Oh I get it. You want to black out your bike so you can run from the cops again. How about you stop, unscrew your seat, pull your headlight fuse, and then get arrested. That's a better idea.

I'm not going to help with this project, and neither should anyone else.

What the **** are you talking about uh no i dont need to black out my lights when i do it in mid day. How bout that!!! I actually just installed a new front end which would be 01 f4i on 97 cbr. So by my memory a 97 cbr has one headlight and an f4i has two headlights and by the way i already have a kill switch to do that thanks!

It does have two headlights, but only one low beam and one high beam. they are both 55 watt bulbs.So as your diagram shows, just your low beam to your low beam headlight and your high beam to your high beam.

If your asking how to make your low beam stay on while your high beam activates, I think you can run a wire from your high beam hot to your low beam hot and place a diode between the two. I'm not sure what diode you would need. you could probably just go to Radio Shack and tell them what you need, a diode for a 55 watt bulb, and I'm sure they could get you the correct one. Its probably not more than 5 bucks.

But, you need to remember your bike wasnt designed for 110 watts of draw. Im not sure if it would be a problem or not. If your running led lights instead of standard bulbs in your taillight and or blinkers, your probably fine.

I modded your picture to show what Im talking about.

i really just want to see a picture of what your bike looks like with a f4i front end, and how flush it sits.
my buddy is about to get a f3 and he would like to do something like this as well
