Rear fender eliminator and windscreen Installed on 2006 F4I
 
I guess this falls under the mods category rather than the How to section cause I didnt waste time taking pics during the process.

Anyway, I was really nervous about installing the rear fender eliminator because I had to cut the old one off my bran new bike and re-locate the lock, but the kit I got from competitionwerkes.com was great and it came with pretty decent instructions, although I do highly suggest the use of a dremel for the cutting process and be sure to go very slow and watch what you are doing. Look over it a few times before you make the cut, and its better to cut off too little than too much like my barber used to say.

And also, be patient! The windscreen was really easy. Ive been meaning to get some better pix during the day but never did it, so here are some shots I took that night whan I finished the install.

looks good

Thanks! Now the next and final (for now) step is to replace the signals. Im probably going to go for an integrated set-up in the rear and although they are pricey, Im looking to get these up front because I want it to look flawless.

I just have never seen any signals I would put on my bike made for an F4I besides these. No offense to anyone with an F4I that has something else, its just my opinion.

Well on a side note, while making this thread, I see another flush mount signal that looks nice and is cheaper too. Also says no mods needed, just bolt on and go.

Looks good as it is. If you get those signals for the frons, only the people NEXT to yo will see them, not people in front as intended. The same goes for integrated signals in the back,. They are so close together, most cagers won't know what they are seeing.

Bob, you make the assumption that people will pay attention to them in the first place. :LOL:
