Welcome!
That's a nice change, but it looked pretty good before. Nice wheelie too...

Welcome aboard Dwight!

Nice looking transformation on your F2. I've always liked the repsol color scheme(s).

Be safe out there.

also if you guys could hook me up that is realy familiar with the f2 engine i would be appreciative...my bike was down for awhile while i rebuilt the engine after toasting a rod and the crank doing stand up wheelies and im back on the road again but still wanna pull her up do you know someone who could give me a max angle the pick up tube will pull oil cause i dont really want to have to spend the money i just did again ...so ill adjust my wheelie style to alter angle of the bike if i can find the limit
thanks ahead of time =)

welcome to cbrf, very good looking f2. i've never broken an f2 motor down, but i'm sure there's that kind of info out there somewhere. good luck with it.

Welcome backwoods - love the F2's!

For the pickup angle question, I've never heard it asked before inthe regular F2 forum, but it is a concern that stunters have to consider. I'd drop down to the stunter's forum and see if anyone there has something to share.

I think I read somewhere that overfilling the oil by .5 quarts helps with oil starvation. Like AJ says, check the stunter's section for info on this.

Welcome! Nice wheelie pic. I never really like the Repsol fairings for my bike, but they look good on that F2.
