I recently purchased a 01 f4i. The front fairing headlight speedometer bracket are broken. I was thinking about just going streetfighter. anyone have any opinons on this? plus most of the streetfighters i see dont have a speedometer. can u hook one up when its like that or is the bracket too long? Also where is a good place to find the parts i need cheap? or should i buy oem?

 

I debated doing this. It's just changing up the wiring a bit, and not sure how it'd work without a speedo.

If this "bracket" you're referring too is the fairing stay, you can pick a replica up off ebay for like 60-65 bucks. For both pieces too, I might add.

 

it wasnt to bad to put on but it held together with zip ties,the straps that came with it went around the forks and screwd up all the wiring out of place so I had to rig it up like I said w zip ties

and with the speedo just had to rearange some things around

if u have any questions ill help out with any thing

oh yeah and I got this one one ebay for around 50 bucks and to fit the speedo on there I had to take off the crappies wind screen

 

my problem is that I cant figure what to do with all the wires but if you guys have any ideas feel free to share

 

so your saying if i gett a shorter bracket for the speedo it will mount up behind the street fighter headlight? how is it ridding at higher speeds on the highway with no fairing or windscreen? thanks for the pics it looks sweet man.

 

and about the wires u cant run it behind the fork say like up along the frame to the front?

 

You could shorten the wires if you really wanted, or just bundle them and zip tie them to the forks.

As far as the highway, you just kinda deal with the wind. Not many streetfighters I've seen do many highway trips anyways.

 

as far as the wind goes honestly never bothered me cuz its the only bike ive had and its all I know and I did cruise interstates alot 80miles a day home to work...

and I didnt have to get any bracket just used what I had on the bike,but the po did have a diff headlight on there already but it burnt out so thats why I replaced it

 

so from the way it looks you just mounted the light a little lower so the speedometer can sit above it im not sure thats just the way its looking to me? Thanks

 

dgk yeah thats about right and I used hella zip ties.....ugly but worked ...im sure if I spent enough time I couldve did something diff but oh well
