I know its just plastic (except for tank) but what are my limits or should I say the most I can do to detail it. There are lots of scratches on plastics and oxidation on gas tank.

 
Do you have scratches from dropping the bike or is it swirl marks? Motorcycle plastics are done with decals then clear coated so you will be able work out light swirl marks.

Also are those the stock plastics or an ebay kit?
 
its from being dropped I brought it to a mechanic valley motor sports Northampton ma to get the the sprockets changed and the dropped it and denied it.
 
wow what a freeking awesome thorough quid on the bike. the time and detail put into that post is very much appreciated! And thank you very much for finding it for me! It does seem like the markings I have from being dropped are to bad to fix but I never even thought of how good I can make the rest of the bike look. And valley I id look at fairings on ebay in the best it is something I hope to do in the future but definitely don't have the money for at the moment.

I have done a few sets of the ebay fairings and they are thinner than the factory ones but for a full set and to be able to change the look of the bike instantly its a pretty good deal. If you ever do a track day you'll be glad you have an ebay set on if you go down as they're far cheaper to replace. I've had few different color flame versions and a repsol kit that I liked a lot.
 
A) Cool CBR :)
B) 90% (or more, I'm just making that number up) of bikes might be made of plastic, but they are painted just like automotive paint (basecoat/clearcoat). Any detailing procedure that works on a car works on a bike :)
