The 929 already weighs close to 370lbs. The weight savings (if any) would be negligible. Spend the money and just get a 929, plus the better forks, brakes, etc. It would be cheaper than trying to stuff the motor in a F4 frame......which you have to cut up to even get it in there. It would handle like shit too.

EDIT - If you want a "sleeper", just get some used F4 plastics and make them fit the 929.
