Default Hey All

New to the board, but I've stopped by pretty often and read through alot of the posts in the F4i section.

Picked up my F4i about 3 months ago. 2001 with 27k on it, and goes up daily. Runs really strong, but also needed some work when I got it....and still does. Im pretty particular about how I want this bike to look when Im done. Just switched it to Mobil 1 Full Syn n K&N filter. Put a new D.I.D. chain on it too. It's got a Yoshi Carbon RS-1, that I recently turned into a shorty. Has an undertail kit, and custom plate bracket. Blacked out Zero gravity screen that I did.

Rest is pretty much stock except for a few things.

Previous owner did the paint scheme, but Im not a fan of it. This winter the bikes going under the knife and is coming out with a much cleaner look.

Look forward to being on here more!

Nice intro MyOwnMechanic. Good to have you here.

Clean looking bike. What color(s) are you going to paint it?

This is basically what I'm thinking. I've always LOVED the oem white/red scheme on the F4i, probably one of my favorites of all time. Not a huge fan of the large red graphics though.



This is a cleaner, more simplistic look. Do a smaller black wing farther off the fairing, giving it almost a "rising sun" look. Not pictured but planned is painting all the silver pieces (rear peg brackets, brake lever, etc) black. Also want to do a rear seat cowl and trade my black zero grav double bubble for a standard black screen. (If it's clear doesn't matter, Ill black it out myself).
