Default Just finished Split Seat conversion on blue/black F4i

I have been waiting to do this for awhile and found some parts at the right price. I love it! I also got a Corbin at a good price but i'm still on the fence about it. I only commute 30 minutes each way so the stocker is ok so far. Pimpbike undertail on the way. Let me know what you think. I'm friggen stoked!

Looks good, did you mod the 06 sub-frame or just paint the 01 sub-frame silver?

Jveach- I just stripped the black paint off with aircraft paint remover. Kind of a pain but I only went just past where you can see.

Looks good, why do people do the split seat? I thought the banana seat was supposed to be more comfortable.

I didn't like how the banana looked. I never did. I makes it look less sporty I guess. Anyway, so far it feels good. I put the Corbin on but it felt like it was crushing my junk so I'm trying it without to see how it goes.

Thanks for the comments!

Wow, kinda jealous! It looks fantastic. Starting to rethink if I will do this to mine.

Looks great. I'm thinking of doing the conversion on my blue '06.
