Newbie - basket case F4i, need lots of help
Ok, i bought a 2004 f4i last week from Baton Rouge LA and it got delivered today in NC. It was turned into a street fighter bc its missing the fairings and has the transformer looking aftermarket headlight. the ignition is cut and the wiring is hacked all up. I put jumper cables on it and aint getting anything at the ignition. I checked fuses, but the wiring is so jacked up i think i need a new harness. The bike looks good, the front forks leak bad and its got a crash cage that has took some rash, but the frame is not scratched at all, and it has a huge rear vortex sprocket. If anyone might know some history on this bike, let me know. It has a partial army base sticker on it. the title shows 4300 miles, but the odometer is missing and also the harness it plugs into. i want to convert it back to stock, so i need a bunch of parts and advise too. I will post some pics in a few days when o figure out how this works, im new to forums, thanks

i hope, i bought all the stuff i need to get it running from a guy on another forum,. now its just a waiting game to try and make it run. i bought an ignition and lock set, cluster, headlight, main wire harness, left clipon switches, and some other small stuff... now hopefully soon when i get it running, all i will need is some fairings and a dent free tank.

not much has changed with my bike, i got hosed by a guy on <<<other forum name removed>>>, everything he sent was broken or trashed, omg the parts were bad and half the stuff never showed up at all. he refused to even give a partial refund so i filed a claim with paypal, i had all the emails and text messages he sent claiming the parts were mint, long story short, paypal sided with me and i get to send it all back this week for a full refund. Word of caution to anyone buying used parts, DO NOT SEND MONET AS GIFT! the seller kept pushing me to send payment as a gift, but i told him no deal unless he sent me an invoice, man i am glad i did, because he sent garbage. i did get a full harness of a guy on ebay, it looks to be in great shape and i will try and get it on sooner or later.
