Hi,
I'm in the process of rebuilding my trackbike after getting the suspension sorted. Would someone be able to tell me the length of a standard front fork off a 1992 NC30 fully extended from the fork cap? And also how much fork you have protruding out of the top yoke? I have a firestorm set of forks to go into the yokes and I need to make sure they are set at the correct height. I've had problems with my front tyre which is a 70 profile contacting the bodywork, caused by a combination of soft springs and incorrect front ride height (which incidentally locked the front going into druids!).
Cheers,
Brys.
NC30 Front fork length??

Re: NC30 Front fork length??
Stock NC30 forks are 690mm from the centre of the wheel spindle to the top surface of the top yoke fully extended - that`s set up as standard with the joint between the chrome stanchion and the alloy top nut sitting level with the top of the yoke.
Your Firestorm forks will have a big chunk of stanchion poking through the top yoke but it`s a conversion which works perfectly OK as the sliders are the same length as NC30 ones.

Re: NC30 Front fork length??
Cheers Rick. I'll slot them in to those measurements and hopefully that will give me enough clearance for the front wheel.
