Got myself a honda cbr600f3

Hoping to pass my test January time

The bike was a bargain off a local lad....just some cosmetic repairs needing done..

Currently taking all the fairings off as I've decided to get my mate to give it a full respray...should look the part

30k mile on the clock but it will do well for my first season when the sun comes out

Pics to follow

I'm looking at a new fairing kit for this bike but all suppliers seem to be in China, Is there any UK suppliers? Just think China could be risky

UK likely just reselling China kit unless you go Honda route.

Choose your fave China one and work with it.

This, genuine fairings would cost a hell of a lot more than the bike is worth.

OK, so are we doing a sweepstake on how many lugs and mountings have been snapped off or just plain missing?

Post some pics of them and let us know how the fitting goes Thumbs Up

+1 for where did you get them and write up on them plz ;D
I have an F3 which wants new fairings, mostly because I cannot be arsed to re-spray the old ones.
They are nearly 20 years old but all there and in one piece *sighs*, just not enough time for everything...
