- High output alternator
- High output starter motor
- Odyssey Extreme battery

As mentioned earlier this already rapid CBX now sports a greater displacement over the standard figure.

To cope with the larger displacement, the current owner has fitted the bike with both a new starter motor, and alternator, both capable of keeping up with the new power demands.
In addition to fitting these, the current owner has maintained the bike as part of a collection, servicing it regularly and giving the vehicle anything as required.
