So, I bought my 2001 CBR F4i with about 14,XXX miles on the ODO back on 9/14/09. These are the mods/improvements since the purchase. The original purchase price was $2,330. Interesting price I know with the $30 in there, but I was negotiating it down from $3,000! ENJOY MY POST!!!

Honda Cam Chain Tensioner - $74.81 Aurora, CO Cam Chain Tensioner Install - $80.11 TOTAL - $154.92

Definitely worth it as my bike idles much quieter now. I hated hearing that metal on metal sound. Well worth $154.92 in parts and labor!!!

Install time - 20 minutes. Paint time 30 minutes. I should have known better by the pics as the bottom portion of the screen is clear. I had to paint it black so it would cover all of the wiring in the upper fairing.

Driver's and Passenger's vinyl seat covers - $32.00 total including shipping from eBay:
Beck Cronis is the Seller's Name - Custom Seat Creations
Install time - 2 hours. Definitely took some time, but I could do it in an hour now I think. Removal of old vinyl was easy, but all the stapling to make sure it was perfect was a pain! It was worth it though! Staple gun with staples cost me $16.80.

LED Mirrors - $42.90 total including shipping from eBay:

I hope this helps some people out there with their projects. Feel free to contact me for any help you may need with your mods!

Ride smart!!!

 

Looks great roller....LUV the blinker mirrors!

 

Nice bike.

Custom seat creations has a nice product. I bought a cover for my f3 when I had it because it was ripped and was not disappointed.

 

Should clean up the wire connected to the signals in the mirrors. There are slits in the bottom of the mount where the mirror stalk bolts in. I threaded the wires through the slit and drilled a small hole, in the middle of the existing holes, and threaded the wire through that. Cleans up the look alot since you dont have that wire just dangling there.

 

Here is an exact copy of the invoice from Pipe City for the M4 exhaust system. I hope this helps!

your ever going to paint the tank or just leave it siver?

 

the only thing that would drive me nuts is the open steering stem... aside from that it is great.. I actually like the tank silver.. breaks it up and the black wings tie it in.

OK...
So I have decided to leave my tank silver.
I am going to re-wire my mirrors though as TEKO1020 mentioned. Great advice thanks!
I am going powder coat my rearsets black as Dan5 has done. Thanks again for the purchase of the Devil exhaust!
I am going to use some CF vinyl I bought from eBay and experiment wrapping the air ducts with it to see how it looks.
I am going to wrap my cheap a** China brake reservoir cover with CF vinyl as I noticed yesterday the current CF coating is flaking off!!!
Turbulenz - I will definitely find something to cover up the open steering stem!!!

Thanks everyone for your comments. More work to do...As always! I love modifying things. Cars included!!!

 

could be wrong man but i dont see anyway that you can wrap ur duct covers.. to many bends involved... but if u think u can more power to ya... bikes lookin sharp keep it up

 

im looking at getting that m4 high mount exhaust too. but i was wondering if by any chance u have a video of ur bike with it running there only a couple good youtube vids with it on a f4i .
