Default New member and owner. Just saying hi!

Ive owned my 01 cbr f4i for about a month now and just thought id join the forum. I think ive already put about $2500 into my bike (not including the cost) and riding is so addictive already. Ive bought so far: new headers, K&N, cam chain tensioner, grips, all new plastics, windsheild, radiator, HIDs, RS-3 yosh, power commander III, gas cap, and battery. Just wondering if I should invest in anything that would make my bike last longer or any upgrades that I "need" lol. Looking forward to meeting you guys!

oh, and how do i insert pics? in sure that there is a thread for that somewhere, maybe someone could send me to an are that could be informative in this? Thanks guys!

Welcome to the forum.

Let's see your ride!

Use Photobucket, Flickr, or another third party photo sharing site. For PB, copy the "IMG code" to your post. For Flickr, go to the share tab and get the bbc code and copy that to your post.

The redbull fairings look great. I like the sponsored race look.

I bought new headers and a radiator because something at one point in time had slightly crushed both of them. It didnt effect performance and nothing was mechanically wrong, but I couldnt stand the thought of them being "broken" anymore lol.

I got the new cct because everyone said they have been known to go out, just a little piece of mind for me and something I gathered from my research.

Thanks for all the compliments/welcomes guys, you all have some nice *** bikes too by the way haha
