Fork conversion/replacement.....HELP NEEDED!!!

Post by Kiki1995 » Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:11 am

Hi I've picked up an nc30 that's been in a front ender and I can't find replacement forks anywhere...I've seen a lot about usd conversions on the net....my first question - would a ducati monster front end fit? I've seen a lot about ducati conversions but no mention of monster front ends, ebay is flooded with breaking monsters at the min so this seems to be the easiest route to take for the sourcing parts side of things....has anybody on here done this? Or does anybody have any other suggestions? Any info would be much appreciated
Thanks, Kieron
Ps I'm new to the site so hello all! :grin:

hop over to the buy and sell section, someone is selling a set of nc30 forks fairly cheaply which will save you no end of hassle.

Not too many about I'm guessing, I presume you've tried ebay/freeads/gumtree etc?

No hardly any...I'm waiting to hear from the bloke in the second link you posted if his are early or late forks but I think I'm gunna snap them up regardless now, I'm thinking any forks are better than no forks and I've searched ebay for forks and breaking nc30's but the only breaking one has been In a front ender and the only other forks are just brand new stantions at 112 (I think) for each stantion so that doesn't really help as i need a whole front end...and the second hand full front is around the price of just one stantion and I'm working on a budget..I never even thought of gum tree or free add's il check them now!

Rick O spring kit will fit both sets of forks and makes a great improvement, if you do end up getting early forks you can get different spacers for the rick-o spring kit to use in Later forks should you ever upgrade, so a worthwhile investment for whichever forks you use.
