I'll go a yes on that one mate.

The bigger Nissins are a straight fit to RVF forks...so got to be the same fitment.

Certainly SP1/2 and I think also 929/954 calipers will bolt straight up to the NC35. I'm not familiar with the early 600RR units so I'm not sure - they probably will since Honda used the same equipment on a few different models. I'm not sure either how well the stock NC35 master cylinder copes as my street RVF came with a Brembo unit. I've since fitted SP2 calipers, s/s lines and VTR100F disks - those brakes are well sorted. I'm putting SP2 calipers and master cylinder on the track bike with some aftermarket Sunstar disks.

Hope this helps.

Early 600RR calipers fit the NC35 a treat.

because there is a bit of the caliper touchs the fork when the brackets are mounted to the legs, with the brackets off the legs they mount to the brackets fine but the holes don't line up as the calipers fouls the leg again

SP1 calipers are on they're way, so will get some of Rick's adapters.
