that looks sweet. Ever think of adding gold wing shadows? Should pop out that gold more without being overpowering.

Stupid question...what is that circular looking vessel at the bottom of the bike ..in the middle?

Thanks CM7. Good idea on the gold wings, I'll look into it.

That montrosity you are seeing is the cali evap canister. Looks like I am stuck with it since people that remove it end up with problems. I am still working on moving somewhere where you cant see it, so stay tuned.

I welcome any thoughts you may have on successfully removing it.

Cali evap canister? I'm guessing thats what makes the difference between cali and fed f4i's? Like a thing for emissions?

Thanks alot Aken!!! I am very happy with the results. I do have to give credit to my brother, who suggest we powdercoat the wheels in gold. He went with a different shade on his 636, and it looks kick *** on his, but I am happy with the color i picked for mine.

Yes! The Cali evap canister. Its for emissions crap. I need to relocate it. It diffently looks out of place. You usually cant see on the stock Cali F4i, but with the 600RR swing arm setup, I needed to lower its position. I will think of something. Stay tuned!!!
