Looking for some bling for xmas

Post by ls1vzssz » Mon Dec 14, 2009 9:00 am

Can somebody point out for me where I can buy some fancy bar ands and fork pre-load
adjusters. I'm looking for some bling..

So bar ends in a nice red anodized colour would be nice. If not the black with white RR
engraved into them like you can get for the cbr600.

As for pre-load adjusters, Oberon have some here. My nc30 is a 1990 Jap spec.

Will they fit, does anybody know? Or should I just e-mail these guys? It doesn't appear as tho
my front forks have that much available thread, but is that just the way they are adjusted or
just old style forks?

Maybe some clear led indicators with a carbon look would be good to. Or at least clear lenses.
I have small catseye style indicators with orange lenses and carbon look now. They were on the
bike when I purchased it. I just hate the orange lens.

Also I saw the thread on somebody suggesting led indicator bar ends would be cool. I like the idea,
just wondering if anyone here has fitted them up to their nc30?

Cheers.

Demon Tweeks or Ebay will probably cater for anodised barends - I wouldnt but thats me.

Oxford do nice LED indicators and judging by the number of Leds in them they will be very bright indeed. I want some :)

You may have early forks which I doubt someone would make an aftermarket adjuster for but I could be wrong... maybe have a word with Tyga Performance.

I think barend mounted indicators would be a BAD idea as the NC30 has clipons which means the bars are attached lower and more out of sight than some flat bars just get a set of Oxford Indi's and be happy. They look really well made :D

I thought this was a wind up, but I'll asume it's not.

Any bar end will pretty much fit - it's mainly down to the screw size and length of the bar end ( they'll be too long or too short and rub on the grips). Easily modded to fit.

LED indicators are cool, but make sure you get the right relay so they don't double flash - not cool!

And if you must get anodised stuff, make sure it's top qual. Generally, the deeper the colour the better the quality and the less likely it is to fade.

And yes, I used to be an anodised freak, but them were the '90s (see pic - and dang that was a sweet licence plate!). But I've learnt the error of my ways and now prefer black (it's the new anodised afer all).

looking at some new bits for my rvf at the moment and was considering some new indicators but i want to know whether they fit nicely on the standard farings holes/mounts?

as the honda have those big chunky flashers with big mount holes and i dont want any big holes around where they are attached!

also on my christmas list are a nice set of crash bobbins.... can anyone direct me t a place that sells them for my rvf? or are bobbins just bobbins that fit everything?


cheers guys and sorry for the thread jack! :ninja:

Sorry to kind of hijack, I'm kind of confused.

What from here do I need to replace the whole front axle bolt?

I found that one, the piece I'm on about really is the bit on the other side, I don't know what its called, its like a round cylinder thing opposite the front axle bolt.
