    Cool RC-51 Front End...

    This is what I was thinking about doing this winter. I currently have an '03 Honda SuperHawk, and thought about upgrading my front end to a more beefy RC-51 front end. Has anyone done it and since I'm a N00B, what parts would I have to replace to get the conversion done?? Thanx in advance...
