Honda-2003 CBR954RR

• Cylinder compression should read 180 new and I'm getting around 155 but pretty consistent across all 4.
• Read something about doing compression tests with throttle-bodies wide open for best results.
• Leak Down Testing

Google search on Leak down testing.

Battery

AniGravity

Damper (Steering)

• Scott's is typically the way to go... kit at RevZilla for $475 but might be worth checking straight w/ Scott's installation PDF.

Headlight

• Repurpose the original light off of the KTM 500EXC w/ a Cyclops LED upgrade ($90).
• Fabricate a new "cowling" and micro-hood from sheet-metal or aluminum.

Headset

Gonna need to overhaul the headset: BikeBandit Headset parts

QuickShifter?

• Translogic superbike-spec quickshifter was mentioned in this rather happy article.
• cbrforum.com post on installing a DynoJet quick shifter with part numbers and instructions. Sounds like you need a PowerCommander.

Tires

Front: 120/70-17, Rear: 190/50-17

• Dunlop Sportmax Q3
• Avon 3d Ultra Sport
• Mich Pilot4
• CSS uses Dunlop, pretty sure they used Qualifier II's for the student bikes, probably Sportmax GP's for the instructor bikes. Looks like the Qualifier II's may be getting phased out.
