HRC Linkage - used for NC35?

Post by RoninZX-10R »

I've been reading about the advantages of using the HRC replica suspension linkage on the NC30's and was wondering whether it applies to the '35 as well?

I'm in need of a better shock before next years race season starts and after reading StrayAlien's experiences so far during the repair of his '30 I'm keen to go down the same path (he's fitted an '05 GSXR750 shock with the HRC linkage).

If I go this same route (I can get a GSXR shock real cheap), would I get the same improvements on my NC35 as guys are getting on the NC30's?

Cheers,
Josh

Cheers, thanks Drunkn Munkey. I'm still trying to justify spending such a large amount of money of the linkage, but when it comes to bikes I can usually justify anything :-)

It is actually a '06/07 GSXR shock - the '05 is 335mm which is too long. The 06/07 is 315mm-ish.

Ping me a PM if you want to come over and have a look. No problems.

Cheers, thanks mate. I'll wait til I get everything installed on the bike then I'll get in contact if I'm having any issues.

I've order a couple sets of brake discs (wets and slick), some expensive SBS carbon pads, they should arrive this week, then I have to wait for the shock and linkage to arrive. I need to get the forks serviced and revalved as well, never ending :-)
