions. About 50 extra nuts and blots, extra oil cools, water pump, full set of gaskets new in plastics, a few extra rockers and valves, clean carbs w/ jet kit, k&n air filter, 90w hid kit, full yohsi exhaust, new 520 chain, -1f +2r sprockets, new rear tire. No plastics

So basically, i bought a truck bed full of parts/ motors, and a frame. All for $500 clean title in hand.

I've already rebuilt the bike and only had to replace right hand brake lever. Less than $100 in parts and fluids to get her running. Already did the air solenoid mods.

Still running into lots of problems but i love it so far. At 18 years old, i feel crazy having bought and rebuilt a bike.

Anyway here are a few pictures

Welcome to the CBR Forum Harmless,

Well at only 18 I think you have done a fantastic job on your bike - very well done!! And there is absolutely NO need to feel crazy.

Doing it yourself makes the effort only sweeter

Lots of 600 owners on the forum, so ask any questions you need - or more to the point with your skills, feel free to help others.

Cheers, SB
