Default My winter revamp almost done finally:

I took my 2001 F4i and did a complete makeover on her. Here is a mods list of all I have done so far. Dunlop Sportmax Q2's, Russell ss braided brake lines all around, EBC HH pads all around, New caliper seals, APE manual CCT, CRG clutch/brake levers, cut down stiletto s/o exhaust, PCIII USB w/custom map, New fairings w/ custom paint, woodcraft rearsets, painted white wheels black, pro-tek rear brake reservoir cap, T-rex racing No-cut frame sliders, Race-Tech .90kg/mm springs, Race-Tech gold valves, Race-Tech rebound gold valves and a few items just came in today to finish off the project for the most part. Today had my HRC quick throttle kit, motion pro clutch cable, barnett complete clutch kit w/ springs, repsol 4t oil and new filter come in. Once I get the rest of this stuff put on I'm gonna do a custom set of headers.
Here's before and after shots.

Ditch the no cut frame sliders, I've read they will do more harm than good. Best bet is to get some one's you have to cut, I know for a fact the cut one's work. Bike looks good.

Well the bike sees more track than street riding. Only reason the sliders are there is if the bike tips over. Don't plan on needing them for anything other than that. Hopefully I never will need them. Thanks Chambers.

Yeah, just a heads up, I think someone said they actually messed up their bike just from it getting tipped over w/ no cuts. I'm sure someone will chime in on that who knows more of the details.

Here is the thread where the bike tipped over and the no cuts put a hole in the head. https://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-...orning-118621/

I just looked through that thread. The brackets on my sliders are made differently than those. They dont stick up as far as those that guy had. I guess I'll scoop up some regular sliders anyways just to be on the safe side. I hope I never need any of them anyways.

Got a Kerker full exhaust coming. Just shipped friday so hopefully it will be here and I can put it on before this next weekend. Got a track day saturday. I got a better deal on the full exhaust than I would have doing the custom headers so decided to go that route instead.
