I have a CBR F2 and I am converting it into a street fighter. I have removed my fairings and I am not sure how I'm going to mount my Acerbis Diamond headlight. My speedometer and fairing bracket are in the way. I could get rid of the bracket what do I do about the speedometer? My cluster stickes out about 6 inches from my forks. I definitly want to keep the cluster. I will not remove it. I am posting pics of the cluster and I would appreciate it if someone could tell me a good looking, and effective way to mount the headlight. Also if someone else could post pix of there F2 or F3 streetfightrs that would be great. Thanks.

 

everyone that runs the acerbis style lights just tosses the gauges.. As long as you have good coolant in, a constant wired fan, and a rev limiter, you will never have a problem i ran with no gauges for a really long time. You get used to how the bike sounds and then when you ride a bike with gauges, you never use them. I just keep mine in the truck so that if im at the lot and something sounds really off, i plug them in to see if there are any error codes.

 

removing the upper fairings and/or sides does not make it a streetfighter...

and since you won't take your gauges off just put the upper back on.

are you going to stunt this bike?

 

I have no fairings, I'm putting on a cage, I'm putting on a dirtbike headlight, and I already have a 12 bar. What else is there to making a streetfighter? And yes I'm going to stunt my bike. The only reason I don't want to take my gauges off is mostly because of the tachometer. I don't have a rev limiter, and I'm worried about redlining it. I guess I would take them off if I could get an aftermarket tach! How hard are they to hook up? Where can I get a good one?

 

get rid of the guages, ziptie the headlamp 2 ur forks and wow, magic, u just streetfighter ur sheit. the f2 is a beefy bike to begin with, and if your redlining, ur already missing up cuz ur going to damn fast. this is what i would do take anything that will break off that bike, cuz shiet will break. and dont even rock a headlamp intill u learn. but what do i know

 

I thought the f2's had a rev limiter? guess they dont when did they start? f3 or f4 or f4i ...Im just curious, regardless Im glad the f4i has one but only used while doing coasters and ****. You wouldnt really need it other that that would you? Slow down and you'll be fine...

 

who says they don't have a rev limiter
ditch the goofy gauges

Just chop up your gauges. I put together an F2/F3 fighter as one of the 1st bikes I built/sold. I took the gauges and cut out the speedo and used fiberglass and a bit of bondo to build up the sides to make it a solo unit, then just mount it behind the headlight unit. You could do the same with the tach. I didn't cuz the tach was busted... and F2/F3's do have revlimiters

 

My f3 is undergoing the same opration!!! ditch the gauges thats how i'm rocking mine.

 

i live about 15 min from ya so if ya need help w anything just look me up on here or send a pm ill give ya my number ill come out and give ya a hand w your bike

 

Yea I Had An F2 And It Def, Had A Rev Limiter.

 

Oops I thought SuperStunter was implying the bike didnt come with one....my bad.

 

I did the same thing, chopped speedo and some glass and your set.... or you can get one of the digital speedos that are for road bikes off of ebay, but most only go to 120mph or so. good luck

 

Done.

 

yeah, take the speedo off. the bike has a revlimiter weather u know it or not. just rev it up really high and it'll go bap-bap-bap-bap lol. i have a 91 f2, no guages. You really dont need them. 600's are made to turn high rpm's, just shift when you feel like it or at the limiter. you'll be fine. my f2 has 50,000 miles on it and the last 10k were stunted/abused very hard. still runs like a top. oh, and change the oil when it looks like metal flake paint.

 

No you didn't.......hahahahahahahaha:YEAH

 

just use the straps that come with the light

 

Don't you have to put some wires together when you remove the cluster to bypass it and start the bike? My friend told me it's like that on his F4i, but I wanted to do it on my F2, but I don't want to pull the cluster until I know the exact method to bypass it. Any ideas?
