Good luck with that...Although it looks very similar there are lots of little subtle changes that require a lot of parts.
For example notice that the spur gear cover is longer to accommodate the VTS slipper and the battery tray no has a spacer in it so it no longer in a net fit on the battery.
Therefore the chassis must be longer and as a result you will probably need new center CVA's, maybe a top deck? The rear one looks different in the photo, front and rear shock towers and oh yeah, big bores! That doesn't sound like a cheap upgrade!

Lots of minor changes here, for sure. Just a while ago I noticed my B44.1 was the exact same length as my B4.1+8. I thought the length was somehow optimal, then this comes out.
So, I want to see these new front arms. I bet they're compatible with the B44.1, which would be a worthy upgrade off the bat. I wonder if they silently released them since the B44(.1)s have been surviving a lot longer on the track in the last few months...
