Default My 97F3 w/ New plastics and a perty new paint job!

Here is my 97 F3. I put on some f4i sides and upper fairings along with a 600rr tail section. I think it turned out great. We painted it Lightning Yellow and painted the wheels Black.

That thing looks really good. I think it turned out great, good job.
The tail actually looks really clean with the f4i fairings.

Looks nice. My F1 is painted the same color. Or atleast as close as it gets. Very good job.

looks awesome but the front seems really high. I lowered mine and 1in or so and it helped with the turn in and made the bike look more aggressive.

i agree but i was worried about lowering the front any since the rear is already considerably higher from the FOX shock. It handles great !!!! turn in feels effortless and its very stable in turns. kinda heavy to flick back but still great. I might try lowering the front a little and see how it feels. not like im hitting any track days or anything so it probably wont affect much on the street

i had the front and sides mounted in about an hour. the tail was the hard part. one i got all the maounts for the rear seat i had to bend some metal to make brackets etc to mount to my subframe. after that it all kind of fell in place. although there were many hours of just staring at it all and tweaking a little here and there to make it all line up perfect.
