This motorcycle has few parts in common with the -F model, though it shares the same engine (with different casings). It sports a lateral aluminum frame, different fairing (designed to make it look sportier), larger (17") wheels, an adjustable rear shock absorber, adjustable brake and clutch levers, a smaller drive sprocket, computer-controlled timing advance, and a revised electrical system.
And thanks for the pics of your fiberglass DYI. I was planning on using the foam block method with some felt. It should be interesting. The only fiberglass work I've done before was patching a boat :P
This should be pretty rewarding
Fiberglass is good stuff. You can REALLY half ass it and it mearly makes a little more sanding and all later Making REAL molds for CF is a PITA though as it has to be prefect It looks nice in the end, but takes forrrrrever!

Just make sure you get cloth style fiberglass and not the matte style (that you'd use to patch a boat ). I look forward to your pics!
