Can't agree Eric - but you prefer it and that's all that counts.

WOW!! I love it!! Do you ever have a passenger? I am guessing yes since you have a backrest.

Any problems with it rubbing the tire?

No problems one time me and my wife did the Dukes of hazard over a hill down in hocking hills. We hit as hard as it will ever hit and there was no rubbing so it passed all test.

Hi Eric.
Fantastic looking paint job.
Did you paint or powder coat the sport rack and back rest?
I'm looking at repainting my grey back rest and rack to suit my white 2010 RSS. I'm not sure if I should repaint them in black or white though (black would contrast and continue the flow of the seat and dash)
Thanks for any advice if able.

They are painted. I think white will look the best with silver racing stripes.

Thanks mate, I'll find myself a painter then as I was concerned with the powder coat affecting clearances with the assembly anyway, and also want to paint the nose of the machine to match the body panels.
Silver stripes eh??? I'll have a look at that option as I just had a better look at your paint job. That looks really classy, and does the stripe continue down the front of the machine?

Best wishes from Oz.

Having stumbled across Steve's rear fender mod and liking the look, I did the same my self yesterday. Just waiting on a used OEM left bracket to modify and refit the upper belt guard.

Does this mod exist for the F3?

Pick up a fender and give it a test fit. Zx14 fenders are like $20 on ebay.

i want to do this so bad, but...

how did you all remove the stock rear fender?

i know how to remove the right side, but the left side where the muffler is - there looks like 2 brake lines or something that are attached to the fender.

how did you get those out?

I've ran this setup for years. Mine is attached to the swing arm. I've had zero issues in 50,000+ miles of riding.
