I ride a 1991 F2. I've had it for 5 years now and can't find it in my heart to get rid of it (why would I want to, right?). I'm in the Washington, DC area. Below is a pic of my bike. Now, I'm off to skim through some these old posts to see whats been going on around here.

Here is list of a few things I've done:

D&D Pipe
Polished Bar ends
Custom Reflective Vinyl graphics
LP Carbon Triple tree cover
Maier Solo seat cowl
Harris tank pad
Goodridge Steal braided rear brake lines
Custom Fender eliminator
Custom Homemade chain guard
Mini carbon cat eye rear signals
Clear Alternatives tail light (w/ red LEDs)
Polished wheel lips
Polished stator
Polished Gas Cap
Polished forks
Polished heel guards
Polished F3 rear pegs
K&N Air Filter
Carbon Gauge bezel cover
Seat skin
Illumiglo White Face Gauges
Mini Aftermarket Mirrors
POR-20 Temp treated headers
LP Billet brake reservoir cover
Clear front signals w/ Amber bulbs
RK 530HFO O-Ring Gold Drive Chain
APE Manual CCT
Dunlop 208ZR Tires

do you even ride your bike or do you use it as a trophy piece? That bike is really sweet.

Did you attach spools for the stands? Did you have to drill them in yourself or what?

Haha...thanks a lot guys. Lets see here...Yes, I do ride it, all the time actually. I just am obsessed with cleaning it afterwards. This pic is right after a good cleaning. It has 24,000 Miles on it and has the original paint, except for the decals that are on it of course.

SYPHEN - The Handy stands are swingarm stands, no need for spools. They are made by a company called Handy Industries I think.

MT WALLET - They are decals, not paint. Decals, especially reflective decals, are unfortunately a bit pricy if you go with the better quality stuff. I don't have a connection but maybe someone does and can get you a good price.

Here are some more pics:

Where did you get those graphics at, and how much were they? I am about to paint my bike and I have been shopping around for something simple yet stylish. Thanks
