dude they polish up amazing, just get your self some W&D and scrub down and then get some buffing wheels, once polished you can either lacquer them or just keep on top of them when you come in from a ride

You got pics ricky? My forks are scratched to bits and could do with a respray/powdercoat. But if they look good bare then I might just go down that route

Get some rick-o springs in them and you'll be saving 50%+ of what the ZXR mod would cost you and you'll have a nicer feel.

Unless you spend the money on the ZXR mod and then upgrade the zxr forks

Sorry to butt in, but what is required to fit the ZXR forks? And whats the approx expense in doing this.

Thanks, Alex.

unfortunatley i didnt take any pics, when i stripped the paint of, i polished the tops just above the mudguard holders, and they came up really shinny, i also buffed a little bit at the bottom in the interests of science but with my bike being silver i decided black forks would be better. hope you can see from the pics?

i used a wire wheel to get the remainder of the paint off, and then use 3 polishing mops on my bench grinder!

be prepare to get dirty, and where goggles and mask! cant stress that enough.

i agree the VFR forks are the nuts when looked after. since i renewed oil, and seals etc the forks feel good, but still not strong enough to come with our super smooth roads!

skip the USD option its to expensive for any noticeable gain!

springs and CBR600 RR caliper brackets ordered on tuesday £102 from mr O! :)

Cost will vary.

Forks / Yokes / Discs / Wheel / Spindle / Mud Guard / Clip-ons / Fitting kit / yoke mod.

Depends on the condition of your original forks (functional not cosmetic, i've seen immaculate forks that are shagged) and if you've set them up properly.

Good condition ZXR parts will normally cost more than tatty ZXR parts, so if your buying cheap parts they might need refurbing too, which adds to the cost.

If you can get some mint ZXR parts cheap then it might be cheaper to do this.

I prefer the look and feel of the NC30 forks when set up properly (based on later type forks i've ridden)

Rick's look good :)

On the first page you can see the list with all the parts I bought including prices,everything was in stunning condition,forks look and perfrom really well,but to be fair it took about 2-3 months to get the parts in my budget.and also usd on nc30 with the standard front end looks odd,with the nc35 front fairing it looks amazin.The front wheel was the only bad bit as the paint is pure shit but i`m going to paint it anyway.

Good that you managed to get lucky on some decent cheap ZXR parts :)

I might have a ZXR front wheel knocking around but I doubt your after a green one?
