Default winter project complete

Hey guys just thought I would see what people I dont know thought of the bike. It is a 04 F4I i did a tail swap, new exhaust, new front and rear wheel bearings, powdercoating and paint. The bike was orginally black where it is yellow and yellow where it is blue. Let me know what you guys think, If anyone has any questions feel free to ask Thanks

Very nice bike. I have a couple questions for you. Did you polish or paint the subframe?Did you run intoany unexpected trouble during the conversion?

Very nice! I'm a fan of the paint combination, and I'm always a fan of the powdercoating, especially your wheels. Glad to see your tail swap looks quite successful as well.

They should've just made the new ones have the stepped seat. The 04+ seems to have taken a nice lean toward the "cruiser" side of the fence and left the sport side to the RR's. Doh!!

Anyhoo the bike looks good.

I like everything but the exhaust and the front turn signals. ur bike looks great!

see if your powder guy can get you a good deal on powder coating your subframe and all your pegs it might be worth looking in to it looks good once you do it

w/o plastics, and with.

To answer everyones question the subframe and frame is factory colors, I had a buddy paint the subframe for me. I did really run into any major problems with the swap, luckly there was a guy on here that did all the leg work and had a **** load of pics and parts list and it helped the most. The hardest thing was figuring out what to do with the cpu and resistors thinges and getting the undertail to fit. Why dont you like my exhaust? If you heard it you would be like dang thats cool. I will agree somewhat cause it was supposed to mount at the end of the header pipe. The people that I bought it from said that you did not have to cut the plastic so I sent the bike to paint and then got the pipe and it didnt fit and I didnt want to cut my newly painted plastic ya know. Thanks for the responses if anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask.
