Funny you mention F4 intakes. I was always a big fan of the MD Phantom. I think it looks menacing in a Darth Vader kinda way.

Not to burst your bubble, but I find if you want everything showroom clean, naked bikes are actually harder. All the mechanicals that make them so sexy are a bitch to get/keep clean, fairings can hide that stuff.
One recomendation, if you like the blue, clean your rear wheel often. It takes on a smoked darker color from the exhaust if you don't.
And be prepared for a BIG mess on your first (and any) oil change. Easiest way is to put it on a rear stand before you pull the drain plugs and filter. You WILL get oil on the kickstand and the exhaust.
As for rear stands, there are a few ways you can do it, shoot me a PM if you are interested.
As for the intakes and Darth Vader... yeah, that's how mine got it's nickname.
