Default Cosmetic mods for the F3?

Ok, I don't really like the headlight (compared to the F4i, hate the cyclops look), or the mirrors, or the rear fender. What can I do about those?

ya i agree with ya about the headlight but i dont think theres much we can do with that. i took the rubber condoms off my mirrors and painted the stens black, looks way better. i also cut the fender off and used an intergrator for the signals. http://www.bikepics.com/members/grwilson6/96cbr600/

You can repaint the whole bike and make it look how you want. I did[8D]As for the headlights, I bought a vinyl decal made for the F3's that makes the single headlight look double. then I painted a custom design on the front (sides of the headlight) that made it flow really well and kind lok like dual headlights. I will post pics tomorrow of my bike.

I got pig-spotter mirrors off ebay, they are shaped like cylinders and hug the hug pretty well, search ebay for pig-spotting mirrors....

hey Dave, can you post up some pics of the pig spotters mounted? Also, i've heard they don't function that well. I do the like the look of the mirrors without the rubber condom boots whatever you call em. I think i'm gonna pull mine off. Personally, i think those things date the bikes. Good idea!! I know what my next mod is.

I'm repainting the whole bike, and working with a couple different mods. I'll post pics as I get 'em done.

I need to take some pictures still, but your right- the functionality of the mirrors is horrible.. U almost have to learn how to use them. Tmirror part is the size of a half dollar and I personally cant see behind me because of my big arms, but I can kinda see to the sides but not near as good of visability as the stock mirrors! But hey they look good though! I'll have pics up soon!
