My Custom CBR600F2 Project Details

A small plastic repair project evolved into a full out disassembly and customization of this bike over the summer of 2009 through spring (hopefully) of 2010. Here you can follow my project from start to "finish" (I still have more to do).

Project Background:

Base Bike: 1992 Honda CBR600F2
Phase I - Complete - F4i Tail Swap / Frame Customization, Powder Coating, and Mechanical Necessities
Phase II - This Phase has become Phase V after discovering a more advanced option. Originally: 900RR Rear Wheel, Upgraded Suspension and Brakes
Phase III - LED Style Lighting, HID Headlight, Smoked Headlight, Smoked Turn Signals, Cigarette Outlet for GPS
Phase IV - Paint Job - Black (Gloss, Flat, Satin, Truck Bed Liner, or Chalk Board Paint? - There are more options than you think!)
Phase V - VFR 750 Single Sided Swing Arm and Wheel Assembly w/ 180 Tire, Upgraded Suspension and Brakes

Project Details - 100% blacked out including the exhaust. Upgrades include '01-'03 F4i tail with undertail and LED turn signals, VFR 750 single sided swing arm and wheel assembly with 180 tire, carbon fiber mirrors with integrated turn signals, HID headlight, carbon fiber foot pegs, carbon fiber levers, recovered F4i seats with custom embroidery ("Radman Customs" or something like that) carbon fiber extended frame sliders, carbon fiber tank and gas cap pads, smoked headlight, smoked turn signals, smoked wind screen, alarm system / bike locator, and orange LEDs over the tires, engine, etc. The wheels, frame, swing arm, brake calipers, triple tree, and any other exposed metal will be powder coated. New wiring harness due to the numerous problems that I have faced with the original. Stainless steel braided brake lines, gold valve cartridge fork emulators, 15 W fork oil, new springs, upgraded rear shock (haven't decided on specifics yet).

The way it sits today - Here it is as it sits today. It's come a long way but still has a long way to go. Start from the bottom of the page to view the project in chronological order.

I am also going to post a detailed write up at some point on the F4i tail conversion portion of the project since I get a lot of questions on it.

Presently:

Originally, I got screwed over on a single piece upper fairing from Rockwall Performance that was junk. I had trouble finding a stock setup that I could afford but I finally got my hands on one that is ready to paint and install.
