NikoFab Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Some shots of the bike pretty much done. She rides and sounds incredible. New grips just came in, but my throttle control tube shattered when I tried to swap them so ordered a new one today. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/1996532_orig_zpslg4zurw1.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/2168190_orig_zpsdu43vjkd.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/2794383_orig_zpsoybrzk88.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/658430_orig_zpsombiiy3y.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/5598925_orig_zpsqwvvoeqd.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-04-13/8566545_orig_zpsfopcasaz.jpg Edited May 1, 2015 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Your bike turned out great! Im loving the color scheme. Nice work. Thank you very much...I was wanting to color match (to some degree) the Starion. Not bad for my first bike total build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 much better. i am a big fan of yellow and that is a bright yellow. i like it! Thank you sir! Yeah as it came along, I was worried that I went a little yellow crazy...but now that it's all together I'm pretty pleased with it. A couple things I might could have done a little better or differently, but all in all I'm happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 A couple of shots of the F4i and my friend Avey's 2003 Yamaha R1 at the bar I manage. Nothing like some good local brew and excellent crawfish to make a great day. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150607_173942_zpsv7ojp8kk.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150607_173905_zpshueev7hq.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150607_173929_zps0cssr9hr.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150607_173955_zpsyqwa3iq2.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150607_174105_zpszmjfoale.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Took a few shots in order to sell the bike since I was shopping for a liter-bike upgrade...fortunately I never had to sell it...my wife wanted to upgrade to a 600. So the bike stays in the family. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150601_174502_zpsm300iz1j.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2003%20CBR/2015-05-23/20150601_174108_zps923kmipi.jpg Edited June 13, 2015 by NikoFab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the angle I took the photo from...cause it's stock height with no stretch. But we did just get it lowered for Angie so it would be safer and more manageable for her.

NikoFab Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ok, so the wife has upgraded to the F4i. We had the rear lowered 1.75 inches to accommodate her height, but left the front suspension alone so as not to affect performance in the turns so much. It was just enough...she can't quite flat-foot it, but she can get both feet on the ground, which is the most important thing. And the paint job that I labored over for almost a year is going away. But, the new paint job is going to be pretty sick. We're going with a base color of satin black, with various offsets in gloss black and accents in gloss red...should look pretty darn cool...now to just find the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 can you take padding out of the seat to lower it a tiny bit more? i had a feeling once she rode the 600 she would love the extra power. i would like to see your bike with blue rotor centers rather then yellow...

I thought about that, but they are very comfortable aftermarket pads...and she likes them. And yes she loves the extra power...I mean really loves it. I thought about blue rotors at one point as well...but all that is mute at this point...she wants it painted again to her preferences.

NikoFab Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 As I posted before, the wife upgraded to the 600...and wanted it a different color scheme (black and red). Here's a few shots of both bikes...I'll get some more of just the 600 soon, but this gives you an idea. And yes...that's the same bike that used to be blue and yellow! http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2011%20CBR%201000RR/2015-08-17/20150817_154910_zpsyul1mupe.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
