Brittany's Seat Conversion



My girlfried has a CBR600 F4 and thats right it is a F4 not an F4i, all and all it's a pretty decent bike. But its BANANA Yellow and it has a Banana SEAT!!!! I hate the seat most of all and it doesn't help the bike is yellow...... that and it needs some updates to make it look like a much newer bike. Like the single headlight... to a dual headlight conversion. And Some Sweet paint to make it all Look great...

It does have the Polished frame, and wheels going for it, and a Micron Exhaust, custom grips, and is lowered about 4 inches. It runs great and it a perfect size for her, we just need to get it up to date.


So on to this swap! The tail swap it pretty straight forward and really simple on this bike. What do we need?

Here what u need to get started!! All the following parts should be for or from a 2001-2003 Honda F4i:

The Major Parts:

- Subframe

- Rear Cowl - new or used, generic aftermarket replacement(will need to be painted to match your bike so color is not important)

- Rear footpegs

- Rear Tail Light

- Undertray, with Battery compartment Lid... Important to relocate the ECU module

After Market Undertail - you won't need a brakelight or a undertray, as the undertail replaces them



- Front Seat

- Rear Seat

And random hardware to make it all work.

Before
After
It Provides a MUCH sportier look then the original Banana Seat did. This make the CBR600 F4 look like a much newer bike!





I would also like to swap the single headlight both the dual head light fairing setup. That would really help update bike alot! And I really belive it will look great. And Then to finish off the bike in a Fusha and Black zebra strips  and chrome CBR600 and Honda Logos!
Single Light Before

Duel Light After


What this might look like


















So we started on the conversion. but not to a f4i a GSXR Solo tail! It Fit well and should be easy for me to swap out here is a teaser pic!
