the F2 was only available in the UK (possibly the far east as well, not sure), it was mostly the same except for the bodywork, had a full fairing that made it...
The F2's had slightly lower handle bars (at least the later ones) and I believe one tooth taller gearing to take advantage of the better aerodynamics. Sold in...

You are most helpful! You rock! :) What is in this kit you sell? Why would I want to squeeze a 120/60/17 tire on vs. just getting one that fits? Thanks so...

Never mind. I read back through my original thread (on the new group only) and Todd perfectly stated what to do in his directions... but when I read them...
