Hello everybody, my name is cody i live in lincoln nebraska. Yesterday i purchased my first street bike. I have been riding bikes since like 15 years old. It is a 1999 f4. It has 10,235 miles and i got it for $2350. The only problem that it has is the previous owner laid it down so it needs a new mirror and on the tail there is a decent scratch mark, but i already have the f4i cluster, and tail swap in mind soon. Let me kno what u guys think.

 

looks good.. i traded two ar-15s for my 2002 f4i only problem with mine was bad plugs and bad gas in it from it sitting all winter. You got a pretty good find though. For some reason most street bikes have been laid over -.- lol o well though.. Unless you buy new of course.

 

Hello & welcome to CBRF Cody!!
Great find!! Bike looks in great shape, scratches aside.
WHen U plan on doing the F4I CLUSTER swap,check out the F4 or F4i forums for help,I'm sure there's a thread about that somewhere.Lots of guys to help you out if you get stuck.
Goodluck and enjoy the forum

 

Wow... IMO you stole that bike.. it looks pretty good other than the scratch.. all stock except for the windscreen?

I like the F4i cluster as well, but I don't want to mess with the mileage (but the digital speedo is so nice!)

Welcome!

You made a good deal. Sure, its got some battle-scars but you'll most likely be adding a few of your own. ;-) I almost bought the red when I got my F4 but ended up w/ Sunrise Yellow.

I did the split-seat conversion on my F4. When you get to that, feel free to ask me for help, if you need it. I've got a tutorial of sorts in my photo gallery on the process. There's pics w/ descriptions.

Welcome aboard.

 

Congrats on the new bike purchase! Its a nice lookin' bike you got at a good price. There's tons of info on the split seat conversion and gauges you'll be fine.

 

Thanks guys!!

Everything is stock on the bike except for the widescreen. I am planning on getting the two brothers full exhaust for it also.

How long do you think that it would take me to do the guage and seat swap?

Also when i do the guage swap do i need to buy new forks?

 

Nice bike. I was gonna do the F4i conversion but I decided to improve the way the F4 looks as an F4. The F4i conversion does look awesome. But it reminds of those Impala/caprices and the Marauder/ Crown Vic. But go for it. Its sure does look waaaaaay better !!

 

I did the split-seat conversion over a weekend. Basically did the teardown & install on Sat, & finishing touches on Sun. It was very straight forward.

No, you don't need new forks.
