Default My 2000 F4

Here she is in all her glory lol. I ordered up some Satin black 60% gloss paint, stubby exhuaust, spike fairing kit, spike grip ends, chrome windscreen, and some black pegs. I'm not into the murdered look so I'm adding some chrome, red and sliver to make it different. Should look good when I'm done... I hope. I plan on doing the wing in red outlined in silver.

Looks like a great canvas to work with. Welcome to the site! While I'm not a fan of the spiked stuff, the rest of the plan sounds pretty solid.. looking forward to seeing your progress.

It's got promise. I'd go the other direction & paint the rest Honda Silver like the tank & tail. Anyway, enjoy you're mods. Hope they go well.

Thanks fellas. I was considering painting the bike pearl white but the big issue I run in to is the second look seat being red and silver. I should have gave her a bath before snapping pics. lol. She's a little dirty from sitting in my parents' barn for the time being... I unfortunately burnt my garage down... yeah haha. I really wasn't looking to buy another bike until I stumbled across this one. 10k miles with new tires and clean title after the kid dumped it... for $2,000. I couldn't pass it up! Greatest of all....NO PAYMENT!

Check & see if the seat cover is a pull-over. You can always take it off & recover your seat w/ black marine vinyl for just a few bucks. All it takes is about 1/2 yard of marine vinyl, some staples, & some elbow grease. Then, sell that seat cover to help pay of other costs. ;-)

Got my exhaust, turn signals, chrome windscreen and pegs in the mail. While I know I'll update with pics. as I get the parts installed. Just waiting on my paint, left fairing and my new garage before I get her in some new color. I also want to polish the lips on the wheels. Anyone have a good way of stripping the paint? On my M109R I used aircraft stripper but it was still a PITA to strip. I was thinking about using a Dremel with a rough sanding disc to begin and go finer as I go before wet sanding with 1500- 2000 and then finally polishing the scratches out. Input?

Got a couple parts installed. I bought the wrong pegs (DOH!) they are cruiser style in front... rears would work though. The tip (yup, from Ebay haha) looks good and sounds great. I am still kind of confused what the other exhaust is from. It's a Two Brothers C-Series Titanium but it was on so the lettering was on the inside? Really looks like it should be on the left side of a bike so I'm not sure what it's from... The chrome windscreen is on just temporary right now until I get the bike painted. I guess I could share a couple pics. Of course the old exhaust is dirty from riding in snow

That exhaust actually looks pretty sweet; its going to be annoyingly loud I bet though.
