this is the best upgrade you can do for the 929 if you're pressed for hp. things you'll need for the swap:
1. 954 motor/throttle bodies/ airbox
2. 954 main wiring harness
3. CDI
4. instrument cluster/ subharness
5. startswitch
6. headlight switch (not sure if they interchange I know the start switch is different)

If you've got another bike to ride while you gather parts it's ideal. In order to keep the cost down to a minimum every time you buy a part from a 954 sell the one from your 929. If you do everything smart and don't get in a rush final out of pocket cost shouldn't be more than $800.

I've put two complete 929's together off of e-bay (yes they are clean title) for under 6k, and I've got so many extra parts that if I had a motor, front wheel, and a start switch I'd have a running (no title) stuntbike. Once you get into a rush, you get careless with the money and dish out more than you should. I saw a mint 929 subframe w/rear pags go for $16.50+ $22 shipping two nights ago. Just take your time.

crazy900rr;

Thanx dude, good info and good advice.

The 929 engine is still running strong, amazingly enough (50K miles of very hard riding, one clutch and one tranmission)

...the 929 motor really has been pretty amazingly strong, I've just beat it to death.

I've got time to collect the parts needed and not have much down time. I have the 954 motor now.

The bike is deffenitly worth saving, olins fork internals, olins shock, scott damper, galfer waves all around, braded lines, TB x-metel can...
...and it's great in the twisties, the track and for stuntin.

Isn't there a way around the CDI, instrument cluster/ subharness, startswitch and headlight switch?

If anyone knows please let me know.

-thanx again

I now have a running "929/954rr" and it runs awesome! What a difference from a worn out 929 engine to a fresh (9,100 miles) 954 engine, the thing is flippin fast. I had to use a 954 wire harness, cpu, upper wire harness, throttle bodys, air box, radiator and hoses, gauges and the left hand control switch. I spliced the right hand control switch using a 7 pin conector from an old toyota pickup wire harness. I also had to run 3 wires from the upper wire harness to where the tip over sensor mounts under the seat. Other than all that, it's a pretty clean swap.

I also put 954 swingarm on the bike that I got on eBay for $80 shipped, it works and looks nice.

A couple more things I have coming from eBay are, 05 cbr1000 forks with Ohlins springs and a Brembo 19X18 radial mount front master cylinder. This front end's gonna be freakin awesome with the radial mount calipers on my 929's 330 Galfer waves. All I need now are 10mm spacers between the binders and the forks, and a cbr-1k front fender.

I'm glad I decided to give the old 929 a new lease on life. The bike allready had a scott damper, an Ohlins rear shock, Galfer waves all around and steel braided lines. For ah yr2000 bike, this thing's gonna ROCK!

Thanx for the help guyz.
