F4i to a RR
Now I looked and I didnt see anyone else ask about this so I just started my own...
I am just wondering cause I did notice that someone took a F2 and make it a F4i/RR so with that in mind...
Can we put RR fairings (all of them) on a F4i, If not what can we use, cause I think he used the tail, my MAIN concern was the front around the headlight area, love to change out my headlight cause RR's have a better selection of headlights then F4i's do lol... Just a simple question... Thanks for your inputs...

Anything can be done with enough time and money....
I don't believe any body parts are a direct swap.
As for the tail, I believe you need to swap the subframe as well.
I think the only part that is almost a direct bolt on is the swingarm.
In the end it would probably be easier to sell your bike and buy an RR then it would to try to do the swap.

I agree f4i's are beautiful bikes, i love mine but i really like the looks of all the other honda sport bike swingarms alot more than the f4i swingarm. Im gonna look into this alot more and see how much its gonna run me. By doing the rr swingarm swap i think it would make the f4i one of the best looking bikes out there. (just my opinion lol)

I've done a good bit of "modding" to my 04 to where I jokingly call it my F4iRR. I partly agree with those who say it would be cheaper to just get an RR but for me it wasn't about the money (not because I have a lot of it by any means) but for me it was all about the fun, hobby, and adventure of doing it. I wanted to test my skills and challange myself, plus I already owned my F4i outright and didn't want to lay out the money for a diffrent bike that I would just want to mod anyway.
I did the F4i - 600RR swingarm conversion it was pretty easy, I sourced all my parts from eBay. I did all the work myself and start to finish probably spent in the neighborhood of $150 - $200.
I also did a custom tail swap using a 03-04 600RR race tail you can see my write up on it here https://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-...oughts-137376/ . Again most of my parts were sourced from eBay. I did 100% of the work myself in the garage. Initial cost was probably in the $200 range including all the materials but after selling my old parts (subframe, seat, fairing etc) it was basically free since I made all my money back plus some.
Here is a picture of the final product.
