hi i just bought my first bike a 2006 f4i slightly custom painted needs rear fairing painted. Going to be taking my rider education course next month i already have my permit. yeah i know ima super noob but looking to jump into riding and get my skills up soon. i have went out once already for practice nothing crazy but didnt drop the bike or stall it. here are some pics of my bike. io threw my son on it for a pic he loves it.







i will be on this site extensively searching for tips and mods etc. thanks for making the forum what it is guys.

 

welcome to CBRF

nice looking bike, congrats

 

Nice looking bike. Whereabouts are you located? I'm out in Jersey a couple times a week for work, and I usually ride any time there's not snow or ice on the roads.

 

Hello & welcome!
Bike looks great,congrats!

i already bought some parts for it too:
rear hugger
rear tail (to paint it blue)
luimoto seat cover (type 2) blue and black carbon to give the nana seat some style
hot bodies undertail
oem honda racing carbon fiber(real) gas tank protector with gas cap cover too
blue reflective wheel pin stripe stickers
double bubble dark smoke windshield
yoshimura carbon fiber exhaust
carbon fiber f4i sticker kit (without the wing print)
gpr stabilizer (even though its for a 600rr) i will be calling gpr to get the proper mount that 600rr mount will be for sale lemme know
8000k hid slim ballast kit

im trying to put decent parts on it without going all ricey and corny. let me know if you guys have any recommendations ( i know about the seat swap but i dont wanna focus on that as i have the seat cover )

 

Hah, i'm sure your boy will be popping wheelies in no time.

Good job on taking the MSF class. That will really set you up for success.

Be safe and gear up!

 

As far as the mods, what you do for cosmetics is up to you - it's strictly personal, so go with what fits your style.

For performance mods, #1 is to get the suspension properly set up for your weight. It will make a huge difference. Many people rave about Washington Cycles, which is in Washington, way out route 78. I can't recommend them personally, but they have great word of mouth. #2 for performance is 'mod the rider, not the bike." You're already off to a good start taking the MSF class. Once you've done that you will know some good low-speed drills you can continue to work on. Then maybe next season, take the MSF experienced rider course, and from there you can go on to track days or the Lee Parks class. The more you learn, the better and safer rider you will be. These are amazing machines, and it's a challenge for all of us to raise our game enough to do them justice.

Enjoy, and ride safe!

 

Hey, nice looking bike. I'm in Union county but I visit up by Montclair often. If you're ever looking for someone to ride with, LMK.
