RE: F2 to F4i conversion PICS!
Bike looks GREAT Aaron... I love it!! Glad to hear the gauges are working properly! It's charging OK and everything with our homemade harness?? LOL Speedohealer isn't hard to program, just use the online calculator thingy. Have you been able to find a radar gun or something to use to find your actual speed yet?
Excellent work!! Can't wait to see it in person!

I haven't checked the charging yet because I've only ridden it about 2 minutes since I finished, but it cranks fine and runs great. I'll post more about the charging when I get to ride where I can get the revs up.

Nice job. Looks good. How much stay fabbing did you have to do? and how hard was it switching from analog to digital gauges?

By "stay" fabbing do you mean for the front fairing stay? Actually, that was the easiest fab of the whole thing. He split the stay where it mounts to the frame, spread the stay to mount over the existing mounting bracket (kinda like a sock), then drilled a new hole so both mounting bolts would go through.The gauges wasn't too hard. I did a lot of research on the F3 to F4i conversion before I started. I already had a Clymer manual for the F2, and I went out and bought the Clymer manual for the F4i. It was just a matter of matching up which color wire carried the same function on the F4i gauges. To get the temp gauge to work, I used the thermo sensor from a '98 (I think... I have the exact part # around somewhere) 900rr. It is a direct bolt-in to the F2 thermo sensor port. <---- hard to get to though.
To get the speedo to work, I used the speed sensor from a '95 900rr. I swapped out the front sprocket cover too with 900rr. Slap in a SpeedoHealer and it works.
The only "bad" part is with the headlights. The winker is in effect for the low beams, but the low beam goes off when I turn on the high beams. It probably could be made to work like it should, but Jared and I were tired of working on it. All in all, it took me about 3 days to do all the wiring work. If I had to do it again from scratch, I could probably do it in one day. (if I didn't have to keep running back to the parts store because I forgot something)

I'm diggin' the Michelins!
Looks good. Did you get a deal on the bodywork/parts or what?

It's definitely not show-quality paint, but looks a million times better than the cracked out original F2 plastic!

I didn't do a lot of fabbing at all... I paid someone to do it. By "stay" fabbing do you mean for the front fairing stay? Actually, that was the easiest fab of the whole thing. He split the stay where it mounts to the frame, spread the stay to mount over the existing mounting bracket (kinda like a sock), then drilled a new hole so both mounting bolts would go through.
