Virtually all of the parts will be interchangeable. Underneath the bodywork, both bikes share the same frame/rolling chassis... and everything bolts up to the frame. Aside from the crankshaft, the engines are identical.

hey guys, speaking of interchangeable parts, can anyone confirm if any of the lowering kits for the 250 will work on the 300?
i know a lot of people will say i shouldn't lower my bike but i'm having a **** of a time reversing out of places just on my toes. i actually need to get off my bike to back out most of the time. living in nyc, this is NOT a good thing as there are always traffic flowing and trust me when i say, as a NYer, you never wanna be that guy who holds up traffic (even for a second).
I've already shaved my seat and softened my suspension, but still would like a good 2 inches to be able to quickly back out of situations and ride off as soon as possible.
i know people say it'll affect my cornering, but tbh, my bike is a commuter, not a racing machine. i have no desire to hit corners as crazy lean angles or at high speed. just as most drivers aren't trying to overtake the person in front of them, i'm just trying to go from A to B.
and if you're wondering why i got a cbr (i was originally planning to get a Suzuki tu250x), its because i do need to get on the highway on the weekends and was told the Suzuki was a bad fit for going 65-75mph for a good distance.
sorry this post is so long, every time i mention i wanna lower my bike, i get asked a million questions on justifying my reason, just thought i'd beat the questions to the punch
