Noob from NEPA

Hi all!!! After dropping on several occasions using another member's log-in info. I decided to register myself. I've been riding on the street for about 10 years now, but I decided to give it up primarily for the racetrack. I just sold my 2002 Suzuki TL1000R and picked up my track bike project, a 1999 Honda CBR F4. I have about 4-5 months to get it ready. Here are some pics of my previous bike and the project.

And my project:

BTW, this is the first Honda I've ever owned(mainly been a Suzuki and Kawi guy), so any advice on the F4 would be greatly appreciated, especially from those of you who are or have had them set up for the track.

One last thing: how do I post pics without posting links to them? I like being a pic postwhore and I'll be doing a lot of it throughout the winter as my project comes along.

And if my eyes aren't tricking me, that pic is an excellent demonstrator of why sidestands should be removed at the track.

Sorry, not trying to pick on you...this topic has been discussed many times here.

Yes, the side stand almost messed up my day. I will be removing the kickstand on the F4 because it will be strictly for track use.
