'82 Honda cb900f

hey guys, gonna try and build a decent replica of my old 1/1 bike.
My dad had the bike since around 1987, and I have been driving it since i was 16.

i did sell it a few years ago and got a new sport bike though! but this was a super fun bike.
it had some performace upgrades, a 1050 big bore kit, clutch, ignition, oil cooler, exhaust, custom swing arm fork brace, etc.

I will do some sort of custom base to make a tribute for my dad who passed away back in '98

i'll have to track down some "cb900f" decals for the side covers though!, I had this kit years ago and could have sworn it came with them but this one only has the 750 ones.

heres a pic from way back in 88 or around that time. me on the back.


and this is more recent.

Re: '82 Honda cb900f

So you need the CB900F decals? Let me check if I have them for you. I think I used the 750f decals back then.

Re: '82 Honda cb900f

I had a look in my decalbox and found the 900f decals but there are no orange ones. I only have the silver versions. Maybe it's because I build the CB750F Custom Tuned kit from Tamiya that they include different decals? I used the same silver versions 750F decals on my own build.
