WTB fork upgrade for a 1993 f2

[darkduc7]

hey, looking for options to upgrade the front end on my f2 track bike. i believe that would mean f3 forks, calipers, wheel, maybe triples, but im open to any better solutions as well (any inverted front ends work?). ultimately i wanna keep things pretty cheap cause im trying to save money for more track time too...

also looking for race plastics/fiberglass too, dont have to be perfect...mine are pretty rough and have been repaired too many times, might not survive past another lowside. tail isnt too important, but front and sides are needed.

600rr will bolt up.

Hey bud... I've got a bunch of F2 plastics from my streetfighter build left over I don't need anymore... (same year too!)

Some are a little scrapped up but still work just fine... tail sections are pretty nice though...

if your interested I can have pics up tomorrow.

i would be interested in seein them. as long as they arent cracked, especially at the mounting points.

F4i woudl work too. Cheaper than a USD and 43mm (over the 41mm F2's)

[darkduc7]

hmm. so just buy the whole front end, forks, triples, stem, calipers, rotors, wheel, ect and throw it in? no other issues?

[Doc]

Yep. Same thing we do on Hawks. I would get some measurements to make sure the forks are close to the same length and be aware of your rake/trail.

[darkduc7]

nice. ill do that. gotta find something soon, i was hoping before the laps day in july

no problem man... I'll get them up tonight.. as far as I know no cracks in any of them I think.. just a little rashed from being down once or twice but thats it.

okey dokie...

I have... both rear tail fairings with center piece... both side fairings WITH inners fully intact... the right side is the more busted up one... there is one mounting point in the center which is broken but the pieces could easily be glued. Left side is in great condition...

Rear hugger in very good condition...

fuse box cover...

I also have the rear tail light assembly and the small sub-frame for that peice if you need it.

Heres the pics...

Center tail piece




Fuse box cover




Tail fairings






Side fairings





the only broken mounting hole...



this was the biggest crack... It doesn't go to the mounting hole but I still used some ABS epoxy on the back and gobbed it on there to make it strong again....


inner fairings



If your interested shoot me a PM

thanks for the pics flyerkaz. i think im going to pass though, the side fairings dont look like they would mount up to my front fairing (i have fiberglass race bodywork on it now). sorry man

[flyer_kaz]

its all good man... GL on the front end swap...

here.. I'll give you a link to a guy who put on a 600rr forks AND swingarm on his F3!...

F3 forks will slide right in. the wheel, brakes and triples are all the same. the only difference between the F2 and F3 forks was the F3 forks were fully adjustable.

sorry bud.. thats not quite correct.... won't happen unless you swap out everything from the F3... brakes and wheels included... the only thing thats the same is the triple trees and upper fork tubes...

F2 rotors are 296mm and are not floating... they bolted directly to the rim...

F3 rotors are 310 and are floating... which means the rim is designed completely different and the caliper mounting points are moved farther up the forks.

if you wanted to keep the same F2 wheels and brakes... you can swap out the internals from the F3 to keep the F2 fork lowers.

If I were to go through the trouble I would want to gain the better F3 brakes as well. Also considering just having my current forks rebuilt for my weight and calling it good...I'm only planning on keeping the bike through this summer and buying another track bike in the winter.

Ultimately I hope to find a good deal on a swap that will be worthwhile.

my bad. when i swapped mine i did do the WHOLE front end purely for cosmetic reasons so i was unaware of the rotor change
