Forget the spring
I decided I couldn't wait till the spring to buy my 2 bros cf slip on and my comp wks fender eliminator kit for my 06 cbr f4i. I ordered it from parts 411 the slip on cost $400 and the fender eliminator cost $105 and I also bought a battery tender for $50. The day the 2 bros came in I felt like a little kid opening it up. An early x-mas gift. It reminded me of opening back in the day one of the Lions from Voltron. I was so happy it took like 9 days to come.
Anyway, the slip on was easy to install except 4 when I had to take the 02 sensor eliminator off and pull the wire and stretch it a little bit 2 make it fit. I was a little nervous I was going to rip the wire out. No problem there because no light has come on and no air leaks. The slip on sounds great I love it. I also installed the comp wrks fender eliminator kit, I know I read on here how it took someone 5 hours. It took me like twice that amount of time but who cares I was in garage while it was raining. I took it out when I finished it the next day. While riding the metal kit came out a little bit so my licence plate was hangin a little bit. I know how I messed up because I didn't install the left and right bracket. It looks like I will be spending a little more time working on it.
Still, it felt good to do it by myself rather than pay the honda dealer who knows how much? I live in NYC and I am still riding and plan on riding through the winter no winterizing for me. Its funny when people see you riding on a cold day or night they look at you like your crazy. Uhh, yes I am!

RE: Forget the spring
Chyl...I got the same bike like u. I was going to get the same micron slip on u have. I think it looks the best. What else are you going to do to your bike? I would like to get the blue stripes on the tires and maybe intergrated turn signals in the front, and a targa solo seat. I don't want to go to crazy, but I see our bike on this forum and there is a lot of things you can add on.

RE: Forget the spring
21...I wanted to clean up that nasty *** "air brake" and put on a new fart can for sexy/sound reasons. I have decided to clean up the brake and turn signals (finally decided that since nobody can see me anyway, I will make them more pleasing to the eye). After that, my choices are mostly practical. I am upgrading my front brake to a braided line, and am considering a Power Commander. Asfar as the seat cowl goes, I am not a fan of the Targa look, but it is your choice. You could always do a seat conversion if you are feeling "froggy". I believe there is a good write up done by EPNF4i...and you could always PM himif you can't find it...he is a good egg, and I am sure he would be glad to help.

RE: Forget the spring
Jaynd, I live in NYC and the original owner lived here as well and my bike is a Cali bike as well go figure. My bike was bone stock as well. I still didn't know the 02 sensor was installed in the Cali bikes back then. I wonder how far it goes back? What ever I just hear that it makes the bike run lean but it doesn't effect performance. I could have gotten a 02 sensor eliminator but what for my bike runs good and thats all that matters!
