NC23 best mods

Post by monkee » Sun Aug 16, 2009 10:58 pm

Hi all,

I've got a 1988 NC23 that had the fairing removed in part streetfighter style which I am tinkering with. I was wondering what are the best mods for this bike. Already planning to put on a 17in rear (NC29), but what other things would people consider as worth the effort for?

Cheers

Martin

Thanks Stimpy.

What year/model shock is used and is it a direct fitment or does it require a different linkage at all?

Appreciate your help.

im unsure of the year 600
but the part numbers are
shock: showa MV9-931 from memory its 290mm eye to eye
linkage: MV9
custome dogbone from graeme france that ties it all together and rases rear ride height
double check this with the man himself tho
it wasnt as expensive as i thought,and made the bike corner real nice
hope that helps

CBR6 FS shock and YOU WILL NEED the GF linkage.
Best and cheapest mod is a 14 tooth front sprocket
