Honestly who cares about posting your license plate. If someone was that desparate to find stuff out about the location of your bike, they will find something closer.

Nice bike btw. I have taken some inspiration from it.

Wow! I must say this is one of the cleanest F4i's i've seen. If i were you the only thing i would change is the slip-on to a high mount FTW!

With the new vinyls, it gives the bike a whole new looks altogether. It's one of the very few F4i's I actually like, great job.

About the plate number--I considered whiting it out, but I'm honestly not too worried about it. Perhaps I should be, but I'm just not.

Thanks again for the positive feedback! It's good to hear that others like the work I do!

I'll attempt to put together a how-to for the tail in the next several days.

The more I think about it, the reason I like the looks of your bike so much is that you did to your bike what Honda should have been doing all along. The two tone thing that Honda does with it's different colored upper and lower fairings as well as the tail section sucks! You're bike just looks right!

Okay, so maybe the paranoia about the plate number finally got to me...

Anyway, here are pictures of the helmet I also did. It's a Scorpion in matte black with red stripes/reflective pinstriping done to it. Goes well with the bike, I think. I wanted something different than the tribal/scaled/airbrished/skulls/neon/etc. look that seems to be the only thing avaliable...





Also, here's a picture of the undertail in the dark. You can see how effective the wide angle LED is.

Hey man, just wanted to say you did a sweet job on that and I was wondering if you ever got around to writing up how you did that undertail cleanup?

Looks great! Maybe a stubby slip on with less chrome would be nice too.

So the thing with the stock exhaust... call me names if you'd like, but I have the CA model that has the Catyltic converter built into the exhaust and I really like it. Too many years of driving a VW bug perhaps have created many negative correlations with that unrestricted exhaust odor. While some enjoy smelling of exhaust and their riding clothes smelling of exhaust and their garages smelling like exhast and their girlfriends smelling like exhaust, I'd prefer a little less exhaust. Plus, I'm saving the environment, right? Right?

I'm thinking that maybe I'll integrate the cat into an aftermarket muffler... another day, another day....
