Hi all,
Can anyone tell me whether NC30 forks are the same as NC23 CBR400 forks?
Cheers James

Think they are related internally - damper rod rather than cartridge on the early ones.

The sliders can be swapped over if you want to get better brakes on the NC23..

Ah ok, so the sliders are unique to the NC30? Would the internals be damaged if the fork was bent by about 5 degrees? Or could I just replace the sanctions?

I reckon you could prob just replace the stanchions if they are not too knackered. As long as it is high enough up the legs that you haven't bent any damper rods etc...

I've got some stanchions for sale..lol :whistle:

Look good, no fork tops and were bought as spares so cannot confirm they are 100% but no reason to doubt they would not be.

Want them?

sorry for sounding stupid..

but does this mean my set of nc23 forks with racetech springs can be taken apart and the nc30 lower parts used instead without using anything else? same oil seals etc and internals..?

cheers
