Well I was trying to sell the cbr and no one was really interested in her because of her colors, so I decided to revive her and make her a little more appealing. This is what I started off with and what she looks like now. I'm getting new 1998 plastics painted black and copper orange!
When she was dropped off the very first day!!!
She came with a full two brothers exhaust, velocity stacks, jet kit, k&n air filter, cf grips and mirrors.
As she sits now:
And I have added to her cf gas cap, cf tank pad, cf triple tree cover, rear tail delete with plate mount led plate lights and led plate mount turn signals, and a second look seat skin.
Here is a picture of the new plastics and color scheme:
as well as the new mods that will be done while changing over are:
carbon fiber brake and clutch levers
1998 plastics painted black and copper orange
black grips
carbon fiber gauge cover
carbon fiber mirrors
carbon fiber tank pad
custom embroiled seat skin
new carbon fiber tank pad
flush mount front turn signals
under tail
intergrated tail light
carbon fiber front and rear pegs
carbon fiber case cover
I'll post pics of the progress once I start the transformation. Just waiting on the plastics to be finished![]()
The new colors are going to look great! Can't wait to updated pictures.

Should be a huge upgrade!
So you are still going to sell it?
that's a lot of carbon look alike...

"If your mom's got a schlong, run away, she's not your mom...."
the colors look nice. A lot of fake carbon fiber is a bit tacky IMO....but are you going to fight your seat cover or get it 'embroidered'?
looks awesome, but i've always admired the people who keep the stock plastics, heinously 90s colorscheme and all.
it'll certainly look nice, but my personal opinion is that i'd prefer a mint period-accurate colorscheme.
hurray, strikethrough!

+1. some 32 year old guy is finally going to tell his wife to shut her mouth and hes going to buy that F3 hes wanted since it was new in '96. Just hold on to that plastic!
here is a picture of the passenger part of the seat skin

I lke the original colors, but I also really like the new colors, too. Should look really nice.
But yeah, chalk me up as another fake carbon fiber hater. It's your bike, not mine so take this for what it's worth (which isn't much) but I can't stand it. Soooo played out. If you're gonna go C/F then get the real stuff.

most of it is real...its hard to find a lot of the real stuff for my bike![]()
Heh... .mixing & matching fake with real is even worse IMO.
Speaking of which, thanks for the reminder... I gotta either replace or scuff & paint the fake c/f blinkers that came w/ my bike![]()
