So since my incident with my right side fairing flying off on my first highway run, I've decided thatinstead of trying to save up for a new fairing set, I would make the best of my situation. I've removed both side fairings.

Being that I'm a college student, I decided I'm going to use my free time over spring break to convert my F4 into a fighter (I'll be leaving the head and tail plastics on just modding them a bit). I'm going to paint the frame, and sub frame red, and possibly the swingarm if I can manage it.

I'll be posting pics of the bike as is tomorrow, and progress pics. Keep an eye out for em and let me know what you think fellas!

 

nice im looking forward to seeing this little project. I like fighters when they are done correctly.

 

Me too.

 

Sounds good. I love build threads, it should turn out great!

 

I like projects but I will make one recommendation...

Think twice about painting your frame/subframe/swingarm. If not done properly, it will look poor. Really, to do it right, powder-coating is the best option for consistent quality coverage. The oem frame finish is attractive but if you do paint/powercoat, consider black as an option. Have you considered polishing instead of painting?

Nevertheless, good luck w/ your project & hope it goes well!
