My F4i makeover :) - Picture Intensive
 

Hello guys!

Like I said in my first post ever, im a lurker. If i need to find out information on something I use the search button. However, this is something I need to share with the forum to get some feedback and suggestions for future mods.

I bought my F4i about a year ago, for $2200. It wasnt in the best of shape and I had a friend ride it home for me. Here's that day:

Also on that SAME day, I made the mistake of letting my father sit on the bike. Less than two hours after arriving at its new home, my new bike had some battle scars :

So i decided to give it a make-over. Ordered a set from motorcyclefairingsrus.com then played the waiting game. It was about 3 weeks for me.

When they arrived the box looked to be in near perfect condition. I had read other reviews saying the box was damaged or looked kinda rough. Not the case for me :)

I opened the box to find that the fairings were wrapped individually and they were very secure.

Also on the reviews I read that very little heat wrap was provided. I was given a fair amount : P

I unwrapped everything to find a FLAWLESS paint job. Honestly, I was blown away. Every fairing had a perfect shine.

My two cents on these fairings is that they are absolutely flawless. Heatshield and tinted windscreen was also included. I bought a fairing bolt kit from bikebolts.com and i was disappointed with those but nothing I bought from steven at motorcyclefairingsrus.com. I would easily buy from them again and recommend them to anyone in the market for a set of fairings.

Nice job. Amazing what a new paint or a new set of plastics can do for a bike.

very nice!

Clean bro! It really makes hella difference. I ordered from the same company, matte black though. My box was a bit beat up, but the fairings were individually wrapped. I guess just was unlucky, but I am going to work with them to see what I can get back from em. But your bike looks great now man!

Looks out-freaking-standing!

Thanks guys! Im hoping to do something with painting the wheels black and putting red reflective tape on the rims!

Wow! That looks awesome! Showroom fresh even.. The red rim stripes will look great!

Looks great. I used to have that color scheme on mine but decided to do something a bit different. I may get a new paint job before too long. I like to switch it up every now and then. Kudos to you sir cuz that bike looks like a brand new machine.

Looks a lot better than it did. Don't let you dad sit on it now. What year is it? I can't tell if it is a 04-06 with a split seat conversion done or a 01-03 with a polished frame. Also why were you disappointed with bikebolts.com. I ordered a kit from them for my old F4i and I was happy with it.

Very nice sir! Do you know if you can order individual pieces from that company? I need just the upper fairings for a swap I'm doing but its hard to fins even a damaged one lately. I would check their site myself but work has the site blocked for some reason .
