bodywork, paint, and mods to my 01' f4i...
alright well i got my f4i about 6 months ago and it had been dropped at a low speed. rash on the left side and a huge crack and missing piece in the tail.
it still looked nice though in my opinion but i like to be different and i love for my vehicles to look clean. so my chain takes a crap on me... and i order a new one with a few other parts. while its being shipped i decide to fully strip my bike, fix the damaged plastics, and repaint her.
this is how she looked when i bought her (completely stock besides the high mount micron pipe):

and then i went to the paint shop... i wanted a silver but i also wanted a green flake in it to help tie it in with my chosen accent color ofneon limegreen. i found the perfect color.... (i believe its a chevy color) called silver green metallic. i did the body work myself and built a little make shiftpaint booth in my back yard and painted her. i installed a few new parts: vortex front and rear sprockets (+1,-2), chain, FI cage (painted neon lime green myself), k&n filter, and new plugs.
i then decided the cage wasnt enough and painted the rear rim the same neon lime green and hand polished the lips (the front one will be done the same as well once i get a day or two off).
this is how she turned out (sorry for the "myspace style" pic, but i love how it came out):

new windscreen (tinted double bubble puig)
spiked screen bolts (possibly)
black rear fender/chain cover
flush mount clear front blinkers
hope you like it...
