It is not really an anti dive kit. More of a kit with linear rate springs that has been setup to provide a firmer fork.

I have used it on a mates bike and preferred my own forks..but I am a minority of one as everyone else who has the kits think they are superb. I was just used to my own setup I guess :geek:

oh ok i thought they were a stronger spring to go inside your normal spring, just to help with braking compression :? :lol: lolz haha anyways nothing to see here lol......

oh next question how much travel do nc30 1992 forks have, (want to know how much travel mine are doing)

lol - no worries..

yeah, it is a full respring kit for the forks. includes oil and oil lever tools.. worth it.

110mm is my guess for fork travel..

Close but no cigar, Mark -

The kit that Randall is looking at is a pair of auxiliary springs with appropriate spacers which fit around the rod of the damper cartridge inside the main spring and beef up the spring rate for the last inch of fork travel to stop the forks bottoming under heavy braking.

Graeme France has used them in some of his race bikes if you want an objective opinion...

i have been seriously considering these myself for the track nc30.

i may have to upgrade from standard nc30 brakes though first to even push the front that far, haa haa

thanks for that reply rick, how do i get ahold of graeme? so i keep my springs and these go inside them,,, and they only affect the last bit of fork travel under brakes? so cornering they wont feel any different? and will i need to reset up my static sag and stuff like that?
cheers mate
