Just wondering, how hard would it be to convert a CR to an R? Is it as simple as it sounds? Just purchase the parts and bolt them on? What parts exactly would need to be purchased? | ||

What are you looking to do? Just the front end? Or the gearing too? The front end swap is a bit involved but doable. It has been done before, biggest issue I recall being the ignition locks. | ||

I'd like to have the R fairing on the CR. Love the CR with high bars and the lower gearing. But at about 90mph, the wind gets a bit stiff.  | ||

I would tell you to tuck in, but you would have to mount headlights to your helmet in your case | ||

Yeah...tucking in isn't an option for me. I become a big sail. Fastest speed on the CR so far as been 135mph, and that was damn breezy. I did 145 on my FJR and 149 on my Gixxer. It's hard for me to get out of the wind no matter what I'm riding. Heck, even when I had a Miata, my head stuck out above the windshield with the top down. | ||

Chad, It'd be cheaper to convert to the Firebolt fairing with the double bubble. Plus, it'd look better | ||

I don't plan on doing anything. Other than to keep working out to build the muscles in my arms so I can hang on better. | ||

thanks for the input guys, I'd just like to swap out the flyscreen/headlight for the fairing assembly. So the ignition causes some problems, eh? sounds like a minimal hurdle.  | ||

ive done 142 in my CR and I was all over my lane, let off because i was coming up on traffic, is 160 possible on a CR? | ||
| Froggy |
166.4mph is banging off the rev limiter in 6th according to a gear calculator I saw. 180.7 for the R. | ||

I think 166 is plenty fast for the CR. I did 145 ONCE on mine and it felt like the front end was off the ground it was so light. anybody know of a steering stablizer that will work on the CR? | ||

stlcr09 that is the million dollar question, at least for me, this bike needs one bad!!! after 130 the front does feel like its skipping across the pavement to me |
