Ok guys and gals.

Well... particular taste, it's not for me. If you like it, I'd say go for... except for their warnings at the bottom:
  • We sell an unfinished unpainted product, it is your responsibility to sand, finish, and paint the parts you buy from us.
  • The parts we sell are un-drilled; it is your responsibility to drill all of the mounting holes and fit the parts onto your chassis.
  • All of our parts may or may not include the internal mounting tabs. Please consult with our sales representative if you have any questions about mounting things like headlights and dashes.
  • It is the purchasers’ responsibility to mount all of the products they purchase onto their machine. If you need assistance mounting these products call our sales reps for advise.

Ok unfinished is normal. Un-drilled? Errr... Ok, not normal but might mean I get to make them fit right...

"May or mnay not include the internal mounting tabs"??? *schreeeeech* Fistful of front brake. wtf??? Did they bother to cut the parts out of the mold or do they ship them still in it? For $900 + shipping, they could do a helluva better

I was looking at it due to it being unique, never seen one in my area but I want the split headlight look. Figure both the conversion and this will be about the same price if I shop around ebay.

The 01 f4i fairings are the standard right with the 600rr tail from a 05-06 if i do not bend the subframe?

How can you do it accurately? I have friend with a torch, etc... to heat up the metal (think this is how you would do it without a bender).

doesnt seem worth it to me $900 plus shipping it seems cheaper to just cell your f3 and upgrade to and f4, not counting the hours you gonna spend drilling sanding painting wiring and all that

all you gotta do is notch out the top of pipe(cut a v) and pick up on it, its just thin steel. and its just the last foot or so, once you fit the tail you will see what needs to be done. nothing to get excited about at all. just cut the V, bend it up, and reweld where you cut. DONE
