Re: what brakes fit nc35?
I'm pretty sure the original 'Blade had the same M/C as the NC35.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: what brakes fit nc35?
I have a 5/8ths blade m/c on my bike and it looks identical to the original 14mm that was there. My brakes are bob on.
Saying that, I have not ridden the old beast for some time and need to get out this weekend for a razz if I can

Re: what brakes fit nc35?
Ah, so it's like the very early NC30s where according to Mike Lohmeyer's page, the first particular number off the line had slightly different clutch plates to the rest of the same year?

Re: what brakes fit nc35?
Think I paid £74 for mine, but they came with Goodridge hoses and a MC (albeit stock NC35 one). I've seen them fetch over a ton a pair, and go for a tenner each individually. Supply and demand.... Currently, the cheapest on eBay is £50 a side. Cheap stuff comes to those who wait...
