My F2 project. [Archive]

I've been slowly working on this bike for over a year.
Here's where I'm at so far.

F4i Swingarm, wheel, suspension,
600RR tail, seat, cowl
GSXR 1000 front end.
All wires run inside frame

I hope to have it complete by early next year.

Currently I'm searching for a lower clamp, since the one I have is tweaked.

When I first got the bike.
New tail mounted.

I figured it'd take you about 1/10th of a second to sniff out this thread... :lol:

Nice streetfighter project you got going... Is it one of those, no or low money jobs where you frankenbike the thing because of cheap or free parts availablity... or are you just trying to make it wicked different...

A little bit of both. I like building frankenbikes.

Bob, I have both F2 rims with rotors, forks, triples, calipers, brake lines, etc...

Pm me with an offer, they are white. They look like they're in good shape. The bike sat for years, it's got only 8000 miles on it.

The frame/swingarm are going to be satin black, not sure about the wheels and the tank/tail/fender.

On one side I'd like something very mute that will blend in, since I'm going to get into trouble with that bike.

On the other side, I'd like to do a wild bright paint job to stand out.

The bike will not have any gauges, just a neutral/oil light.

Going to run something like this for a headlight

Using the stock clear 600rr tail light.

That's one of the better streetfighter setups I've seen... I dunno though... I like the raw look of the triples and steering head visible from the front... I'd probably just put some tiny fog lights on there and call it a day.

hey leon did u find the throttle cable and brake cable u were looking for?

Leon

11-30-2008, 10:37 PM

I've thought about that as well. Originally I was going to mount a headlight from a 03-04 gsxr 1000 right between the forks. That ended up not working out.

I'm going to run a little bit of nitrous through it as well, I should be able to fit a 5lb bottle in the tail. It going to be funny passing 750's.

I shouldn't need longer ones. The GSXR front end lowered the bars quite a bit. Just take a look in the pics,

I like it a lot. the F2's are pretty good bikes overall, shouldnt have TOO much trouble running nitrous.

I cant wait to see the final product myself. it should be pretty awesome. Leon, did you ever see my old EX500 with an 06 GSXR600 headlight modified to fit it?

how painful was the swingarm swap?

Leon

It wasn't too painful. I have a friend who's an incredible welder. He cut and rewelded the F4i swingarm to fit the F2 frame. I cut down the F4i swingarm shaft, he rewelded it, then I had to drill out the frame in order to fit the wider shaft. Then I had to make a spacer to line up the front sprocket with the rear.

nice, yer making me wish i still had my f1. an old school cbr with modern rubber would be very tempting as a workbike next season

Dave

12-06-2008, 10:01 PM

oh, any monkeying required with the shock mount?

I'm riding the PISS out of mine. when properly tuned, I have NO question it'll keep right up with the newer 600's and1000s in the turns. NO QUESTION. but I do have an ohlins shock on the rear, and sooner or later I'm putting F2 forks with F3 internals on there along with F2 triple trees and maybe rim.

im seriously >< this close to calling the kid i sold it to to see if he wants to sell it back. then again if i could find a decent f2 in that purple red scheme id be down for that as well :drool:

I miss my F2 (42,000 miles on it stolen) and my F3 (36,000 miles on it sold when I got the RC51)

I would buy another F3 in a heartbeat but it tough to find one with a good second gear they wheelie way to good.

Dave

12-07-2008, 11:07 AM

f3s all seem to be deep in the 3000s around here. 1s and 2s are much more reasonable

any more work done to the F2?

This is nice... but its almost a sin to put an R6 front end on a Honda.... and then still paint "Honda" on the bottom. :scratch:

I love the single sided swing arm!

I'm not sure how putting all of that high end equipment on a F2 frame with a F2 motor could make sense to anyone? Oh well, it's his money I guess...:idk:

its not an f2 motor. He has a 900rr lump wedged in there with open pods. Probably sounds free swinging tits

look ar the old vfr and nsr tails. They are pretty goddamned close.
