I had to have a digital gauge but I didnt want to do an upper fairing or fairing stay swap. So heres what I did.
Items needed
F4i gauge
Hose clamps
Drill
Drill bits
Screws
and Duh a F4 !!!! (sorry for the pic resolution its from my iPhone )


Now what I did was drill a hole in the 2 hose clamps.


Completely unscrewed the clamps and screw them to the Gauge. Then just put the clamp back together going around the lil thing and tighten it up. Voila all done !!!




With fairing and shield on


Yes it is extremely sturdy. I tried moving it bcuz it was crooked the first time and the SOB would not move not even a bit !!!!

This just to solve the mounting problem. Wiring it isn't a problem simply follow the schematic

 

is it a issus when you rev to redline, because there is a difference in redline between the f4 and f4i, do you just have to shift early?

 

You do know the bike redline doesn't change just bcuz of a gauge swap ? What issues r u having ?

 

im not having any issues, i havnt done the swap yet, ya i know the bikes redline doesnt change, was just asking if its a pain when the bike redlines before it reaches the redline marked on the tac, or can you just use red sharpie and fix that? JK lmao

 

very cool! Good idea about the mounting.. what did you do with the gauge bezel/surrounding plastics?

 

Thanx. Bike didnt have those plastics when I got it !!

 

Was this very hard to do?
How long did it take you to swap the guages?

I am interested in doing the guage swap, but i really don't want to get a new whole front end from the f4i.

How bad was the wiring from the f4i to the f4 wires?

 

No it wasnt hard to do. I dont know how long it took but I'm sure it wasnt over an hour.

I didnt wanna do the F4i swap either so I "made it work".

The wiring was easy. People say the colors just match up but some of the colors are slightly off. I just use the F4 and the F4i schematics. That made it so easy. Instead of trying to match up similar colors I matched up what the wires was for and said FV<k matching the colors. It was all pretty easy !!!!!!
