What else mods are there?
 
First of all, where I am from, I can't use much performance at all. Therefore, I am looking mainly for looks. I don't need any power commanders, new tires, exhaust systems, etc.

So far, all my mods are currently on my signature.

I have already ordered an undertail kit, a carbon fiber triple tree cover, a set of fairing bolts (black instead of silver). I will be repainting the entire bike next month.

I would get rid of the passenger seat/pegs, but my girlfriend rides with me frequently.


Anybody have any ideas on what else I can do? Any tips will be welcome, doesn't matter how ricey it is. LoL.

hmmm... my friend told me to think about putting on mesh grills where there are holes like at the mid fairing and the air duct vents.

I honestly have never seen an F4i with grills. Was wondering if anybody has pics? Would it actually look good if the grills were silver or black?

There is a post here of someone who did the mesh grills theyjust went to either lowes or home depot and cut them to fit. It looked straight in my opinion but that was over the summer last year when i saw the post.

check out my photo gallery...I have a couple of pics of my F4i with the mesh grilles (both sides and front). You can order from ebay for about $80 (recommened), or go the cheap way and get gutter mesh grilles. Easy to install and looks great.

Didnt cost me anything because I had all of the stuff, but you can go to Advanced Auto and get some of the tuner grill mesh for about $20 or you can go to Home Depot and get the stove mesh for about $5. Personally, the stove mesh is to tight of a weave for me.

If you are into carbon fiber you could get a carbon fiber front fender, rear tire hugger, air duct cover, stator cover, clutch cover, and chaingaurd. The rear tire huggers come painted to match also if you don't want too much carbon fiber on the bike. The only other thing that comes to mind would be flushmount turn signals for the front. That's pretty much all that comes to mind.

Okay, next thing I'll probably do is the mesh grills for the air ducts and the fairings.

Since my bike basically has very little silver/chrome on it, would it be better looking to paint the grills black and then put it on? or that would be stupid and make it reallyhard to see? hmm. would love to see a red f4i with the mesh grills. i'll try it out first, if i don't like it, i'll make it black... or completely take it off. lol.

thanks for the ideas guys.

Do the peg turn signals. I just did mine 3 days ago and everyone that I have shown found them to be awesome. They are a relatively easy install if you know BASIC electrical wiring.

seems that some one beat me to it but the coolest thing you can do for the look of the bike is a paint job.
