Hi,

Basically are NC23 and NC29 headlights the same or totally different (I'm presuming different but hoping I might be lucky lol)

I have bought a crash damaged NC29 to either rebuild or break, I personally prefer the rebuild option but I am trying to weigh up the costs to do it.

It's had a front end smash so has bent forks, damaged/ruined tank and fairings, and annoyingly a cracked clutch cover.

I am in no real hurry as I have the garage space (and currently a broken leg so can't ride anything for months anyway lol) so I will let ebay alerts tell me when bits come up cheaply and hopefully buy bits as and when for good prices.

The headlights are missing altogether and I've never had a 29 before so don't know if a set of 23 lights I have spare will fit. Anybody know?

Cheers

Adrian

Pretty sure they are the same, my nc29 ones are the same as my nc23's anyway lol

My 29 was in pretty much the same state as yours when i got it. You can get all the parts pretty cheap on ebay and quite a few bits are the same as those used on other cbr models. Also graham france has a good supply of used parts at a good prices. If you need new forks any way could be an ideal time for upgrading or fitting a set of usd's.

I have a pair of Street Triple USD's which may make their way onto the NC29 at some point, when I get the time to CAD and order a set of yokes it might happen!

I also have a pair of Street Triple R USDs and calipers, they are destined for my NC23 though! Yoke for that are getting CAD modelled first as that's my real baby.

If they look similar I might design a set of Yokes that will take USD forks and fit both NC23 and NC29, depends on offset geometries etc though. When I get the time I will do the measurements and CAD/prototype work. (I've not even made a visual comparison yet).

Thinking about it if its financially viable and the yoke design fits both bikes I could potentially flog these for custom fitting.
