Hey guys,

I bought a 06 f4i last year for too much, it was in good condition but i rushed into buying it too fast. Well its been dropped a time or two and has some cosmetic damage, it still runs im not sure how well but i take it everywhere so im not really Complaining. I want to put some cash and time into it you know get to know here alot more. So I wanna convert the single long seat into a dual seat like the rr's and give her a whole new paint job. Can anyone help me out where i can get started?

 

Welcome to the forum Julian!

If you want to do a conversion from banana seat to '01-03 split-seat, take a look at my tutorial. That should get you started. :-) If you need any help, just let me know.

Good to have you w/ us.

 

Hey Thanx gotcbr,

i didnt realize how thorough that tutorial was, but do you know where i could get all the equipment needed??

Do you know a good place i could get the tail cowl and subframe?

 

I had to gather my conversion parts over the course of a few months. Mine came from the usual places; ebay, CL, word of mouth, etc.

The main thing you need to get started is the '01-03 split-seat subframe. Sometimes they're easy to find, other times not. Additionally, you'll need the '01-03 battery tray, seats, tail light, tail cowl, misc hardware (most reused from your banana seat tail). Its a very straight forward conversion & easy to do.

You should look around here on the forum in our classifieds sections. I believe there are a few parts still avail.

Prob the easiest place to find a new tail cowl new is at Delkevic. They will sell you the tail cowl for about $85-100.

 

Cool thanx man i appreciate the help..Cant wait to get it done and post pics..

 

Welcome.

Good luck fixing her up. The split seat conversion will be awesome. Listen to gotcbr, he knows that conversion very well.
