Blade/CBR600rr brake uprade on NC30
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:53 am
I'm really making a push to finish off my long owned but neglectewd NC30 project. Many years ago I purchased the above brakes (calipers and master cylinder). The calipers are currently with Powerhouse/Brake Masters in Chesterfield having a full refurb along with the stock NC30 rear caliper getting the same plus a colour change to match the fronts.
What do I do about lines for the fronts. I could just order CBR600rr/654 Fireblade lines but I'm guessing they're likely to be a touch too long. Venhill, who I fancy using anyway, offer a bespoke brakeline service but they don't list lines for the NC30 so I have no idea what fittings or length of line I require. They do list lines for a VFR400RR but I've never heard of such a machine! To potentially confuse matters further mine is an 89 RK model. Not sure if they have different rear calipers to the later bikes.
Can anyone who has done a similar swap offer any help or anyone happen to know what angle banjo's and brake line length that I'd need? As it won't be a road bike I wanting a 2 full length line set up on the front.
