Re: NC30 Brake Upgrade Advise Required
I'm looking at replacing the master cylinder on my NC30 to get something with an integrated reservoir for a sleeker look. (plus my M/C is old and ratty)
I want to maintain the correct hydraulic ratio, so can anyone tell me what the piston size is in the NC30 Master Cylinder?
If you like, you could also tell me what is interchangeable... :)
Not looking to switch calipers or upgrade as I reckon the standard brakes are fine. Plus I just bought funky ASV levers or else I would look at some bullsh*t-expensive Brembo radial...

Re: NC30 Brake Upgrade Advise Required
I seem to recall that the standard master cyl is 11 mm?I want to maintain the correct hydraulic ratio, so can anyone tell me what the piston size is in the NC30 Master Cylinder?
Are you gonna go for a naked style master cyl? Can't comment on compatibility, but I know that some naked Hondas run different levers to the usual Honda sprtsbike stylee.

86-96 VFR750F? RC24/RC36
Same lever as the VFR400 although I'm not sure about the bore.
Don't have a clear shot of just the M/C but these two show it.

Re: NC30 Brake Upgrade Advise Required
Apart from the original Nissin pads which would anybody recommend for track use using the standard calipers?

There are several compounds available from Bendix - do you know which one it might be?

They are the pads I was looking at. Might give them a try.
