I'm new to this website, although I've been reading for a little while now to learn about the F2 more.

I bought her two months ago. Clean title and 19k miles. Came with the stock pipe, mirrors, cluster, fairing stay bracket, rear tail section, headlight, fender, etc...but she needed some work:

- Carb cleaning
- Front fork seals
- Tires
- Oil/fluids change
- Clutch/brake levers & bar ends
- Fairings
- Paint
- Battery
- Oil/plugs/fluid change
- Chain and sprocket
- Brake pads

But the price was right so it's all good!

Pics:

I am also picked up the following parts for cheap :thumbup:

Got her back from the shop last week:

All was well, except we found a fuel leak right here:

Did a little DIY paintjob (no pics of all fairings on the bike yet):

P.S.: I already bought an Alpinestars TZ-1 jacket, Alpinestars S-Moto Octane gloves and a HJC CL-15 helmet. I'll be taking the MSF before I start riding the bike regularly.

My current project for the last 7 years has been a Honda as well (and it's probably quicker than my F2!):

I'm simply hoping to get this thing restored to stock, reliable condition. It should be completely finished this weekend!

Thats a turbo Bseries civic. It should be able to run those numbers on the right gas/tune. ;)

It's a turbo B18C5 motor, out of my buddy's 1998 Integra Type-R. Matching LSD tranny and all...too bad I cracked a sleeve back in September!

I'm throwing together a simple stock LS/VTEC turbo setup with my ITR head & ITR LSD tranny. It should put down around 350whp and run a mid-high 11-second quarter mile on slicks.

Meanwhile, the F2 will remain BONE STOCK (save for the K&N filter and RK Quick Acceleration chain & sprocket). :)

Question: What is the recommended part number for replacement NGK spark plugs? I want whatever's a stock OEM replacement.

Also, how hard is it to get another key? I only have the original one.

you can look up the spark plug number at ngksparkplugs.com and click on part-finder in the upper right hand corner. Or you can just not even bother and I'll tell you,

haha.

CR9EH-9 is the standard plug and CR9EHIX-9 is the iridium plug

I'm thinking the only way to get another key is through the dealership unless you can take it to a place that does key cutting and find the right sized blank, which I don't think is too likely.
With my Honda fourwheeler there is a number stamped into the side of the key. From what I'm told I could just tell the dealership that stamped number and they could order me a new key because there's only like 8 different keys for the ignition.

She''s almost done! I just need to paint the tank black, flush the coolant and install my frame sliders.
