    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know there's other F owners here - post 'em up!
 
I'll have to see if i can find a pic of the cb1100 i dragraced in '91 and '92.
 
Does anyone remember the Honda Sport Control Kit for the F? An accessory package offered by Honda and it contained the European footpeg plates, lower bars and cables and basically converted the US model into the Euro one. I installed it on mine. And then I sold it like a dope.

Yep - lots of F's have been converted to the sportkit. The kit's no longer available from Honda but you can pick the rearsets and RH control up from most overseas countries (eBay Germany, UK etc.) and then just go with a lower bar. Much better riding position with the kit fitted.
 
Peter, i have a very similar set of Works piggyback shocks one of which has a blown seal.
Did you send them back to the factory for a refurb or did you do it yourself?
I don't mind painting the bodies or getting the springs powdercoated but seals and a recharge are out of my comfort zone.

I love WP shocks - they are worth saving/restoring. Here's how they looked before I started the work on them;

I removed the springs, collars etc. and sent everything out for media blasting. I then sent the complete shocks (less springs/collars) out to Works Performance in CA. A 'rebuild' runs $140 but this assumes everything is in excellent condition. I thought my shafts were spotless, but the folks at WP picked up some minor nicks in the surface, so they had to be replaced. The rebuild ended up costing me $300 (plus shipping). I then painted everything and reassembled them;

Thanks for the info.They are beautiful.
Mine are in better shape but are a level down in quality. I will contact Works.
They are only 12.5" eye to eye, so no good for an F.
 
Works sells the seals and such so you can rebuild them for pretty cheap. I did a set and it was easy. Salty Monk (Dan) has them now and likes them (or so he told me).
 
Slowly taking shape - always a milestone for me when they become rollers;
