Sort of new to bikes, had an SV650 before I joined the military. Went and bought this bike and figured I'd start a thread to keep track of the work I do to it and get opinions and ideas from everyone.

A few details:
2002 Honda CBR600F4i
954 Front fork swap with all components (NSN brakes, controls, ect.)
HotBody's Undertail with LEDs
Black Metallic paint (New Ford Mustangs come with it)
Custom Candy blue powdercoated frame
Custom painted tank (PO ordered it online painted like it is, but never got the chance to PTM the black, will be repainted most likely next summer)
Delkevic exhaust
Slightly shaved seat

And literally a whole truck load of extra parts that need to go on or have come off

Plans:
Repaint tank to match black plastics, possibly POW*MIA logo or something airbrushed
Swap headlights to Ducati half fairing light setup or something different, PTM black or blue
Drop it ~1-2" for a more comfortable ride, or til I get used to the bike at least
Hide wiring and tubing better
Custom make cowl to cover front of tank/up to trees

Let me know what you think! Opinions and questions all welcome!

The first time I've used the hitch since I've bought the truck























Just to show the color and metallic

 

Black powder coated dogbones showed up today and was quick to bolt them on. Came with a stock, -1", and -3" drop, and I went with the 1 for now, as the 3" drop seemed too drastic and the tire was dang close to my plate in the rear anyways. And it IS possible to change your links and dogbones by yourself, no need for a friend! It would have been nice to have though.







Now I gotta do something with the kickstand, it stands almost straight up now.

 

Cut ~1" off the kickstand and welded on a bigger foot for it, plan to reshape it soon. Just needed to get it leaning again.







Now I plan on just taking everything off and giving it a good scrub and repaint if its black or rusted. Going to give the headers a nice heat treated black spray hopefully. They look out of place with the rest.

 

And I was looking to replace my stator cover since it is scuffed up, with this or similar black one.

Just another quick picture I grabbed after I loaded up my gear on it. Still rode like a dream, didn't even feel it back there.



PreLoad is still set to 5 and can't get it to crank down to 2 or so.

And the new gear I picked up. Can't beat the price of FREE for a MotoGP Kangaroo leather jacket and new in box helmet.

 

Looking into the Polisport Headlights like Boxdgm put onto his F1.

Opinions?

Not bad looking. Will have horrible output, though.

 

I picked this Moose Racing light up for 20$. Has two 55w bulbs and a running light. Pretty bright actually. Going to trim down the top though since its already cut.




Here is what it looked like



But it was cut down

 

I didn't think I'd be saying this after reading it, but I like the blue frame. Nice chevy sport btw.

 

I like it because its different than everything else. You don't see it everyday.
