Nice bro, put some pics up on here for sure, and let us know how hard it was to get it all bolted down properly.

I will go and take some pics here in a few minutes, I still dont have it bolted on its just resting where I want it. I have to take it over to my buddies shop so he can help me weld up some mounts. Im still pondering on how to get the rear seat latched. Anyone have any ideas?

here are the pics, remember its not bolted down and is not finished yet. I have the side fairings off because I painted my clutch cover, the stator cover and the passenger pegs. Let me know what you think. And next week there will be new paint on it, even tho I just painted it like 2 months ago. Anyways here they are.
And heres the clutch cover

Looks nice bro, so you're planning on still using the subframe from your F4 right? Cause I know some guys have went and changed over the subframe, and rear plastic, that would solve the seat bolting and the need to weld, but I think they're other issues still with the conversion...
Looks nice though man, can't wait to see what it looks like when you get it done.
Do you do your own paint?
Also, did you take off your clutch cover to paint ot, or did you just tape it off and paint it on the bike?

Yea Im keeping my original subframe, just have to tweak it alittle and the only welding I have to do are some support brackets...no biggie. And you cant bolt on an RR subframe because they are completely different in every way. The other conversion that uses the F4i subframe and tail bolts right up with no problems but with the 1000RR its a little more complicated but not too bad. And yea I do my own paint, I also painted bindelf2's bike...hes up for ROTM right now. And for the clutch cover and stator cover, I didnt take them off. I just taped it off good and prepped it and painted it. I used the newest color of Duplicolor's Metalcast...its called smoke and once I get my new paint on the bike it will look awesome. heres what im planning on painting it.
