Here are two pics of the subframe. I made a small retaining wall for the battery to keep it in place and I am going to put a strap over top of it too. It is a lot of tail weight, but I will be getting a racing battery soon, so that wont be an issue. I also welded the nuts for the rectifier to the subframe as well. This gave it a solid hold down and also spaced it off the bike to keep it cool. I have room for power commander and fuel modual and all that crap too. I did extend the power cables as well, obviously.

 

Looks good! Also looks like you painted that white tail while it was on the bike ^_^

 

HAHAHAHAHA, well no, it came with white gel coat. That white dust is fiber glass dust from me cutting it up last night. There is a nice layer ALL over my garage. Doh. I didnt post pics of that, cause it is not done. I will post those soon.

 

Wow, very nice work man! Very impressive that you were able to fab up a new subframe to fit the new tail and have it come out so clean.

 

Thanks. I think it is gonna turn out pretty clean. Should look kinda like the small tails they run in Moto 2. That is my goal at least.

 

Good thing about the dust. Much easier to clean up!

 

I commend you on such a project! If you think the F4i's tail is big take a look at the 05-06 ZX6R 636's! I was 2 sec away from buying one and just may in the near future but MAN IS HER *** FAT...like dumb FAT

I dunno...The pics look good but I dont think the F4i was designed all around to look normal with a skinnier race tail...I mean the tail looks great and then your eyes move forward and the plastics and nose do not flow with it...so it looks like 2 different bikes back to front.....My opinion, fab up some smaller race plastics and try to narrow her down so she flows!

Btw, I thought of doing a streetfighter look on my F4i and I think the pic with just the seat (no subframe) at stock height looks pretty cool! But ya, better hold on bc if you loose grip on the bars you go bye bye

 

Nice work!

 

looks awesome!

 

very nice man! im about to start my new tail this week, yours looks great so far
