Which upgrade?

Post by Jorgens »

Hi all!
What would be the first performance upgrade for a stock 45? I`ll leave the engine out for now. Brakes, rideheight? I will only be doing upgrades that will leave the option to set it back to original. And, will a 17" front mess up the geometry of the bike? Ps; there`s a new aftermarket rear damper already installed.

Bring it on :D

This is what I would do to a stock RC45;
1. CBR600 17 inch front wheel
2. Ohlins superbike shock/linkage and HRC ride height adjuster
3. Some form of slip on muffler, purely for aural titalation
4. Modern tyres

You will be suprised how an RC45 is transformed with these mods.

So, with a 17" frontwheel will the original brakedisc`s fit? And std calipers?
I`m guessing the rideheight adjuster is needed due to the geomertichange that comes with this mod? What prices are we talking about on the linkage/adjuster?
