Bike mods... tough work!
Man!
I put my rear fender eliminator kit on last night.
Took me all of 4 hours, in the shop at work, with all the proper tools. I am just NOT cut out to be a mechanic I guess. It turned out pretty good though, with the new rear turn signals. I just need to get the new flasher so I can slow down the blinking rate. Or, I might leave it. I'm not sure yet.
Also, I put my Puig Racing tinted windscreen on yesterday, so all is well.
If anyone needs any tips in the future about installing any of this stuff, I'd be happy to assist. Thanks for reading.

It usually takes me longer than it should to do most mods becuase I'm always checking and double checking everything. I seem to make things seem a lot harder than they really are. But I'm all for taking my time and getting it done right the first time so that I don't have to go back and redo anyting. That's when I start geting aggrivated.
Congrats on getting the eliminator kit on.  |

Thanks.
It took me a long time because I've never done one on an F4i before.
Now that I have done it, if I had to do it again, it would be really easy.

ehh, dont necessarily go so far to say things like this. Mechanic work (or general skill with tools) can be learned like anything else. With time (doin more mods and helping ur friends) ur skills get better and the jobs get much easier.
Good work, and post some pics!!

mods are for those rainy weekends...so...it really dont matter how long it takes to do the mods as long as they are done right and look good...
consider a tail swap...i just did one and i cant believe that i waited soo long to do it...and it feels lighter too...
D&D pipe is next...
