hi all,
is the engine on the nc29 gullarm the same as other cbr 400's and for the cb1?

plannin on getting one and know somebody with a restrictor for a nc29 gull,
would it fit any cbr 400?

cheers

what cbr400 have you got? NC23 Aero, NC23 Tri-Arm, or NC29 Gull-Arm?
if its any of the 23's then i doubt it will fit. could be wrong though

i have not bought the bike yet, tryin to get one off ebay.
but need to know what the restrictor will fit!

[brooky]

what are you getting at? do you have a bike and want a restrictor or have a restictor and want a bike?

[ruddiger]

i was speaking to somebody selling a restrictor and ad a couple of bikes in mind......
at this point i aint got bike or restrictor!!

Hi, the restrictor is just some washers with holes in that go on the carb rubbers. I think the expensive bit is the paperwork that ties it to your bike - i doubt this is transferable.

The engines are different on the nc29 and the nc23 but i would guess the carb rubbers are probably the same size.

I would have thought your best bet is to find a nice bike that you like and is in decent condition and price range blah blah blah and then worry about the restrictor kit.

when i got the wifes bike it had to be restricted, just got local honda dealer to fit a kit and write a letter on headed paper advising that they had fitted customer supplied parts. no one ever asked to see the letter.

knew another lad who had a gsxr750, with a race can and unrestriced but restricted license, had big crash friend got killed, police never even asked for proof of restriction, stinks really!

[ruddiger]

yea i was thinking i would just get a cert to say its restricted............but usually crap like that goes wrong for me!!
i seem to get fined a LOT....call it bad luck!!

then for the 1st time in your life.. get it right and get the bike restricted properly.
you dont have to fork out £100 for the kit.
1) get the bike
2) now that you have a bike, you know what restrictors to get.. look for 2nd hand set, fit them and then dyno the bike. get a print out for proof that it cant go over 33bhp.
3) after 2years remove restrictors and ride any cc you want...

i have no sympathy for people who blatantly break the rules, get caught and winge..

[brooky]

problem is by the time you have bought second hand kit, fitted it, dynoed it you wont be far off £100
