    I don’t know if anyone else has asked this question but I’m assuming that a CBR600 one will fit, or is it something else?

    I have a 96 CBR600 in my shop right now. While I think if you had both swingarms sitting on the shop floor they would be rather similar dimensionally, I think that's about as far as it will go. Where the battery and the inner fender live in the RC24 the space is very limited for any suspension travel with something attached to the swingarm. The CBR was designed for one stock, so the battery lives up and back in the subframe with no traditional inner fender providing plenty of room.

    If you were building something custom and starting with a hugger and fitting accessories like battery, coils, coolant res with ample clearance in mind - maybe. You would essentially have to eliminate the majority of the inner fender in my opinion. I have never seen one fitted.

    I know that huggers have been made for bikes that didn't have them stock, but I think this a diminishing returns proposal.
