Underneath the carbs behind the engine. White knob.

First bike? If so, you should probably learn to ride it first before you go trying to make it faster.

There aren't any, really. MAWonline.com has some stuff. Dennis Kirk has some stuff. And by stuff, I mean stuff that you can make work. Not many things are made directly for the F.

I only have one question...  What color is it?

Welcome!

Congrats on your new bike (excellent choice), and welcome! 

drop one tooth on front sprocket to make it accelerate faster. but wait till you have more experience...
