Been on here randomly for a few years just asking dumb questions. Sold my rc51 and my crf450 supermoto before I got married 7 years ago (Big mistake! Not the marriage part but selling my bikes. I want them back, well the one that wasn't totaled after the idiot crashed it and wanted to buy the spare parts that I was including with the bike but he was cheap... live and learn). I love singles and twins and never should have sold them but always wanted a V4 and growing up when the RC30 and RC45 where debuted I wanted to complete the trifecta. Can't afford a rc45 so I picked up a 95 vfr750. Already had a gsxr front end although I can't stand the three spoke wheel. Also, it has the 8 spoke wheel from the 3rd gen. Rode it 2-3 times in a matter of a couple weeks then parked it in the garage for at least a one year+ slumber. We had a baby girl 14 months ago. Been buying parts here and there to "try" to make my 45 dreams come true and things just started to come together! I have a NC35 tail but my taste kinda changed so don't hold it against me. I can always swap out the tail for the nostalgia. I'll post more pics and if anyones interested on parts and quality I'll share that too. Sucks being old when a iconic bike like an rc45 has been forgotten!

Every time this comes up in a post there seems to be great interest so I'll post and Pin this topic for future reference. http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterXRef.html Motorcycle Oil Filter Cross Reference I use the longer ones no problem once there screwed on, just a little more effort required getting past the rad hoses.

Consider adding a digital voltmeter up front so you can keep an eye on the system health.. I would do a stator test to get a data point on that too.

That's pretty much it.... the "fuse b" you are talking about can be left as is... .you can see a glimpse of it on upper left on the battery box of my photo... I agree its a wimpy damn thing, and I admit as to contemplating replacing it with a more robust MetriPack630 part, built up with 10ga wire. But it seems to be ok for the moment, so I have other things that are higher priority. I dont know how the connections to the stator look like on the super kit.... But the preferred way is solder and marine shrink wrap. --( I do all my own wire it stuff.).. The main point here and I want to stress is.... do a good craftsmen like job to get it together... . btw - your mount plate is due to arrive at your place on Friday/Saturday....

A K75! Tesr-rode one in 1985, went for the K100RS instead. Here's me visiting the girl in Luxemburg that 13 years later became my wife
