Unhappy she said she didn't see me

I was cut up by a car a couple of weeks ago causing me to hit it in the side. I am on the mend now but my bike is looking a bit worse for wear.
before-
she said she didn't see me-imag0142.jpg

after-
she said she didn't see me-419399_3478081473330_1310066378_33419093_1552812588_n.jpg

I am not sure if these pics have worked but if not i will try again soon.

At least I now have a good reason to do a F4i front end conversion.

Sorry to hear that. I've found cages have difficulty seeing us what with their important phone or text conversations. Or GPS watching ... or shaving and putting on make up.

Would help everyone on the road if it were mandatory to do a year on a bike.

Good luck with the rebuild!

this is ridiculous. maybe she didnt see you and...maybe she was sorry. but you know what, sorry would not bring you back to live if you were #$%#ing dead... ppl need to take us more seriously...anyway...I am glad you didnt hurt and sorry for the bike (your bike looks exactly like mine)

good luck with the rebuild, I can't wait to see her get back on the road again.

btw, 'cages'? is it what 'they' are called these days? lol

Sort about your bike and glad to hear your ok. Seems like a lot of us are getting hit these days, maybe I just don't pay attention. I'm a big fan of the cyclops eye,its what defines the F4 and these bikes are getting harder to find so I think you should be proud and try to go with the single light.

Unless you plan on tracking it than Honda reports a 6% decrease in wind resistance, not that anyone would notice it.

I am with you. before I got my bike,I used to think why the hell there were so many honda bikes with one burnt out headlamp.

Honestly the cyclops front is by far my favorite. Don't care for the offset look of the dual lights.... just looks funny.

Glad you made it out okay! Good luck with the repairs, personally the F4 is a beautiful bike single light or dual... I really like the F4i front with the banana seat, but also really like the stock look of an F4, either way can't wait to see your beauty after the repairs!

Sorry to hear about this. Glad you are ok.

Now you have a reason to do the split-seat conversion too! ;-)

Are your forks ok?

Forks seem ok from a quick check.
Going to test them properly with a dial guage soon, if they are gone I might replace them with a set of 1000rr forks as I have seen done on here before.
Thanks for all your feedback guys, I might just keep the cyclops light after all.
I will try to keep you all posted with updates and pics as i start the rebuild, just waiting for the insurance money to come through to buy the bulk of the items i need.
