that's a really beautiful blue.. I'm a big fan of that shade/color of blue.. extremely bright and vivid.

 

Same here. A close second behind red of course.

OP, if you have ANY intentions of two-uping in the future, leave that seat just the way it is. Trust me. I honestly dont see why all the hate for the banana seat anyway. IMO, it make the F4i "flow" much better than the split.

 

Thanks for the compliments! I knew I wanted an F4i but I found all the other colors pretty boring and uninspired. Blue is the best. Maybe someday I'll get an all-black 600RR


And yeah I don't mind the seat, really I just want to do an undertail fender eliminator.

 

I'd recommend Competition Werks. Albeit the installation instructions were non existent, and requires much intuition and fabrication on your part(read-not plug and play), the fit and finish is impressive. Plus it allows you to use your stock tail light-

 

Where does the seat lock go when you do a fender delete?
That question has been on my mind for a while

 

The stock seat lock is relocated on underneath directly in front of the license plate bracket. Very neat and discrete(the way Honda should have done it in the 1st place, IMO). This FE even utilizes your stock license plate light, just relocates it(see the slit in my pic between the tail light and plate). All and all, the effect is VERY clean and high quality. Added bonus, you keep your stock tail and turn signals as opposed to the chinzy ineffective LEDs that come with the Hotbodies kit.

All that said, in hindsight, I would have either chose the HBs undertail($100 more) and replaced the leds, or chose chose a different FE all togethor. The CW one is not, I repeat NOT plug and play or even bolt-on. My kit required measuring, cutting, drilling additional holes, some minor re-wiring, and hot gluing. When all was finally done, the tail fairing just barely fit around the new fender eliminator assm. stretching and bending it waaay beyond my comfort level. I absolutely dread the day I'll need to remove the tail for any reason.

 

Im sorry but these two statments completely contridict each other. Fit and finish is impressive when it actually fits, not when you have to modify it.

 

No need for your apology since my post was only directed toward the OP . For your sake, I'll clarify just this once- "the final fit and finish is impressive."

 

Great looking bike, looks exactly like mine. Same everything. I agree about putting Competition Werkes Eliminator kit, I installed one on mine and made a world of difference but it's an absolute pain to install and the directions are non-existent.
