I hope I don't wear anyone out, but I just got this 1993 900RR and I am really looking forward to getting her back into shape.

You can see the rear has been cobbled together.

The plastics on the right are broken and/or missing.

The left has one decent piece.
The engine is not running at this time but I hope to have it apart this week.
I just wanted to start a little photo journel as I go.

I got most of the Fairings off.

As well as the front end. I need to pull the engine and I have new fairings coming.

Hopefully I will have the engine out this week.

Yeah, projects!

Kinda looks like the entire oil pan emptied onto the foor there...

I pretty much went through a similar process, and the only way I managed was to clean as much of the bike as I possibly could. I'm not saying everyone should do this, but the satisfaction I received from massaging my bike back to working order would not have been possible without a gallon of Simple Green, water, and a dozen toothbrushes. Then again, no one but me has owned my bike, so it may be a unique requirement--but damn, it became grade A passion again when I finally put down the last rag...

And you could never wear anyone out...restorations deserve attention and care, so please post continuously in your photo journal. Thanks Uncle!

I just bought a full set from a fellow CBR Forum member.
When they arrive and I have a chance to look them over I will know better what I need.
Thanks so much for the response.

I got the engine out and on the ground.

You can see the hole in the block where a rod made it air cooled.

The job of pulling the engine was fairly simple, I found a post where a fellow member did a step by step. It really made it easy to follow.
I'm at a stopping point until I get the fairings in and/or find an engine.

wow! how long did it take to remove you engine and how many bolts to remove? i have 2 cbr 900 both 93 both red, white and blue but i bought 1 crashed the other is mint. i have 98 percent of the body parts all after market and updated the fairings to 97 model, however my engine will not run won't even chug when trying to start. the starter just fires. when i got the bike it had a hole in the bottom of the oil pan. when i changed it i looked in side and it looked pretty clean i saw no metal shavings or pieces. i think that it may be siezed so i may take it out and have it rebuilt if it won't cost a fortune. i am into this bike for more than i paid for the mint one. be careful the cost can sneek up on you. good luck.

I would be interested in a 97 front end the lights and all I would be willing to trade a CF overlayed front fairing with matching mirrors and a double bubble :)

Sorry the HID's stay with me....

Ok I am looking for a set of 95 to 99 uppers complete they can have some damage as long as it is repairable

I need the fairing, lights, windscreen, mirrors everything but the insurments..

what I have to offer is

straight swap for aset of overlayed CF uppers, with a double bubble, CF mirrors and some thing reall f'n cool

stealth turn signals....

ok look close between the holes and you will see small white dots ...

and this is when the turn signal is on

and here it is on the bike

my engine will not run won't even chug when trying to start. the starter just fires.

After I replaced my stator cover, I accidentally pushed the starter motor gear off of its little spindle--so the starter had no chance at all to turn the crank and get things moving. Go ahead, ask me how long it took to figure out what I had done lol. As soon as I put the gear back in place and re-applied the stator cover a little more carefully...bam, fire in the hole.

Hopefully your situation might be this simple...

Ok
1. find the led's make sure they are 12V
2. measure the led's for size and get a drill a smidgen bigger
3. push the led thru the holes where they just stick out and epoxy them in (Maxium 883 is what I use from evercoat)
4. Now sand em down and clear or if it is stock plastics sand them down smooth with some 600, 100, 1500, 2000 and 3000
5. buff em out
6. wire em up you will need to get a resistance ballast or the led's will either tweaker blink bad ot not at all
7. ENJOY

hows that
