hey all.

well here is my 2000 f4. bought it in may with about 18k on the clock.



well after about two weeks i was riding home from work, got stuck in a flash flood and put it into the back of some ladies car and myself into a concrete wall (shattered collerbone - 10hole metal plate 6 screws).










since i really didnt like the red i decided to repaint/rebuild everything.

heres the process (painting was done using the "50 dollar paint job" <- just google it, i dont feel like posting a link)

sanded

 

primered





painted






finished






7 weeks after the injury bike was finished and iwas back up on it.

hello all.

 

Welcome aboard. Glad you & your bike are both back on the road. ;-) You did a great job.

 

Great job!! I like the white paint job.Makes it stand out from the rest.

 

looks good. white is nice. how do you like the corbin seat

 

do f4i's have tank covers??

 

thanks all. appreciate all the love.

limpy > when i bought the bike it came with the corbin and i've never sat on a stock f4 seat but i enjoy. nice and cushiony. as you can see (or not) during the process of rebuilding i left the seat in my room and my dog decided to use it as a chew toy lol. it has some minor rips in it and the corbin label got ripped off. oh well still does it's job.

nyknick > idk about the f4i's but f4's didnt. nice win tonght against a falling hornets team. they won me some money tonight. haha

 

Wow! I like the paint job. The F4 is a damn sexy bike IMO. I've been slowly restoring mine since my lowside in the mountains. I figured out a paint job I wanted with a pearl orange (Like on the newer 600rr's) and pearl black. But that's WAY out of my means to attempt myself. You a did a damn fine job on yours. Looks good and bet you get plenty of complements on the streets.

I've also have a Corbin seat that's starting to fade on the passenger side b/c the sun is eating away at it.
