Gauge cluster: zips, rear fairing: zips, headlight: zips, ignition: zips.

Rear frame wasn't even set correctly either. :facepalm:

A lot of work to do on this but I'm okay with that.

Anyone know where I can see a parts diagrams of this bike?

You can do a front fairing conversion. However, keep in mind that if you want to retain your F4 gauges, you'll have to do some rigging of your own. The F4i uses a dif front fairing stay to accommodate both the dif fairings & gauges. However, all of this is possible & we have write-up/how-to's in the F4 section, w/ pics as well.

As for the tail... You can keep the banana seat (OEM on F4 & '04-06 F4i) or you can do a split-seat conversion to be like the '01-03 F4i. I did the split-seat conversion on my 2000 F4 & have my tutorial available to help you if you want to do it. The link to my tutorial is in my sig-line. If you do the split-seat conversion, you'll need the '01-03 split-seat subframe, battery tray/undertail, tail cowl, seats, & misc hardware. Its a straight forward conversion.



Good to hear. As long as its a solid bike, you can save it. ;-)
That rocks. Thanks so much for the info! I have been reading up on the conversion, seems like a lot but I'll likely end up doing it anyway.

Sure thing. Make sure you start a thread & show your progress. We always like that kinda stuff...whether we've seen b/f or not. ;-)

Great idea. So far, I've got the header off, all fairings off, gas tank off, checked air filter.

Need to take off the aftermarket handle bar.

Searching for an F4i fairing stay.

Emailed a guy about an F4i gauge cluster for 80 bucks with 10k on the ODO.

If you can get it for $80, snag it!
