From the UK with a Hybrid
 
Afternoon all.
I live in the UK and have a Hybrid project streetfighter.
A CBR400 NC23 Frame with a CBR600 F2 1992 Engine fitted..
and i ride a "normal" CBR400 NC29 fully faired which i have owned for almost 9 years, been riding for 13+

for those of you who dont know, the CBR400s (VFR/RVF/CB to name a few others) were built for the jap market & are were only ever "grey imports", due to the strict US rules, you wont see these around.. unless you in to the race scene.

anyway the reason i am here.. is parts for the F2 engine.. i can get parts from the UK.. but some parts are cheaper from the US & another source of info on the engine in general as the UK CBR forums a bit dead!
