yeah i was thinkin about a cowl too... i just got too excited to get the dayam thing together all painted and everything. there's another member on here who has the same exact bike as me who did the split seat convo and he has the cowl on it. i was still deciding on it but i realized that i thought that there would be too much blue on the bike. to me, i feel like i wanted a balanced blue and black combination on the bike.... (call me weird)

Your bike looks really good. Makes me miss my f4i. I was about to do the seat conversion but then I decided to sell the bike. I think there's stuff you can buy to strip the black paint off the subframe (airplane stripper or something).
