I was wondering if anyone has heard of converting a f4i tail to a 600rr tail? I love the f4i, but really like the look of the 600rr. Please help, Thanks.....

first off... welcome to the forum! 
hmm... i've never seen that conversion before but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done. that would look interesting though.

dont think its possible without alot of fab work. First off you would have to change the swingarm to a RR swingarm. The stock exhaust set-up on a f4i cannot bend up and around the stock swingarm. the RR exahust bends up just before the swingarm allowing the exhaust to contour to the shape of the undertail. I guess its possible to leave the stock exhaust but just using the RR tail. But then again i dont believe its a perfect match up.

Although, it would look bad ass to have a F4i front end and a RR rear end, That would be one sweet ass bike.

I know, its the best of both worlds for me. I dont really like the RR headlights but the rear is sweet but I think the F4i rear is too bulky. Both of them together would make one sick ass bike.

Just look at every other tail conversion that has been done, regardless of the bike. It might be a bit more difficult if you intend to still use the seat for passengers, but it's still a pretty straightforward process. Make a new subframe.
As for the exhaust, I'd have to see some pictures of the F4i where the swingarm mounts. Possibly go before the mount, or wedge it in next to the shock. Or just go the easier route and go AROUND the outside of the swingarm like the undertail exhaust kits Wolf (Wolff, Wolfffffff, whatever) used to sell, then back underneath the subframe again. Just need a fabricator or some some bends & a welder if you're doing it yourself.
