Welcome man! I always did like the red/white scheme. Nice bike. Any mods besides the frame-sliders??

OutlaF4, thanks. the red/white scheme is also one of my favorites. nope, besides the frame-sliders, the f4i is completely stock. In the future i'm planning on lowering it (it's a lil to tall) and maybe a slip-on.

Haha Im like 5'6 and I cant flat foot my bike when standing straight up.I got used to it, When standing still I just leave one foot on the ground and the other on a peg works out fine. You should ask around in the F4i forum, they say lowering causes negative changes in your cornering. Just do some research before you do.

Oh and I love the red n white too..
Can you guess why??? Haha------------> https://cbrforum.com/forum/members/-951-baby-shortee-34215-albums-scarlett-342/

Scarlett looks good, man. thanks for the heads up-I had no idea. i hear ya, i'm 5 5 haha yeah, i also lean to one side (left) when i'm at stops/stop lights. the only thing that gets to me is trying to go on reverse because i can't get enough grip to push back with my toes. I just stopped trying lol now i just roll it backwards (not on the bike...i can't find the words to describe it right now...does that make sense?).

Ya it makes sence. I did that all the time at first, I still do it sometimes. But I learned how to push back on my toes, just took some practice. Another thing you can do is to tilt the bike up onto the kickstand and rotate it around, I only do it clockwise so that the kickstand doesnt flip to the up position

Pretty bike. There's a guy with the same bike around here, but he's got chrome rims. I don't see it often, but catches my attention every time.
