Default getting some new stuff

So I got a bolt in the tire recently, and it is turning out to be as good as when my wife backed into me and my bike! I decided to get some new PP's. Found them at hardracing.com for $94.46 front and $125.06 rear(after 10% off for the set) plus $28 for shipping. I convinced the wife that I need to get a Pitbull front and rear stand. Also, I wanted to get a tank bag, but with the other items I can't afford a tank bag, too. Well, my wifey said that she owes me a present for Father's Day and is going to buy me the tank bag...then she said she wants to get me the front stand for our anniversary on the 17th...how sweet is that? Now I can get everything I want, and I owe it all to a bolt in the tire .

doesn't the F4i have an issue with the horn being in the way of the pin going into the stem? I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere

personally I like having the fork lift stand with the adapter just for the versatility but that drives the price up a bit. The new front stand looks pretty cool though

I hope not. The F4i is listed in the fittment guide.

EDIT: I just read the part that says, "Note: Brake lines and/or horns may need to be removed/relocated for use."

just loosen the horn, think it's like a 14mm or somethign like that...then push it to the side.
i got lazy and i just pushed it out of the way...it's not really an issue though...easily removed...you'll see...the metal bracket that it sits on can be bent easily.
