Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new bike sometime and an F4I is on the shortlist. I've been kind of wondering though, would it be possible to fit the front fairings + headlight from an older F4 onto an F4I, without too much modification? I like the look of the older ones better. While I know they're similar bikes, I've never had one apart to check for myself.

 

Sure, you can do a conversion but typically, F4 owners covert to F4i - not the other way around. ;-)

Being that F4 parts are getting harder to get these days, I'd highly recommend that you stick w/ the F4i oem setup. There are many more avail parts for the F4i than F4 out there.

Nevertheless, if you'd want to covert it, you'd have to have the '99-00 F4 front fairing stay, front fairing, headlight assembly, windscreen, etc. Assuming you'd want to retain the F4i's digital gauges, you'd have to adapt/fabricate a way to attach them to the F4's fairing stay. Then of course, the air duct covers would have to be adapted as well.

 

Funny enough, i'm doing the exact opposite of you so My F4 parts are up for grabs.

EDIT; I cannot send a PM to you yet, let me know if you want any pics. They aren't brand new but they aren't in too bad of shape.

 

Nah, I don't even have an F4I, nor do I know if I'm going to have one. It's on the shortlist, but I haven't made up my mind yet. No point in buying parts until I know I'm getting one, or one of the few other bikes I'm looking at. Thanks for the offer though, and thanks, gotcbr, for the info.

 

Ok no worries, should you get an F4i by all means hit me up i'll prob still have the parts kicking around my shop
