About a month ago someone backed into my bike and knocked her over ruining the entire left side, the gas tank, fenders(both front and rear), mirror, clutch lever, front cowl, and rear cowl. Oh yea, and the seat, too. Soooo alot of stuff was just replaced. Some of it stock, some of it aftermarket. Tell me what you guys think of the bike now overall and let me know what pops out at you when you're looking at her. I'm trying to figure out what project comes next for modifications.

Looks good. The only thing I'm not diggin' too much is the clear tail light- but that's probably just me. I love everything else. What exactly did you do to the rear fender? Is that some type of eliminator kit, or did you just hack the stock? Clean ride- nice recovery coming from an unfortunate event!

for the rear fender I just got a dremel and carved out a curved pattern on either side and chopped off the turn signals/brackets. Looks good at all angles except from looking up from the bottom.

Oh and I just ordered a HID light and some illumiglo gauges. I'll throw up some pics as soon as I get them on there.

They are probably integrated in the tail light. I would suggest getting some frame sliders on that beauty so you don't have to go through this hassel again if anything else happens.

i took off the giant box rear turn signals and put in the integrated taillight to replace them. All LEDs too. Everyone that has seen it says they like it and I love it. And about these frame sliders, if the bike falls over will only the fram sliders be in contact with the ground?? is that what they're for??

I absolutely love the paint scheme on that bike. It's so simple, but really draws and keeps your attention. And the black frame really makes it. Sweet bike.

thanks. i was going all black with red accents but wanted to do something different. i saw a new r6 somewhere that was going for an all white scheme so i thought cool white with black powder coat frame would look good. thanks again

Yea def stick with all white and black. Don't put any red in there, I think it would clutter it up a bit too much. Oh and let me know how well it does with keeping dirt and grime off that white paint of yours.

Hey thanks for the comments about the repair job. And as for your rear fender, I just read somethign about fabricating your own eliminator kit out of sheet metal. Pretty simple to do, just trace the metal, get some sheers and cut it out. After it's cut, just bend a few parts of it and drill a few holes for a plate. Cheap, easy, and effective. Check out this link: http://cbrworld.net/forums/thread/109887.aspx
That's a step by step for the elim kit. Oh, and is that HID light on your f4? Kinda looks like it in the picture, but not sure.
