Not an rr.. both f4i... one has split seat.. one has banana. Brain fart. Identical parts. Both what you are looking for.

That is the same style link I have for my f2. Mine is a protek. The one inch drop holes (inner) are 4 3/4 inches apart and the three inch holes (outer) are 5 3/4 inches apart center to center. The stock one on my f2 was 3 3/4 center to center. I know they are different bikes, but the aftermarket link fits both bikes. And the warning says for both bikes not to use the 3 inch drop hole or the shock will hit yadda yadda, so it would stand to reason that the stock links are the same. If thats the case, an f2 link could be had on ebay for cheap if you can't get one here. Also remember, I dont know how much your bike is lowered, but if your side stand is cut, you will end up having to replace it. The previous owner of my bike lowered it and cut the stand, then raised it back to stock a rigged up way. I had to literally use a brick under the stand to keep the bike from leaning over too far until I replaced it.

GTCole's advice sounds good. Find one on here or ebay, do the swap and then sell yours. A little more involved but minimizes down time.
