Pretty bike. Only things left from a CBX is the motor, tins, plastics and gauges.
Going with an aftermarket shock on it?
Then take the trip to dial it in.
Or, go all in with modern forks and brakes too, lol
I saw this picture today

I've owned an RF900R, as well as two RF600Rs. Only the RF400R wasn't available for sale here in North America.Saw this pic recently. Non USA model? Never seen or even heard of this model here.

HiI've owned an RF900R, as well as two RF600Rs. Only the RF400R wasn't available for sale here in North America.
My triple tree is the only thing that wasn't upgraded on mine. No idea why. Wait til you see just how much flex the fork tubes had.
Adjustable front pre-load. That's a better set up than mine. They didn't have anything adjustable fronts in mines day. Awesome.
I'm surprised they sent the rear shock disassembled. They usually make a practice of assembling, and dynoing the rears. So they know the valving is right.
You're gonna love that big bootied girl after you get all this in.
I see you got your Madstadt.I got the side cases off, which was really simple...only fishing those door open release cables back up to the latches may be fun...
Bar-ends, mirrors, and the rear crash bars have to come off too, to fit through my basement door.
The bike is back inside and ready for me to start on it.
It's nose heavy on the center stand(which I have gotten better at using, lol), so I'll start on the rear shock.
The gas tank is almost empty now as well, so that'll help when I remove it.
I've already been through the front end once, so it should be easy to swap in the new parts there.
Now it's just the time to get it all done.

Good product. Good company.
I got pelted with rain in Chattanooga. It was great to watch the laminar flow in action. I got a 20". I haven't extended all the way yet. A passenger may bring in some more height.
That thing sure spends a lot of it's time with it's clothes off....must be a nudist.....Have the fat girl a bath today. Took fender off to start preparing it for paint. I’ll take advantage of the down time to get a more refined detail and wax as well.

I saw a 'wing in Newfoundland loaded down with a very large couple on board.....not sure if all the bags were full but the riders looked to be weighing the scales at close to 300lbs a piece....I said to the wife that it must have a 12 ply tire on the rear....
We followed it for a short while and it wasn't handling the bumps or cornering very well....
Those are ZRX 1200 front forks . wheels / swing arm . Rear shocks also .This guy did some mods from an 01 ZRX1200. Cool one off pipe setup too. The front end looks a lot like a Gen1.
