depends on for what stuff....
i would have to look up some of the stuff...but i know this off the top of my head...
exhaust and midpipe was $50 (ceramic gloss black coat)
rims where $150 (but there are a lot of incidentals like tire removal, remounting, balancing, etc.)
i think the chainguard, rearsets, and heel guards was like $50 or so....
calipers were $40 or 45 i think assembled (they disassembled them for me because i was too lazy  )
problem is i had a bunch of stuff pc'd all at once so i don't know individual totals...
if you want more numbers, just let me know!

Looking good fingers...
...but you'll have to challenge my baby when i get her all done for the ROTM sometime this year!! Or maybe I'll have to wait till '09 because I got a long list of mods to get too...and I'll need time. You get '08, I'll get '09, then we'll have a bike-off !!! lol
I took my bearings out!! hahahaha

well i am representin' the f4i's since we haven't had an f4i as ROTM in what...14 months now!!!
i am likely going to put mine up at some point this year...and probably next year when the paintjob is done....soooooo....let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbble!!!!
lol....no i love it when people go out of their way to make their bike unique...just keep us updated...you run your own RR thread and i'll run my F4i....however i am jealous of the RR in some respects because there are quite a bit more things out there....like chain tensioners and things like that that are VERY hard to find for an f4i...but i'll find em...haha

Alright everyone...here are few pictures showing things i have done...NOW....i have to preface this....
She's still being worked on so there are a few things that aren't 100% right with her...meaning there's a missing fairing bolt, etc....Also...my garage SUCKS for a couple of reasons....first being it's gets dusty as hell in it...i can't keep her clean if i am not riding her everyday...so although i have tried...she looks filthy in the pics...and she is....when riding season comes around, i'll give her a top to bottom scrub down....so these pics are jus to show the WORK...not the quality of the finished product...also...my garage lighting SUCKS....really bad....because it's low light and i am way too lazy to whip out the tripod....it uses the flash which accentuates problem #1 with my garage....
oh and one more thing...the bolts....that look all nasty...they are all being replaced!
so please please please...don't judge my baby by these pics...bad garage + bad lighting + a lot of dust = my baby looking horrible...
come the spring when she can finally exit the garage, i will take some good pics...
ahh now...after all that...here they are...
Back view...
rearset powdercoated...
pegs powdercoated (and LED lights)
front (pazzo's, rim stripes, headlight mesh, etc.)
rear (new sprocket, sprocket nuts, chain, blacked out rear)
powdered stator cover
powdered front caliper
powdered rear (sorry it's soooo dirty...makes me sad)
powdered engine cover
pazzo and ss lines
that's it for now...like i said...sorry for the bad pics...but they'll get better...any other requests, just let me know...
