I'm sittin here lookin at the cherry f4i I bought for 5 G's a few months ago. I stunt the **** out of my crf450, but I want to rock some **** on the f4i too. I already made some street pegs, stunt pegs, custom 60T sprocket ( haven't installed it yet ) and I want to build a streetfighter out of it. Now I am thinkin I should have bought a salvaged bike or somthing, thinkin about choppin the tail and building a round bar, bashin the tank in, strippin the plastic and fabricating a custom crash cage. Everytime I start to wrench on it, I can't get past how cherry the bike is Anyone else stunt out a minty fresh bike? Should I by a used tank and keep the cherry stuff on a shelf if I want to re sell it?

 

take everything off of it and rock it naked

 

+1

 

stunt that ****.... when i first bought a bike it was minty fresh too...but if you dont wanna **** it up then i wouldnt even stunt it

 

it sucks but you gotta do it man

 

umm hey, any close ups of those pegs? i need a left pass one...

2 choices, either sell it, and buy a salvage and have enough left over to buy all the stunt parts, and have cash left over, or strip it down, buy a stunt tank and tail.. make/buy cage and other ****, and then when u're ready, if it's not mangled, throw plastics back on sell

 

close ups are on my site www.esd-mfg.com

I couldn't find a cheap bike when I was lookin, and I wanted a clean one to start out with, not one that was all mangled. ****, I might just go for it like DEBO said. There are never any bike for sale were I live anyway, I looked for months before this one popped up and still had to drive to santa barbra to get it.

 

damn they are pimp.. i really like them, but 80 is prettttty steep man, but looks like a nice product... cough sponsor cough haha

 

i said the same thing, but when a wheeli.e went bad on the intersate, i tried to make it look good again but it was never the same, so to hell with it, pulled everything off, installed some parts and started slowing down my ****

 

Sell it and use the money to buy TWO streetfightered, already set up F4i's.

 

Look been here myself... well I didn't pay S**t for mine.. traded a car for it , but I toom all the minty stuff off and got extra bashed stunt stuff.. fixed them the best possible and put them on.. I always pick up slightly rashed parts around here. Not to many stunters so when someone drops it easy and decides they need new peices I pick up the old ones for free or dirt cheap. Unfortuantly my tank got dented before I could get a stunt piece.. so all I am missing is a tank, but stunt it till it's trashed and reinstall clean plastics.. then sell... just do it.......

 

strip and save the good stuff.then stunt the **** out of it.

 

Just ride it.Thats what you bought it for isn't it?When I buy a bike to stunt I don't worry about what it's going to be worth if I ever want to sell it I just ride the F*cker.

 

I like your philosophy on that one. **** it, I'm gonna start strippin this ***** down right now!!

 

Yeah i started stunting my kawi and I owned 8k on it.. Just take off the good stuff. Put on some crappier plastics and tank and get to work

 

Yeah those pegs are pretty sweet...

 

After


Before

 

Yeah that's what I'm talkin about!!!:YEAH

 

Got all the plastic off already, now I am tryin to figure out how to mount a handbrake on the stock clipons, I'm gonna have to machine some custom ones with chromoly bars cuz I know these stockers are gonna snap off, I'm thinkin 0 degree too, cuz these feel like old school shwin granny bars to me, all turned in and down, and they seem kinda short for a clutch and HB setup.

 

I just take off the high beam switch, you dont need it anyway....

but since you work at a machine shop......
