Honda CBR600 F3 Fairings (1997-1998)

About the Honda CBR600 F3 (1997-1998)

The Honda CBR600 F3 (1997-1998) is the final evolution of Honda’s beloved 600cc F-series sport bike, the last of the rounded, friendly middleweights before the F4 arrived with sleeker styling. It kept the proven engine and added detail refinements that kept the bike competitive and comfortable.

These late F3 years are prized as approachable, durable sport bikes that served countless riders as a first big bike and a budget track toy, and they remain popular for exactly that today. Compared with the earlier F3, the 1997-1998 bike carried small updates while keeping the classic look. For owners, a fresh fairing set revives a tidy late-1990s body style that dealer parts can no longer supply economically.

Popular CBR600 F3 (1997-1998) Styles & Liveries

The signature factory scheme for the late F3 is Honda’s tricolor of red, white, and blue, the livery owners restore most because it defines the CBR identity of the era. All-black and brighter race-style finishes are the other staples.

Custom work on the late F3 tends toward retro race replicas and matte-black, leaning into the bike’s 1990s character. The rounded panels paint cleanly, so browse the finishes and pick a look that fits a classic middleweight you ride on the road or track.

What’s Included in the Kit

A full 1997-1998 F3 fairing kit includes the upper fairing and nose, both side panels, the lower belly pan, the tail section, and the front fender. These pieces make up the complete shell and shield the engine and radiator beneath.

Some options also bundle a windscreen and tank cover, and every order ships with a free matched bolt kit, windscreen, and heat shield. Check the product description for the exact list, as ready-made and custom options can differ slightly.

Painted vs Unpainted

For a classic sport bike, unpainted panels suit owners doing a period-correct restore or a custom retro race livery, where matching the original 1990s colors or a bespoke scheme is the aim.

Riders who want stock looks fast go for the painted ready-made tricolor and solid finishes. F3 owners restoring the bike usually want the iconic factory colors, so choose a faithful restore or a custom repaint based on your intended use.

Fitment & Installation

These fairings are molded to the 1997-1998 F3 body with pre-drilled holes for the original mounting points, so they replace the stock panels directly. As a late F3, confirm you have this body rather than an early F3 or the later F4.

Installation is roughly a half-day to a day for a careful owner with basic tools, since older panels need careful alignment. Dry-fit and check everything lines up before final tightening, which helps avoid stress on the aging mounting points.
