It will involve cutting off the subframe, welding on brackets for an f4/F4i subframe, relocating elctronics, potentially re-working your battery box, and maybe modifying your exhaust mount depending on how the subframe lines up.

Not a small job.

My 2008 R1 Tailswap was pretty easy apart from mounting the underseat exhausts straight, lots of linkpipe choices later and it fitted lol Metro exhaust pipe for the win lol

You're missing the point, switching to anything other than the F3 will require significant modification. Whether it's switching subframes, or cutting old brackets and adding new ones to the stocker and bending and re-welding the stock tubes.

Also, you realize that the f4i's banana seat is the same style as our F3?? Sounds like a lot of work to put in for not much change...

He's on about adding the tails from one of the older F4I's that were 2 seperate seats mate.
