Default F4i 636 Cluster Project Is A Go

Got it today and wasted no time figuring out mounting so as soon as my 636 harness comes in i can begin wiring... here are some prelim pics using apiece of cardboard... ill be replacing that with sheet aluminum... and be adding a toggle switch on both sides of the cluster...



ill be updating this as i go along.... if anyone has any suggestions post em up for sure, as well as opinions...

thx guys

Why would you bother switching to a 636 cluster, and not just stick with the F4i Cluster?

Seems like alot of work for aesthetics.

1) You must not have seen my bike build because most things I have done are asethetics.

https://cbrforum.com/forum/showthrea...errari+project

there is the link

2) Motorcycles like the F4I are about 100% aesthetics, there isnt really anyway to make them "faster" other than exhaust, filter, PCIII and tune. All of which I already have.

3)Ill take this

I think most aftermarket things you get for your bike are asthetic, just saying. I think It would be a kool addition. a way to make your bike different.

ru talking about me personally? Alot of things i get are just for asthetics yes but i beleive motorcycles are pretty much all asthetics, messing with power factors is pretty pointless, hence why everyone just upgrades to bigger bikes....

But as far as performance mods...

Bigger Calipers (Stopping Power)
600rr SA Swap With 1kRR Shock (Improved Handling)
Exhaust (Power Adder)
PCIII (Power Adder)
K&N Intake (Power Adder)
Clean Air Box Mod (Power Adder)
Race Fairings (Weight Reduction)
Pass Seat Removal (Weight Reduction)
Pass Peg Removal (Weight Reduction)


*Radial Master Clinder Soon To Come* (Stopping Power/Feel)

I agree with the other dude as far as not seeing the point....but to each his own. Everything anyone does to their bike is a result of their personal taste and I'm noone to tell anyone what to do to their bike.

Did you look into just wiring your own custom LED's into the F4i's cluster? There's tons of stuff you can do and the white-to-red gradient that you showed on the 636 has nothing to do with the digital gauge...I'm fairly certain with the time you'd spend doing the gauge swap you could figure out a way to mod the F4i gauge to make it look sick.



If you contact bluegauges they can make custom back-plates to have the colors look like whatever you want...or you could probably just mod your own.

Anyway, to each his own....good luck on the 636 gauge swap...I'll look at the wiring diagram tomorrow and try and give you some pointers on the wiring if you still need help.

Hey I am very interested to see how this turns out. But I have one question. Would your odometer reading change do to the new cluster? My bike has about 6100 miles and I wouldnt want a 11000 mile cluster to read that on my bike would it change?
