Mounting the F4I Front fairing

Now i had theese bits sat in my garden on a F4 that doesnt run so dessided i would throw them on the F3, Its actually a Extremly simple mod, all it took was 1 bracket, i used a F4 one as thats what i had but obviously if you had to go out and buy the parts you would go after F4-I Parts.
And this is the bracket whilst i was mocking it up, yer i made it out of a heel guard but as i said this wasnt planned lol

The side fairngs are just as simple but i had to drill a new hole at the bottom far back as it was about 5cm off from the actuall mount.

STREETFIGHTER TIME!!!

At first i had soley planed to streetfighter the bike and nothing more, adding the F4i fairings just happend one day without any plan to do so.
Anyway, to fit the R6 Tail i had to cut the subframe off just past the rear peg hangers and make a thiner one that would fit inside the tail section.

I baught a race tail rather than OEM plastics so had to cut the saddle area out my self and as you can see what ever this is made out off, it doesnt like jigsaws lol, the area circled is the only area i think you should need to cut on a OEM fairing as you have a mount on the frame there.

As you can see it just simply bolts up at the front with 2 fairing screws straight into the holes that were allready there.




I allso had to cut 2 sections (about the size of a £1 coin maybe slightly bigger) out of the bottom of the saddle so it would mount right otherwise it kept slideing around on the frame lol

For taillights ebay came to the rescue and i found theese lights on there going pretty cheap, and 2 strips of LED's for the indicators.

I had to jack the Tail up slightly as the rear wheel was just skimming the undertray if i hit a speedbump to fast.

As youve ptobly noticed i dessided to put the exhaust under the riders peg as well, the loss of the linkpipe combined with the short length of the can gave it a awesome sound !!

As you can see in the pic below i had to put a small dent in the top of it so that the rear break leaver wouldnt hit it but you cant see the dent unless you get down and actually look under there.

P.S Im not ragging it from cold, i had just got back from a ride.

Sorting the Exhaust

The first things that needed sorting were the exhaust, breaklines and cracked tires.

First thing was to cut the internals of the can that it had on it when i baught it, but i didnt use the outer sleve from this as 1 i was cutting off what this can used as the tip and 2 the end cap wasnt on there when i got the bike as my mate lost it when doing a beer run at a rally lol



I found my old Viper stumpy that i had made years ago for my ZZR and this would be purdect as the outer sleeve and tip was easily removable all in one go.

Finished

How i got the old girl

This is a photo taken a few weeks after i baught the old girl, She needed New Downpipes as the old ones had rusted into 2 sepret sections not connecting in the middle, the brake lines were on there way out, the end can had fallen apart, and the owner had lost the key so it was hotwired (I know this is a valid story as it was my mates bike), bodywork was cracked, indicaters were hanging off and it kept blowing fusses, still it only cost me £300.

Welcome to my F3 Blog
