I found a box for a CBX1000 FCR from over 20 years ago in the back of my room.

This is the box that my CBX1000 FCR came in.
I often see articles on the web about parts from decades ago coming out.
It's a little unusual to find just the box.
The FCR inside is still in use today.
Judging from the packaging on the box, does it seem to be the same as the CRS carburetor?
The illustration is of a CRS carburetor, not an FCR.
The box clearly says
[CR SPECIAL CABURETOR].
It's made in Japan, and even though it says [MADE IN JAPAN], it doesn't feel like a Japanese product.
It's just stamped [FLAT-CR Racing Caburetor].
I bought my FCR more than 20 years ago.
I've been writing about little things related to FCRs, but this time the topic is the box.
I might not be able to write anything new.
So let's get started!

Measure the size of the box

All I could do was measure the size of the box.
It's 380x150x285mm.
I'm not sure if the box is included when Keihin ships it, but it has the JB-POWER
logo on it, so it might be a box made by BITO.
The details are unknown.

What was in the box?

A stock right switch, a new crank metal, a side cover seal, a new rear wheel hub damper, and a complete key box were unearthed. I'm not sure if they're rare or not, but they're parts that could be sold for money on Yahoo! Auctions. They could be sold for money, but they were spare parts that I paid for at the time, so I wasn't making a profit.

Looking back at the time when FCR tuning was not possible

The reason I installed the FCR was because the stock carburetor was malfunctioning.
It was simply overflowing, so the manufacturer still had parts available.
I think I should have repaired it.
I had no plans to put it back to the original at the time, so I sold the stock carburetor.
I regret that I should have kept the stock carburetor for the sake of knowledge.
I owned motorcycles in my 20s, but I didn't like them.
The reason was that I didn't know any motorcycles that were in good condition.
I wasn't able to maintain it as well as I do with my current CBX1000.
I suddenly started tuning the FCR after 20 years.
After 20 years, I've come to realize that motorcycles are so much fun.
It's so much more fun when you can do more things. I wish I had played with the FCR more back then. In another 10 years, I might think I wish I had done this when I was in my 40s.

Maybe the world would have been different if BITO had been an agency for TMR?

Currently, FCR has the number one market share among racing carburetors.
Frankly speaking, TMR outperforms FCR in terms of performance.
This is to be expected, as TMR is a later carburetor.
I've heard that FCR is easier to tune and TMR is harder to tune.
I feel that TMR is a carburetor that is easy to understand because it has a good balance of tuning.
In my opinion, BITO was an FCR distributor at the time.
I think that they are a manufacturer that sells high-quality products responsibly now.
They must have had a policy of selling high-quality products back then.
Looking back at it today, they are even more well-known than they were back then.
As for the muffler, if I had the money and could, I would like to use a BITO muffler.
As for wheels, if I had the money and could buy them, I would like to put on BITO Magtan wheels.
It's not that I don't have money, but I don't have a lot of it.
When it comes to the CBX1000, I care about cost performance.
If I spent money on the above products, it would cost enough to buy the latest motorcycle.
I plan my customization while consulting with my wallet.
I've digressed a little, but if BITO had sold TMR in their product lineup at the time, the power of TMR and FCR might have been reversed.
I think one of the reasons why there are so few TMRs is that Yoshimura sold them as TMR-MJN, which was difficult for amateurs to understand. . MJN is also a great product. I wonder how many people at the time could explain the difference between TMR and TMR-MJN. Nowadays, information is readily available on the Internet.
With a little search, you can easily see the difference.
The way they were displayed and sold at the time was not very explanatory.
In the future, the combination of TMR and BITO's titanium muffler may have become a better intake and exhaust combination for the CBX1000.
For the CBX1000 at that time, the combination of FCR and Dangani muffler was seen as a better combination.
Nowadays, the standard for muffler replacement for the CBX1000 is BITO's titanium muffler.

This post is all about my thoughts after seeing the box.
After all, it's just a box. Having a box doesn't make a motorcycle faster.
This time, I discovered an FCR box. That was the blog post.
I encourage you all to try cleaning out your storehouse too.
You might find some unexpected treasures.
See you again!

I'll post a picture of the FCR box. I'm not sure if the picture is meaningful or not.
