Done!!!
« on: April 29, 2007, 09:03:18 AM »
After finally finishing the gauges, and painting the seat trim on my never ending F2 project, I pronounced it done, and posted pics at http://www.sohc4.us/gallery/v/members/personal/jtb/


Since being DONE, I have:

Ordered transistorized ignition from Hondaman

Ordered a new seat

Ordered Boge shocks

Ordered Progressive fork springs

I may have missed a previous thread.... where did you go/what did you pay for the new seat? - I have a 76 that needs a seat and am unhappy with a new aftermarket cover that I paid too much for...

What a great job on another fantastic F !! That's actually what the F stands for -  FANTASTIC. Not FAST as most had suspected.

"I may have missed a previous thread.... where did you go/what did you pay for the new seat? - I have a 76 that needs a seat and am unhappy with a new aftermarket cover that I paid too much for..."   

Almost non existent - I recently picked up a NOS 77/78 off EBay for $250. I'd trade it and the NOS black trim pieces for a NOS 75/76 seat and Flake Sunrise Orange trim pieces if anyone finds one.
