needless to say the neighbors have hated me since i was 18 with a gsxr1100 with a Yance&Hines slip on, then my fiero with NO mufler and bored out engine... and now, 2 years later I'm a motorcycle tech in training who works on stuff everyday while blaring music and making all sorts of racket... no cops have been called yet lol

Hey franken, I want to do a bit of "franken-ing" of my own - I want to make up my own "franken-forks" with '98 forks - do you still have those bent-up forks from your '95? I want 'em! I'm a noob here and can hardly post or pm, I hope offering to buy stuff is OK... Neil (neimis)

Hey Franken, good project you got going there. As you can see, I'm new on this site. Coincidently, I wanted to build a streetfighter also, and just picked up a '97 F3 which has "SOMEWHAT" been started by the previous owner. It's in running condition, but does have issues. Mine also came with the headlight set up that you went with (2 rectangle lights). But I also bought an Acerbis Cyclop from a buddy that I might end up going with.
Keep up the good work. As of right now, I need to get mine running correctly before focusing on asthetics since it's also my mode of transportation.
I have a question for you and anyone else that may know:
I'm not too concerned with having an instrument cluster. I may have to remove it anyhow in order to make the Cyclop headlight fit correctly. But when I unplug the wiring harness(es) from the stock gauges, the bike seems to run differently (worse). I wouldn't think that unplugging the gauges would have any effect? But then again, the bike isn't running correctly in the first place, so it could just be my imagination. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

i am digging the bike franky! keep the good stuff coming!!!!!
the gauges is what provides a ground for the air solenoid. removing the gauges without performing the air solenoid bypass will cause this.
See page 4 of my build thread for instructions and pictures on how to perform this. link below
