oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Well guys heres my f3. I haven't posted this on this forum so I thought I would show you guys all my project thread, from the time i got my bike untill now.Now shes had a hard life. Shes been down a few times from what I can tell, and no one ever really repaired what they broke. When I got ahold of it it had 37304 miles on her. The rear brake pedel was gone, and thanks to a member of the forum I now have rear brakes back on. Someone had spray painted it black, right over the honda stickers. It is now in the middle of being prepped for paint. A couple peices of the body work are pretty rough, but I am going to shoot it anyways, and peice it back together as time goes with really nice body work. I still have a list of parts I need for it such as the upper right fairing(near the headlight) the "inspection covers" on the sides, and a front fender. I could also use the left side rear fairing. Here is a pic from when I bought the bike home. It is now almost entirley stripped of the black paint, minus the one upper fairing I need and the tank. I will update this thread as I go along.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 thanks everyone. i didn't really dig into it deep until right around Christmas time last year, and we shot it in February, so think that's too bad from how it started out. I started out with 37304 on it and ive now got almost 42000. So shes got alil bit of seat time. Not as much as I would like, but summers not over yet!

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 id like to swap to the 97-98 race tail and a few other things, but other than that shes good to go. Whats everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrillo Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 replace the missing bolt on the right side lower fairing and you're good to go. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 only issue with that missing bolt, is if you look at the pictures of the build that entire area was gone. I had to remake it with glass.At that time, I couldnt make new tabs, so im actually missing a tab right there. I am probably going to go back and make a tab this winter.

954RRLuke Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The F3 is a fantastic bike. Glad to see someone restoring them. They run for ever and were great performers. Here's a pic of the one I had. It was fast back in those days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the shorty pipe, thats straight ebay! thats the moto gp pipe everyone asks about on cbr forum. halfass welded some washers in there to mellow it down, and thats it. I cant belive ive seen guys pay upwards of 150 bucks for those things!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Looks really good. Nice restoration. Have you thought about painting the inspection doors, or are you leaving them? Either way, looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think I am going to leave them black. Some reason I really like that combination. I was going to keep the fender black too, but I broke down and painted it. I painted my solo seat cowl I have too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
