I remember watching this series and being instilled with confidence. So I started to "build" an 03 Honda F4i I got for $600 non running. A factory fuel pump from a Ford F150 Harley Davidson(plugged right in, just had to modify the filter for pick up)later and it ran and rode great. Ebay fairings, bolt kit, tires, fluids, gaskets, covers, levers, grips...every little bit later. $1800 for a sweet looking F4i. Sold it for $3500 and bought a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S.

I would like to hear what you think of how it rides...power, handling and ergonomics.

Nice job. Even including the fairings you are into it for ~$1500. $2500 bike all day. Feed the beast.

Killer series my dude! You really brought her back to life. I love it.

Loved this series. One of the very best series I have watched on KZread during the whole of 2019. Best of all you saved another one for the future and all at a fantastic price. RESPECT! 👍✌️👍🏍

brother, thats actually sick. ive been looking at the series from the beggining and its been a wild ride, i got my first bike now just month ago, and im currently taking driving lessons to get my drivers lisence, ur videos on honda's has really inspired me to get a honda for myself, so thats what i did. very nice bike and nice vids:D

Love how the bike turned out. Great job. 🤙 Monster Fairings look amazing.

Looks really great man!! I've bought several older bikes for next to nothing and fixed them up and the money can add up at an astonishing rate. Good job!

It looks good for a 1000 dollar bike, especially the fairings

Always glad to see a semi-resto project like this. Newer isnt always better. Love the series. Also, glad you brought back the outro. I still need that song tho. ☺️

Good job man, I'm redoing my 2nd 1985 GPZ 900R. It's always a lot of work restoring these abused bikes, but boy aint it rewarding when it all comes together. Yer CBR looks real good! Scott in Detroit

Glad it's completed I actually went through the journey with you Brother . Respects.

Cheers to you HeroRR. You brought one back in fine form.

Very similar story with mine. Paid $1,500 for an '02 954rr with 28,000 mi. from someone who thought it had too many issues to deal with. Replaced steering stem bearings, chain and sprockets, deleted the exhaust flapper and replaced the ostrich skin seat with an OEM from ebay. All-in was $1,850. Rode it for 9 months and made a straight trade for an '03 RC-51, which was a bucket-list bike for me.

First of all, great work on recovering the bike. I share the same opinion on the chrome. An older bike looks way better in its original color scheme and parts. Thank you for the videos!

That was such an amazing find, and you did a good job bringing her back to life, thank you!!

I just discovered your videos man...me like it a lot...One thing I would love to see it before and after running videos.

That's insane you fixed this up to what it is for so little. Mad props

Nice job in the end. The fairings make it look like a new bike.

You've done an amazing job mate, looks absolutely fantastic. Happen to have same model myself, purely a coincidence.

Love this series...Great job...Keep up the good work...

Great job...love the video sad it's come to an end... I have owned my CBR1000 FL for 28 years and as you know it was the forerunner to the Black bird but there's no content of how good the bike is and how it became the CBR xx1100 your definitely the guy for the job...

I never thought I would say this but I really dig the chrome! Looks really awesome and unique

Dang that's a good deal, good enough to deal with that chrome lol. I got a non-running zx636 2005 and got it running to find out it had a bad motor so you definitely have better luck then me on these builds.

You did a excellent job on the Fireblade ! A hat tip to you !!

Awesome walk around you really brought that bike back to life from a lot of people point of view it would have been scrap metal or part out I would have brought it back to life as well nothing runs like a Honda

Definitely, a great job! Not only because of the bike specifically but all the little things that no one sees but that gives you peace of mind. I'm also that kind of guy. Now the question: what's gonna be the next project?

Nice job. I think it looks great. I even like the good parts of the chrome.

Hey bro I just wanted to say that I love your videos. Quite simple yet elegant. I love all ur bikes especially the rc51. I was hoping that you'd do a detailed review of it. Love from Pakistan. Peace!!!

That crazy! Under a grand 😱 that’s a sweet bike though, I remember looking at them when they were new 👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed all the videos in this series.......👍

Amazing turn around 👍

Love the bike, love the videos, keep up the good work! I'd love to see more about the bike!

Nice job man. I’ve got a blue and black 954 in mint condition. Great bikes 😀

You did a great job on the bike.. love it.

I've just brought one of these and am wondering where to start lol. Its not far off complete tbf, just needs new fairings really. Can't wait till the summer to ride it!

I've been looking for one to round out the stable.

It's actually sad that you had to rescue that bike and restore it yourself. That's an eye-wateringly low price for bringing a bike back to life without cheaping out! Of course you got the fairings for a review, but still...if you had to buy them, you still would've gotten a running 954RR for less than $2000. Amazing! 🥳 God bless!🙏

Great bike! Well done.

Congratulations looks tight 🤘

I used to have a 954, I loved it! It’s a Great bike.

Awesome. Had an 04 f4i I bought wrecked with title for $500 and all it would up needing was a stator cover ($90) and a headlight ($100) my brother had a friend that did fiberglass work and fixed the front cowl and I bondo'd the rest of the plastics. Rattle canned the plastics and had less than $750 in it

It is a nice honest bike and a total bargain enjoy the heck out of it 👍

She looks great good job

Preciosa amigo la dejaste increíble 🤜🤛🏻

Great work

Very cool Brother!!!!! Inspiring!!!!!!

Bro now the chrome looks fucking SICK!!!!!!

DONT USE DIESEL OIL IN YOUR BIKES ANYMORE They recently removed the ingredients that helped maintain wet clutches in motorcycles for emissions purposes. One of the main ones is zinc if I remember correctly. USE MOTORCYCLE OIL, DONT CHEAP OUT.

@bad001bd

Late, but this is complete bullshit. Motorcycle specific oil (or really any oil these days) won't have much zinc (or phosphorus) because those elements are hard on catalytic converters. Nothing in the JASO specs require a minimum of zinc, in fact, they have a limit on zinc specified.

Those fairing look nice

It turned out to be real good. Wish I could buy it off you.

Nice work! That screen would look OK if the top fairing was red but yeah, because it's black the smoked screen makes the front look huge.

Love the Fireblade 954.

My windscreen/windshield I painted/plastidipped on the underside so it kept the top in excellent condition.

For the money you have in it that is pretty good. Free fairings and existing good tires helped a whole lot. To go much further dechroming it would put you upside down financially but it seems a worthy project for a nice bike like that.

I would for someone to start a series on saving these classis story telling of the history on them .then going and finding one on a budget to bring up to spec like wheeler and dealers for 2 wheels it be awesome am on 2 projects right now 94 FZR1000 and a 2003ZX7R I might post some vids but i dont know how to edit is the problem

It looks great well done doing it for that money brill job

now that is cost efficient :D such a nice bike! I will get one, too :)

hi man how is the fuel cut and slow speed riding?

Awesome Great work 👍👏 I've had a 2007 600RR just like your model I had to sell now I want to go back I'm in doubt 600 or 954? what are your impressions? Does the 954 really feel like the 600's feel in weight and handling with more power? I also like the F4i but since I've had RR for a while, I wanted to experience the feel of 954 it's very seductive I count on your help hug

well worth it. looks real good ! i'm in $700 on this GPZ and still needs paint !

I can see. Deeez nuts in that swing arm..... Nice work sir.

If I wasn't looking for a more lower cc bike I would definitely want something like that since I'm looking to get my first bike

Is there gonna be a ride video of it?

Now ride and review please. I’m looking at one on Craigslist

Even if you would have paid for the fairings still a monster deal and great result.

Did you try sandblasting the chrome? Maybe you said you did in a previous episode and I missed it, but Harbor Freight has some pretty cheap blasting cabinets or there's probably a shop nearby that could do it for you. Having it sandblasted is also perfect paint prep too so win win remove chrome and be ready for paint.

Awesome job , looks great . Denso plugs are superior to NGK . just my 2 cents

Very nice looking bike, how does it ride?

Hero, where did you find the block-off plates?

Can u do a ride video. I am with u on the chrome. I would blast them and powder coat them only if you are going to keep it. U could make some money on it for sure.

Where did you order the additional fairing bolt kit from?

Heavy diesel oil for the bike 🤣🤣🤣 and $19.99 mate u made ma day, cant stop laughin

Dude nice job! Are you going to flip it?

Personally I would check the tire manufacture date on the sidewall. I know you said they were put on in 15-16 but if they sat in a dealer for a year or two before being put on the bike they could be 5-6+ years old. Motorcycle tires are pron to get hard as they age (especially for softer sport bike tires) and that means reduced grip. I trust you know what you're doing but tires are the last thing I'm willing to skimp on. Great job on the build, cheers!

4:12 way to you use heavy diesel engine oil when oem calls for 10/40 moto oil?

LoL I wish Monster Fairings could send me a set for my GSXR. I have some aftermarket stickers on and a scratch here and there. One day when I'm older and uglier I guess🤣the bike looks great HeroRR, sad about the chrome but that's it. When are we getting a first ride video on the old girl??

There’s gonna be a test ride video right?

That's a fire ass bike bro. Is it Just me or do the handlebars look like they are pretty high like the f4i?

Bro you know how to get rid of the vacuum sound?

DUDE! That's real damn cheap! You are great at this, keep it up. I got really into this build. Would love to see another one at some point! Subscribed at the 1st chapter. Enjoy the cheap beast!

I am restoring a 954 right now, what spray paint did you use?

how bad does the cam chain rattle, and what is the compression?????/
