Project CBR-PoS: Delivery


The PROJECT:

1990 Honda CBR600F 
       (generation 1 of the CBR series, came to the US in 87, dominated the midweight div for ~6 years, blahblahblah)








28k miles
- Might have had a life as a track bike... looks like it was the salvage bike of a 2 bike project

Good:
- Cranks/Turns over and stays on.  
- Carbs look clean
- Engine has never been cracked open
- Tranny should be good
- Clutch works.
- Frame, forks appears to be straight
- Has an old school yosh pipe
- Has the full fairing setup, thought I don't think its the stock... Looks like aftermarket fiberglass, pretty sweet. has damage though


The really good:
cheap. clean title
win.

Bad:
- looks like the bike had one crash on the right side, evidence in the headlight fairings, missing front brake lever, missing throttle tube, messed up right side fairing, engine crank cover, etc.
- fuel pump is out 
- Driver controls are messed up
- bearings on rear rim is shot.
**and more to come as i rip this bitch apart**

Needs:
- Fuel pump
- Throttle tube
- Clutch lever (cabled)
- Brake lever (hydro, duh)
- New rims... if I can afford it (or just get new bearings for the rear rim)
- New Tires forshuree
- mirrors
- signals? (need to look in parts box)

Potential Directions:
- Restore to factory settings
- Streetfighter the shit out of it.


If anyone has access to or knows anyone selling:
- Oxy/Acy Setup
- MIG welder
- Sandblasting Equipment

Cheers,
