'94 CBR600F2 Donor


My brother James graciously donated his red / white / black '94 F2 for our first race bike. Of course, it was totaled in a street encounter with a M1A1 Buick, but hey, it was a start.

The first job was to strip it down and see how bad the damage was. The front upper fairing & bracket, fender and instrument panel were mashed. The fork tubes were tweaked, along with the front rim. The left side engine cover was gouged pretty badly and the left side foot peg was broken off. All of these parts needed to be replaced. The rest of the bodywork was in good shape, excepting some scuffing on both lowers. Out came the catalogs and here's what I ordered:

Part Supplier
front rim (used) North County Motorcycle Salvage
foot pegs (used) North County Motorcycle Salvage
Factory left side engine cover Targa
front fairing Targa
Maier ABS front fender Targa
fairing bracket Graves Motor Sports
Honda fork tubes Escondido Cycle Center
Daytona temperature gauge Crago Racing
Auto Meter tach Lockhart Phillips
clear SpeedScreen Lockhart Phillips

Escondido Cycle Center took care of replacing the fork tubes & rebuilding the fork internals. I spent the next three months putting it all back together and getting everything to race spec.

All the smog gear went into a box. I had a local muffler shop whip up a couple of cover plates for the air injection ports on the head. The local Kragen Auto supplied a variety of rubber caps to plug up all the open vacuum lines.

I made a few mods to the Graves fairing bracket by adding neutral and oil pressure lights (Kragen) to the left side, and mounted the fuse holder on the right. I bolted on a small aluminim plate for the lights and mounted the Daytona temperature gauge above that.

Lockhart Phillips number plates, Spectro 10w40 oil, and Redline Water Wetter finished up the project.
