Default my f4i story

Last winter i picked up a 02 f4i with just under 3k on it and a clean title for 3500 CND. Other that a few cracks and some rash on the fairings the bike was mint.
I posted links to pix in case they dont work (sorry about the quality was taken by a phone)

Then i decided to paint it cause i couldnt stand the yellow. so a friend of mine hooked me up with some free paint, which didnt turn out the way i wanted to but still was better thanyellow. ----Sorry to all yellow and black f4i owners i just hate that scheme
I also added a MXD stunt cage, round bar, 60t sprocket
Thats the only pic i got in the beginning of summer

This past winter i decided to change a few things
got another mxd cage, added a hand brake johnnyp stay, some clipons, braided lines all around, brembo 16/18 for hb and 19/20 for front
clean air, idle mod and a bunch of little things

Then a few weeks ago i came across a complete 929 front end for 400 bucksthe only thing it was missing was a right clip on and all controls
The funny thing about this swap is i parted out my f4i front end and got more money for it than i payed for the 929. I did invest an additional 200 for the hohey triple but that doesnt count cause that piece is so pimp
And also added OMR subcage, which may i add is also so pimp
here are the pixof the bike as it sits now complete with zipties and all
Last session i cracked my headlight and did some repairs with some stiching

Very nice paint scheme. I know nothing about stunting, but having a 60t rear sprocket must make that font end fly off the ground lol
