Readily apparent in these two shots of the RC51's dash from the original version (left) and the SP2 version (above) is the taller windscreen found on the latter model, developed from experience with Colin Edwards' World Superbike campaigns.

The SP2 Showa fork had spring preload adjusters with no lines to signify setting, so you had to remember how many turns you were set at.
