Font suspension upgrade (675?)
What's the best option moving up from upgraded RO internals?
ZXR400 or NC35 swap? I can't find much information on ether, but i've had a quick go on an NC35 swapped biked, so i know about the steering lock issue. But as its for race/track use only I'm interested in peoples oppinions. (I wouldnt call it a test ride as it was only round the paddock)

Re: Font suspension upgrade
Neither of those would be a upgrade worth doing over a good set of nc30 forks unless you just wanted usd's. An upgrade would be 675r forks

Do you get any noticeable advantage to USD forks?Drunkn Munky wrote:Neither of those would be a upgrade worth doing over a good set of nc30 forks unless you just wanted usd's. An upgrade would be 675r forks

Re: Font suspension upgrade
The late model nc30 forks are excellent when setup properly, particularly on the track (more of a compromise on the road when compared to newer stuff).
What's the problem with yours? Are the forks in good condition - a good clean, new oil & bushes, sag set up properly for your weight? Have you tried adjusting them to suit track conditions?

Re: Font suspension upgrade
The Daytona 675R forks won't fit the NC35 triples. The olins bottoms are 54mm. The NC35 has 52mm. Regular 675 forks are 52mm though. I measured them. Maybe your talking about the Sreet Triple 675R which I assume would fit.Drunkn Munky wrote:Neither of those would be a upgrade worth doing over a good set of nc30 forks unless you just wanted usd's.

Re: Font suspension upgrade
Think I'm going to go for 675 forks, will street triple do?

Street triple forks aren't very adjustable, stick with daytona 675 (or street triple R).

Re: Font suspension upgrade (675?)
Street triple also don't have radial caliper mounts whereas the 675r do, I think the or street triple r also has radial caliper mounts but I'm not 100% sure
