Will this fit a NC24

Will this fit a NC24, the list only says NC30 but are the dimensions the same?

Or is it over rated.

I missed a very good quality NC24 shock on ebay for £55 the other day (it was bought new abou 4 years ago he said to me by text would that be possible?)

Without wishing to sound negative, fitting a £400 shock to an NC24 is wasting money.

What happened to your fitting of the GSXR? shock?

NC24 shocks as standard may be able to be rebuild, so send it off for a service and it will be miles better than it is now for under £100

The CBR600RR shock is 35mm too long and hits the exhaust and wont compress. I tried it by removing the engine and then compressing the back end as much as possible but it still wouldnt fit.

The NC24 shock i have is in poor condition and i was quoted £175 for a refurbishment of it.
All the other companies i contacted never responded about the NC24 shock.

I know putting £400 onto it is a waste of time and money (Money which i dont have), but i want to get my bike up and running again.

ask if he will let you arrange a courier to collect, parcel monkey use city link and for £8 ish they will collect it and deliver it to your door normally in 24 hours. you can pick any day in the week for the courier to collect, worth an email.

Thanks for the info

Will send him an email.

Its just a huge risk buying that as he says in gd condition but No returns. So it could be hiding a problem.

The roads around here are terrible. There is one stretch of road on the way to my mates house that has about 50ish pot holes in a 1/2 mile section. I will try get photos to prove this also.

I dont want accidentally hit one these potholes/hidden dips and do the suspension in again (like i did on this one i have now)
