Hey guys,
New guy here from San Diego. Just purchased a 05 RC51 and I'm looking to convert her to full track/race trim.

Hope to talk to some of you soon...

hello and wellcome.
it's a SP1 or SP2?
The left Exhaust look from SP1?
The tele-fork look everthing to SP1.
The wing behind looks to SP2.

SAEID

Um!!! It's a SP2. How can you tell all that??? It all looks the same to me. Other than the fron fairing being from a SP1, I can't tell the difference.

Bike looks good. They are fun on the track. Until you lowside and need replacement parts. Wow I'm bitter....lol ......I'ts just a little tough to find used parts. But they are great track bikes.

If you need a right lower cowl I have one in reasonable condition.
It's also drilled for frame slider.
I replaced my bodywork when I refurbished the bike last year.

I have track plastics so I'm hoping I can just add more Fiberglass, but thanks and if I need them I will def let you know. What I do need is a shifter and a clutch lever. Oh and a wind screen, it can be scratched up or ugly as long as it's not broken.

I checked and I must have pitched my OEM clear windscreen when I swapped it out for the double-bubble.
However I do have a CRG standard length clutch lever in gold (number AN-651) in excellent condition.

I'm trying to stick with cheap (stock) because I know it has a good chance of breaking again. Unless you don't want much for it, but I don't know if it will fit in the stock perch, do you?

I just realized I was jacking your welcome thread. Sorry...........

We can move it here.........
