It could be a couple things, but more than likely, someone (previous owner (s)) put the Smokin Joe bodywork from a 96 F3 on your 94 F2. I know that they will interchange.

Try looking up some of the major aftermarket break manufactures, on the web (galfer, ebc, etc.). A break pad upgrade would probably make a difference. Also, check Ebay, searching under F2, or something. A lot of people still race these bikes, so there is bound to still be some good aftermarket support (I have a 900RR, so I really don't know what is out there for the F2). With the high price of F3 front wheels, it may not be worth it to change out to the F3 front end.

Good luck.
