Title: HJ's S4R from Belgium
Post by: henry-john on August 01, 2012, 05:13:18 AM
Hi guys!

Purchased my firs motorcycle. A 2005 S4R

WAS a dark edition, previous owner chose to repaint the fueltank in Alfa Romeo Rossi, a Dark red, beautiful with the retro lettering.

Was completely standard bike when i purchased it.

Changes so far:

Dual headlight with Hi/lo SlimFit HID kit
PowerCommander with custom mapping
Open air filter
Decat pipe
Open termis

On it' way:
ducatimonstertailchop short chop kit
Smokd rear light with integrated signals+resistors

Might be looking for shorty or QD ex box

First time on the bike at the previous owner's place, I was immediately in love

Welcome HJ.
999 conversion? Do mean a motor swap?

Still working on some problems, as fitting the airbox, looking for a custom battery mount etc :)
