because i like em and its my bike. i cant stand seing a bike with 100 diff stickers on it that the owner doesn't get paid a dime from those companies. to each his own. OHH YEAH i got it runnin again too. it seems i pushed one of the pins in that plug out like 1/4" and it wasn't making contact. i saw it at lunch. i guess it was just to dark for me to notice last night. now its 100% again and looks way better than that rattle can paint.

yeah that ferrari design is nice. i just dont have that kinda time right now.(not that ide steal your ferrari idea) but i did get a laugh the other day when i was looking at the post with your rear sets. we got a guy that rides a duky i mean duccati that is always talkin about having the ferrari of bikes (he just has the horse sticker on his windscreen) and it would be f ing hillarios to see you pull up next to him and just shake your head.

ya i have a friend who paints cars thats going to shoot my fairings.... as for ur friend lol ya it would be.... my bike will be deceiving.... the most disticntive thing about the f4i is either its vents or its headlight and since ill have no visible headlights unless they are turned on people will have to make a double take in order to tell what it is.... bad part is some people will be fooled completely (even though ferrari doesnt make a bike)

u should show ur buddy some pics once i have mine done lol see how it goes
