VFR400 rebuild

[porndoguk]

id say get them re chromed they look a little worse for wear and once you get a few big chips they tend to get worse and not better,

but if your confident then make sure you wet and dry them well, close you eyes and feel them with your eyes shut, it will make you touch/feel senses better,

im keen as mustard to rebuild the twats but would be a shame if the seals went cos of it.

[lizard821000]

so a little news.... my left fork is chuffed, not going to risk using the scratched/chiped stanchion plus, the little cup shape bit that sits in the bottom of the fork is completey fudged too!!! so ill be on the look out for cheap set/single fork, till then,not much i can do. so the vfr has had to take a back seat for a few weeks

spoke to rick o and he has some stanchions and that lyinf around but funds have hit an all time low lol

the resson, i bought a gsx 750F lol a shitter but project to do with my brother.....

so im now skint and cant afford the nc30 bits lol. back to work for me so not much will get done for a while i expect!!! shit!!!


cheers shaun

anyone know if the fork seals,bushes and dust seals are all the same size/fit/part numbers for the early and the late type nc30 forks!?

found a cheapish later set of forks but orderd parts for the early from david silvers......


cheers guys

I would reckon they are the same for all forks mate..

deffo seals and so on. Cannot see why the bushes would be different either.

[lizard821000]

cheers CMS, i was thinking the same . id expect it to be just the actual internals and damper set up in the forks that differ.... i hope lol

ello lads, i know iv seen around here somewhere a convo on this, been searching for a bit but couldnt find.

so whats peeps thoughts on the standard nissans the vfr is using?? thinking of doing a brembo convertion....but are the standard calipers plently good enough compared!?

any thoughts lads would be grand


cheers

Rebuilt calipers with braided hoses and good quality pads are more than enough for road/track use.

[lizard821000]

iv bought new HEL lines and new SBS pads, also new pistons for the rear . so the nissans are are up to the job i take it. would it be more a bling thing then you think doing the conversion....or mainly track orientated.

ello lads, right, i must be a right thick cunt because i cant seem to locate on the forum where all the chassis numbers are identifiying your year n model!? lol someone help me out here please



also, i just spoke to david silvers and gave him my chassis coz im still looking for a decent stanchion for my bike and he said my model is a R3L and has the later type forks!??? im confused?? iv orderd all parts for early type forks!!?? but he s adiment i should have the later......again, can some one please help me out, its driving me crazy tbh. been looking for weeks and have purchased a shed load of parts for my forks and i might not even have the right fking bits now.
