Noob from KY
Hey everyone, just joined and thought I'd start an into thread. I picked up a busted up broken down F2 600 that was a stunt bike and I'm slowly turning it into a StreetFighter. I paid $300 for it so I can't complain. I put some time and a little money into and got her looking decent enough to ride, but then winter came...I stripped it down and she's getting new parts and paint. I'm really anxious to get her back together again with all the new goodies. I'm looking forward to reading a ton on this forum and learning something for you vets. I'm a sponge right now, so teach me, I'm willing to learn.
The first photo is the day I picked it up, and the second is how she looked before I tore her down for the winter.

Welcome to the CBRF mate :-)
300 bucks ... a nice and cheap way to get started in anyone's terms
Looks like you are doing a good job cleaning her up too !!! 100% better !!!

I love to see people restore / save bikes and bring them back into service looking sweet !! .... nice :-)

Crazy CBR Salvage Guy. RIP
I spent far too much of my teenage years stopped on the side of the road chatting to Velocity Doctors.
Now I'm in my 50's I've realized it just a bit easier if you stay (slightly) on the right side of the law.
But I'd still like a pipe like that, that frightens small children and makes dogs lie down and show the whites of their eyes.
Maybe I should buy a Harley?
No, I've just checked; 10kg underweight, and I don't own a black tee shirt.

I forgot to tell everyone my name is Nick and I'm just outside Lexington, KY. I've got a laundry list of things I'm working on so I think I'll start a build thread in the fighter sections!
It's legal here in KY. Loud Pipes save lives...that's my motto 
It's loud and MEAN...but I'm building my own baffle for it because it's too much flow and I'm not getting enough back pressure. It's a custom pipe too, I made it out of some scrap 2.25 pipe I had.
Thanks! I'm in Nicholasville, which is basically Lexington now, just a few miles south. I know London very well, I'm no stranger to 75S.
