has anybody ordered the parts listed on the his tutorial? you know where it says for instance, (96300-06020-00) seat bolt(2) does that mean it comes with 2 bolts inside the plastic bag? or do i have to order 2?

 

They are single, order 2

 

thanx sharker... got urs up and running already w/ the new conversion? if so, got pics? i wanna see that bad boy...

 

Check out the before and after pics in the tutorial link above. I am Ken P

 

sharker... ur bike looks f**king clean man!!! i really like it... i hope my bike turns out like urs, i'm currently working on it right now and my bike is in pieces.

 

this is a great walk through! Thank you. I am wondering about how much would this conversion cost?

 

It cost me about $550 out of pocket, and selling of my old parts... about $250 gained from them (so $800 total)

That was all used parts except the seats, painted myself with professional ppg 3 stage paint (base, candy, clear)


I guess its a lot of money, but so isn't everything else on the bike.

If you take your time and shop around you can probably do a little better, that was all put together in about a week with the resources available at the time.

CBRZone was great place for used parts, they took my old parts in trade as well.

 

Thx man, I just recently took it back apart, glass bead blasted the subframe and clear coated it. The metallic Duplicolor I used on the subframe seemed to chip too easily, and it sticks out like a sore thumb with aluminum color showing through.

I will post up a recent pic with my new LED blinkers in the rear and the silver subframe... I am awaiting a LED clear tail light to match my clear LED blinkers

 

maybe i'm not normal, but i would do this tutorial in opposite direction..[>:]

 

You are absolutely normal... Some people bought the F4i for the naner seat.

It depends what you bought your bike for.... You may have been looking at a more Sport tourer type bike, and settled on the F4i as a little sportier than you may have liked, in that case... you would like the naner

Or, you may have been looking for a sport bike like the RR but decided you wanted a little more upright driving position, and settled for the F4i... but really liked the sportier split seat look (such as myself)

I think it is a good looking bike either way, But I like it a little more with the split seat.
