Is this for an NC30 clutch mod?

The genuine honda one is part steel part rubber like a regular car hose and it clamps along the frame. I don't think it'd be of much good on a 30.

Goodridge and Hell etc all do aftermarket ones, i'm sure the length should be available somewhere, all you need to do then is measure up if it will fit.

If not take a generic measurement and get a goodridge / hell etc line thats the appropriate length!

If you really need the length I might be able to find one out.

Ah-ha!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-BLACKBI ... 1c25e0b364

The clutch lines for those too are also part metal (designed to be clipped to the frame)

So perhaps they won't be the best fit?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hydralic-clut ... 3cc325e199

Same as this NC21 hose.

Can't seem to find a length for the goodrich hoses but the NC21 kit is a different partnumber to the blackbird etc.. if this is due to length or banjo types or what I don't know.

Sorry not much help, when I had the NC21 clutch on the NC24 I made a 'line' out of some spare silion tubing I had (anything will do, even old hosepipe) and brought some goodridge line the closes length and brought the screw on banjo's for it.

The line I had made from Earl's was 1000mm, banjo centre to banjo centre.
But it's on a naked NC21 running straight bars, so you might want your brake line a few inches shorter.

Mo, why not take a stock cable and use it for reference then get a bit of rope, for instance, and use it to track the way you want then you should get a good idea of lenght needed.

And your boy from rads never got back to me and the cover and rod, feel free to hassle him yourself.

Ah sorry! I meant a clutch line!

It's a 1000mm long CLUTCH line I got and fitted - about £16 for zinc fittings, I think, black coating... very discreet.
