The sky is the limit. You can make anything fit if you want it to. The only problem with an F2 is that the subframe is welded onto the frame unlike newer bikes where the subframe is bolted on. The easiet way to change a tail section is to change the whole subframe that way the plastics are assured to fit right. What this means is you would more than likely have to cut and weld on your frame.

I understand that the subframe is welded to the frame, but i was just thinking of i could slip over like the f4 tail or something more modern. I am gonna try not to go as far as cutting and welding, but if i have to i might do it. I know with all the time and money in the world you can do anything, but i am looking for something easy and simple first because it is then again a stunt bike.
thanks for the feedback

I found a guy that has complete f4i plastics, headlights, and tail section (without modding the subframe) all on his f2. i think i am going to put on the f4i tail just to make it look mean.
If you wanna see pics ... bikepics.com , click by model on the left colum, click honda, go to f2, 1991, and its on page 9,10, and 11.
I am sure some of you may enjoy this conversion
