Summer/Fall 2007 Pictures
Pictures from sometime around June.
The day I installed my frame sliders, August.
Picture of how far off the muffler was before I fixed the pipe.
Comparison of the undertail from when I got it, till when I installed the new stuffs.
I'm 6'3" and 240 lbs... poor little bike.
Getting ready to change the front brakes. '99 F4 in the background.
... and the last pictures of 2007, as I left it in the shed, in October.
Spring 2008 Pictures
General pics of the bike as it sits. New fairings not here yet.
Electric seat popper kit installed, and new exhaust shield installed.
Pics from my F4i gauge install. I used 1/4 inch plexiglass for the custom bracket. After cutting and sanding it, I used 1000 wet sandpaper to buff it up and give it a slightly cloudy look.
The gauges at night, while having the laptop hooked up the them feeding a signal to bring the odometer miles up to the bikes actual mileage.
The start of installing and fitting the new fairing set. The lower fairings didnt have heat shielding on them, so I got some foil tape and went crazy. Oh yeah, the cat helped.
The initial fit (or lack of) of the fairing kit. This is what happens when you buy the $600 set instead of the $1700 set. Most of the problems I solved after a lot of dremel work and new hardware. I still need to do something about the tail section, I got some ideas to make the pieces come together tighter.
You can see where I installed the yellow disc lock in the open area where the old gauges were. Also, the last bit that needs help in the tail. The large holes are for the UK version of the bike where a grab bar sticks out. I'm trying to get one shipped here.
Basically finished. Just have to install the tank pad, Stomp Grips and stickers on the tank.
Finally got the finishing touches done. Stickers, Stomp Grips, Tank pad.
Spend some time riding while working in the Boston area. This is in Manomet, MA.
