a few weeks ago i got a 05 f4i for $700. i was a wheelie/stunt bike



the issues were battery, pops out of 2nd gear, dented front rim missing upper front fairing, headlight, hacked taillight wiring, bald rear tire, no front brakes and rip in the seat.

i had the front rim repaired at a shop in Philly, ordered a few parts, and painted a lil


heres a current pic


im a first time rider so im not going all out on paint. ive already dropped it, it hit the grass right when the dew hit and the rear slide to the side on me. wasn't bad tho. my leather jacket and my helmet showed no signs of the fall and a few scratches on my muffler and tail fairing.

i do airbrushing so after i feel more comfortable riding ill do a real paint job. heres the last 2 bikes i painted


i have a lot of work i plain to do to her like real frame sliders bike pegs instead of pedals painted on cbr/honda/f4i lettering, a stockish undertail,new chain and lowering links

 

Different very different

 

i painted my swingarm and extended it 6in

 

It was looking good until i saw that swingarm extension with 2 different chain types!! nooooooo! kill it! kill it!!!
That type of ghetto riggin will cause you to lose an ankle when that thing snaps!

You got skills with the airbrush though.

 

I think it will be pretty cool.. please tell me that you will have an upper fairing on it though...the streetfighter reach (stunt bike that was crashed and I cant afford to fix it) look doesnt work for me.. with an upper fairing and the rest the theme will be cool.

 

the upper fairing is in the mail i ordered from a guy in cali in its been taking forever to get here. the chain rig was just to see how many links i need to order.

today i put on lowering links and got may rear out the air

 

the one thing that bothers me about the old f4i is the tail section, not as sharp as the newer RR's.
before you finish everything up you should check out what zimdbw did with his banana seat f4i. it also was done somewhat cheap.

replace that front wheel man, aluminum doesn't like to be bent.
i take it you're extending the swing arm for looks. soo, i'll drop another thread of a sexy f4i
https://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-...-135556/page5/
thats page 5 to show the bike, its about mounting HID projector lamps, possibly do some "angel eyes" thing

edit: ok, ignore all that, just reread that you were a first time rider and not going all out on paint, seeing how you painted those other bikes
i figured i would show you some cool things you could do with your f4i, in the future though i guess. how is the gearbox on it?

heres the strobe light shot lol, i pulled them off already

heres the bike how she sits now upperfairing is at the iowa usps Origin Sort Facility... taking for ever




now its lowered and extended i still have to wire up signals, install chain, buy new battery, new seat, tag mount (im praying i can find a stock one) and a ton of airbrushing

 

guess what came in the mail today......

fitment was ok for being aftermarket.... well considering ive never seen how a stock one fits im no expert.
after a little sanding, adhesion promoter, prime, spare bolts and time heres what i ended up with.




remember im a first time rider so im not going all out on paint, cuz might drop it again. just doin enough to make it a lil different

 

That front fairing made all the difference. :-)

Now, get those turn signals on there. ;-)
