i will love the bike...im sure of it. I really like the way everything looks except the front. I wish it had an F4 front on it...but oh well, looks good enough.
i thought the same thing with my F3, but seriously - it's better then the 80's bikes or suzuki's 90's.. so i just look how bad it could be.

Yea, i have a 1981 Yamaha Maxim XJ650G right now. Its a cruiser...this is still much more stylish than that. But im going to keep both bikes for now. Ive put a lot of hard work into the other bike. It was destroyed in a flood, i rebuilt everything, stripped it down to the frame, rewired everything, rebuilt the engine completely, got everything painted, fixed broken parts..ect...
on the F3, This winter i want to strip at least the fairings off and clean and lube what i can get to.

well seeing how good with bikes (seeing how your stripped one down to bare and going to do another one) if you want the more aggressive look to the front, you can probbly remount a F4i front fairing with just alittle plastic weld and new mounts.. i've seen tail conversion's alot on F3 to F4i's (or RR's) so anything is possible. just remember, if you do - PLEASE PLEASE D.I.Y. pictures haha.. if i could on my F3, i would but all that is salvagable on the bike is the frame and engine (and the engine is going into a mini dune buggy soon enough)
