Default New f4i

Well this is my second f4i and I havnt even road it since I parked it at the shop. It looked good but you could tell it had an ametuer paint and polish job so I decided to redo the whole damn thing. So far on the list i have an 8000k HID kit, new fairing bolt kit, new fork and dust seals, and a few other things including some new gear i picked up. I plan on repolishing the frame and swing arm, and doing the whole bike + wheels in Caddilac pearl white/cream < that color you see on Escalades alot. My mechanic says that painting the wheels white is a big mistake because they will never stay clean, but I guess I will just try to clean them alot and see how it works out , heres a few pics from when I got it, when we tore it down and some of me just starting the sanding for the paint.

Had white wheels on my first bike... It really was awful to keep them clean and nice looking. Good luck!

Everyone knows white is the best F4i color out there I'm sure the white wheels will be a pain to keep clean, but when they are clean they'll look awesome!

Hey there Eric, congratulations on your new bike. Sounds like it got itself lucky and found a very caring owner. What happened to your first one? Anyways, this is the place to be if you own an F4i, there's plenty of us around.

got the fairings back from paint heres a couple of test fitment pics, ignore the rest of the bike its in the middle of being redone.
Does anyone know where I can get the best deal on swing arm extensions and a lowering link? Also any windscreen recomendations would be great thnx

Welcome! Looking good so far. As far as windscreens go, I'm a big fan of my Puig Double Bubble Windscreen.
