I'm wanting to take the ugly *** grab bar off of my newly purchased 2005 F4i. But theres some nasty looking holes where the grab bar was. Anyone know a place that sells covers for them ?

 

Targa makes a solo cowl for the '04+.... if you have the cash.

 

i fiberglassed mine in when i painted my bike

 

Superbiketoystore.com targa solo cowl 190 shipped.

Cheapest option : some type of sticker's

Other option : 99-00 F4 rear plastic (market price $50-200)
Other option : 01-03 complete rear section swap (expensive)
Other option : have a machine shop custom make some covers!

I'm looking at giving the last option a shop here in a bit. Couldn't find a decent cheap F4 rear plastic, at least not yet.

On the other hand, the rear grab bar on my bike is bent to **** by the original owner. He laid the bike down and it flipped. Had it not been there it would have destroyed the rear end, but instead only bent the grab bar ($70 for oem replace all day) and slightly bent where it mounts up (already fixed). So all in all it could be a good safety piece in case you roll your bike.

 

Not exactly, I broke even on my swap shopping around for a good deal and reselling my stock parts.

 

Justin, just put the grab bar back on, shoulda bought an RR if you don't want them

 

Tools needed:
Sawsall,
bench vise
Various gtirs of sand paper
And if your really good, 2 leds.

Clamp handle in vise, cut off the the flared mounting portions withs sawsall. Sand rough edges. Polish if desird, paint to match if not. Add 1 large led to center of new plate as blinker or running light if desired. Voila, block off plates for the price of some spraypaint and sand paper.
