dataracer has on one his i think, it does fit but not a direct bolt on, some things have to be chopped off first

It definitely doesn't look pretty!

I did this because I was doing a budget build to get a track bike back on the road and had a whole set of nc29 bodywork spare (now has nc bodywork on!).

Lots of the front of the seat unit had to be chopped off. Biggest problem was that the coils and area around them look too exposed. I was going to make up a carbon cover for this part.

Maybe an idea. There is an option to put an genuine RVF rear end on an VFR NC30, no cutting need and as it fits spot on.
