oh i see, you can tell the different years from the color schemes its just something you learn from reading about them all the time like i do, i found this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/cbr-600-f2-f3-cbr600-upper-fairing-kit-lower-headlight_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35583QQihZ002QQitemZ120076031492QQrdZ1 its not everything you need so you would have to buy the tail fairing center upper and rear fairing you would have to buy a different rear light and seat with these fairings that im showing you they change the rear section in 97 & 98 i saw alot of these color schemes on there also http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CBR-600-F3-Right-Front-Fairing-97-HO-06-01_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35583QQihZ003QQitemZ130069752615QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-Honda-CBR-600-F3-Left-Lower-Side-Fairing-Red_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35583QQihZ007QQitemZ170063538404QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/R-1997-Honda-CBR-600-F3-Left-Lower-Fairing-Cowl_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ10066QQihZ016QQitemZ260055781176QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CBR600-CBR-600-F3-Left-Side-Fairing-Cowl_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35583QQihZ011QQitemZ320034858877QQrdZ1

As far as making it appear to be a newer bike, there are a ton of things you can do. Here's one, though we have still had no one, that I know of, succesfully contact this manufacturer to get prices. Here is an F3 kit from Spain... Badass... [img]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/KidCr3nshaw/SpanishF3Kit.jpg[/img]

HAVOC -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/22/2007 3:34:14 AM)
i love the way the tail looks and yes it deffinetly appears to be a F2 .. i might just have to try and photoshop that and make it look more F3-ish

KidCr3nshaw -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/22/2007 10:45:51 AM)
I was under the impression that the F2 and F3 was completely interchangeable. I think the only difference is the side fairing mounting bolt, isn't it (the one under the maint. cover)? I don't even have bolts for mine on there so I say to eff with it - someone buy one sos we can see a pic installed. If anything, the subframe and the upper fairing stay should match - that's enough to buy this kit... hell, the rear would be enough for me!

HAVOC -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/22/2007 10:49:17 AM)
i always heard that the fairing stay is different between an f2/f3 .. ill try and find that info

KidCr3nshaw -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/22/2007 11:33:13 AM)
Even if it is, it has to be minor. A new stay could be welded in seconds. Screw the tech stuff, we'll make it fit! Let's get a price on these bad boys... someone here posted the original link but twas in Spanish - anyone care to translate if we find the site again?

SEAN_VANCE -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/22/2007 5:36:51 PM)
Post it up, ill translate...Im interested DAAAAAAM....why buy a new bike with that kit?[:D]

supaflypriest -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/23/2007 7:52:35 PM)
Wow! Lets get some more info on this!

noslofivoh -> RE: Making the bike look newer (1/26/2007 12:56:37 PM)
The F2 and F3 fairing stays are different. No need to do any welding though. You can just unbolt either and swap them over. My F3 came originally with an F2 fairing stay and F2 plastics. I changed the stay and installed 98 model plastics- for the newer looking tail- plus it was a matching set of plastics. I got them complete off ebay for $499 plus shipping which I think was $99 insured.
