This is a follow up to my previous post, as mentioned before myself and a co-worker managed to get it back up and running with relative ease (dad had a Clymer manual on hand which helped when he gave the bike to me) so this is essentially its first start in 5 years. I'll be cleaning up ALOT of the harness to make it more neat in there but I'm happy to have it up and running again.
A bit of history on the build, My dad is somebody who HAS to build something to keep himself busy. One day way back in 2016 he came across a wrecked 92' 600 and decided that he could get it to run again and better than before. Over the course of several years (working on and off the bike) he combined the 92' CBR 600 F2 chassis with a F3 motor swapped in, the front end (forks, triple tree, brakes, wheel) from a 2007 GSXR 600 and the swingarm from a 1990 VFR750. Along with that while he left the clutch lever and grip is from the CBR alone the right is from a Yamaha he had lying around. To continue to push the build further he custom made the tail section of the bike and included sequential turn signals.
After he completed it around 2021 he test drove it about 5 miles and put it away in a garage he frequented, dismantling it to "save" the bike from others that would probably ride and abuse it. Now here's where I come in. About 3 weeks ago I got curious about the whereabouts of this bike, one thing led to another and I made a combined 1800 mile / 30+ hour trip to go get the bike from him with plans to ride it and enjoy his work that he put in, as he put it himself "it makes me happy to have saved the bike for you, just go over everything and ride safely". As of yesterday I was able to rebuild the bike and get it started up with very minor problems. I'll continue to do my proper checks on the bike as my left hand is recovering from a broken pinky bone (work related) after which I'll take the MSF course and proudly ride the bike!
