i just purchased a 1998 CBR 600 and i want to find out how difficult and perhaps how coslty it would be to do the following:

* add a 600rr fiberglass tail
*F4i lower fairings, upper fairing, and gauges

I saw a bike on here awhile back that was actually much older , like a 1991, but the owner had made some pretty cool modifications to it. this is my first bike so any help would be appreciated.

Probably as much as it would cost to buy an F4i. None of the peices would fit.

 

Boyaa!!!

I think swapping F4i fairings onto an F3 is kind of pointless. Except for the sweetness of you swapped F4i parts to an F3. I'd do it for funsies but don't believe it's really worth it unless you are mechanically inclined.

I think it would be intresting to attempt to swap Ducati fairings onto your Inline 4 bike. Just for hte hell of it of course

 

I have always been told anything can be done as long as you have a torch n a welder. And in the case of sportbikes, zip ties.

I wouldnt do unless you need new fairings. for all the fairings you need, you're looking at $400 - $800 not counting materials to fab new mounting points.

I have a 1st gen 600RR tail if ya decide to do it tho lol

 

The F3 is a steel frame bike. It's so easy to make brackets for the new plastic and weld them on that your grandmammy could do it. Tools needed: cheap mig, angle grinder, hammer.

 

You may want to PM forum member 'tennesseecbrf2', as he did an F4i body and gauge swap on his F2. Not exactly the same, but could probably give some pointers on what had to be done. It came out ver nice too... I saw it in person

 

all- thanx for the feedback please keep it coming. the main thing i want to change is the tail. on the bike that i mentioned b4..the one i saw on here that kinda gave me the idea in the 1st place - it had 600 RR tail with a sv650 tail light. thats the look im going for i dont like the long seat.

I would hold off on any major mods if its your first bike, just incase it gets dropped, even a little tip in a driveway could make alot of hard work shot to sh**

 

Learned that 5 times in a row.
