I'll spread the word here at the shop......we all went F4i last year.

 

hey standy are you still using that scotts mount for your bike? i'm picking up an f4i as well.

 

Yes Sir! I had to make a spacer for the tank mount, but it works just as good as the F4i mount. Hasn't caused me a problem yet. I can tell you one thing, though....for me, stoppies are a whole new ballgame compared to my gixxer.

 

so you're saying they are harder to do on the f4i?

 

For me personally, yes. I was going well over 500 on my gixxer, and I have been stuck around 350 on the F4i (with a 929 fornt end) with a similar approach (300-400 ft.). At first I thought it was an acceleration difference, but I watched some clips the other night, and I think I'm rolling faster on my Honda. To me, it feels like you have to be quite a bit higher on the F4i, so maybe I was doing 'em wrong the whole time. Its alot twitchier than my Suzuki used to be, so I guess I have to grow some ***** over the winter and try a new technique.

 

thanks for the heads up.

 

No problem....if you have any questions about the front end swap, let me know. I'll let ya know one thing that will save you money- the 929/954 and F4i calipers are the same, just a different color. I almost bought the 929 calipers, but I'm glad I researched it a little first.
