Hey guys, my 1st post on this exellent forum :)

I have an old CBR 600 F1 1990 that needs a major overhal. Since I am going to spend alot of time and some money on the bike, I consider doing som major upgrades on it.

First off, will the F3 swingarm fit the F1 frame? I also want to change the forks and front brakes to an F3. Is this possible without any massive chanhes to the frame?

Any help will be appreciated. I also need some help finding these parts (rims included).

out of everything you would need for the front suspension, the rim will be the hardest item to find if not the most expensive.

Thanks a lot Sir! :)

Edit:

I have looked through the links now, and have to say the front-end swap you did was awesome. Really nice work! Thanx again for helping me.
