So, Back in late October 2011, I picked up my 2003 cbr600 F4I project bike for $600. Didn't run, and barely looked like a bike. Only 6 months later, and shes almost complete. Just missing a front fender (been way to freaking windy and raining to paint it). Some befor and after pics. Next im doing the rims.

Debaiting Green or White rims.


Braided steel brake lines (front and rear)
K&N air filter
Jardine Slipon
Yamaha r1 master)
gauge lights
leds
And more to come... If i dont go back to another RC51




Befor. Thats the first hour in my portch.

The next day


Almost after.

 

Looking good! Green wheels for sure.

 

Thats what im thinking. its pearl white paint with green leds, so im thinking green rims with polished lip and clear leds going down the swing arm and fork tubes would set it off NICE!

 

Looking good. How much money have you put into it?

 

no one will belive this but here
Bike its self - $600
fairings on ebay - $300
Fairings being painted Pearl White - Free - advertising for the guy.
battery - $120
jardine exhaust i had laying around - Free
Headlight i got for free, buddy was parting his f4i and he owed me
Registration and tag $86 and change
chain and sprocket kit on ebay $98 and change
and $200 in miscellaneous small parts (r1 master, brake lines, air filter, gsxr seat padding, seat vynal, and gauge mod light)


So Less than $1500 total, and in a week or 2 when the fender is done, Im gonna sell/trade it.

 

If your plan is to sell it, don't paint the wheels. It should sell easier that way.

I wouldn't do polished lip, either, but that's just my taste.

I think you should sell it to me for $1,600 :-p I could use another white F4i.

 

LoL, when it was spray painted and had cracks in the plastic i had offers for $2900, Now that it looks bad ****ing ***, im adking $4000 obo, or trade for a cbr 954, rc51, or 1000rr

 

Keep it & get the RC51! ;-)

You've done a nice job. Its lookin' good.

 

Thanks. But i miss my rc51 so dam much.
Took that pic 3rd day i had her down at green key beach in new port richey fl.

Full arrow exhaust, sargent seat, rim tape, carbon fiber front fender and head guards, so seat, dubble windscreen, and braided steel lines.

 

Very nice! I've got a pic or two of my RC51 on here somewhere. I know how you feel about your RC. I wouldn't want to be w/o mine either.
