'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.

Again, amazing painting skills makes these parts as perfect as the real thing.

Interesting story behind the kit. Great paint job.

Great start!!! Can't wait to see more...:)

great start !!

Cool Old School. Looking forward to this one.

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

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.

the silver ones would work. I'm not to picky lol would rather it say 900 than 750

Great work with the plate!

Hi
Great work and amazing attention to detail! Loved those 900Fs!
How did you do the oil cooler - is that some custom P/E you've done there?

cheers
Rick

I found the PE in the model train section, they are actually "stairs" for a train caboose lol.

small update,
the instrument panel in the kit is not the same as what my bike had.
but its close enough
