Default Sunday Ride...

Thought I would post a couple of pics, since the f4i is FINALLY running right....some of you know what a money pit it started out to be but all is good now. Here's a few of the things I've done..

Painted stock windscreen, former owner hacked up the one that was on it..
Flush mount Smoke signals
New Set of Pilot Power 2CT's
Integrated Smoke Tailight
ProGrip Grips
New CBR Chainguard and heel guards
CBR reservoir cover
Custom Red Bull shock reservoir cover
Mesh in fairing openings
New NGK Plugs
New K & N air filter

Getting a custom paint job this winter and decals along w/some powdercoating

Got some plans for my baby, the RR too, powdercoating swingarm/rearsets, pimpbike undertail...I know not all of you are fans of the chrome, but I like it!

I don't think the chrome looks bad at all. I just don't like it when people overdo it... like when they cover every metal part they can find with it...lol...

Both of those bikes look dam good to me. Very nice rides.
Glad you got that F4i sorted out, too. I know how that stuff can be sometimes....

Thanks kilgore,
No, I'm not a fan at all of lots of chrome...or the extended swingarm and fat tire kits. The chrome thats one my RR now is all that is going on it for the most part. I do have a chrome chain guard and chrome heel guards...but that's it for the chrome. I plan on getting the swingarm pc'd black to match the frame as well as the rearsets. Everything else will stay black...oh and I have chrome frame sliders that haven't been installed yet. That's it though. Yeah, the f4i has tested my patience, but all in all it's a nice bike...just needed some attention to get it straightened out. Thanks!

Chrome does not get you home. Nice rides by the way.
