This thread is awesome, you took a piece of work that the world had all but given up on, and you gave it new life. There arent enough riders who have the time, patience, knowledge, or money to do what you did. Well done.

Thanks a lot for the compliment. I definitely had time and patience to work on it but i didnt know much about bikes when i got it. Luckily i have a good friend that helped me every time i needed it. It was a very low cost build but ive been starting to spoil her lately. Picked up a corbin 600rr seat and a manual cct for it and i have 90% of an f4 rear swing arm assembly waiting to go on but just havent had time to gather all the rest of the parts i need for the swap.

I picked up some more goodies for it and finally got around to installing everything.

Delkavic SS70 stubby exhaust can, radiator that isnt bent up like my stock one was, Bikemaster candy drop mirrors with led signals. Spy 5000m alarm with proximity sensor.

Got the corbin seat put on and wow what a difference in comfort, i can ride longer than 20 mins without my *** getting sore. I dont know why i waited so long to get a manual cct but it sounds like a completely different bike now that the rattle is gone. Easily the best 50$ ive spent on the bike yet.

Love the look man, I've seen people do rear end swaps but they cut sub frame off and replace it all together, this looks much simpler, cheaper, and in my opinion safer. Fixing to start turning my '96 cbr1000f into a street fighter and this has inspired me to swap the back end for something sportier
