enigne number and frame number are both K 1989 models so looks legit, just been uprated with the suspension i think.

89 models are Japanese imports, the uk models are the only ones that fetch a premium with collectors as far as i know (and they are unmolested examples)

since the phsyical differences are hardly anything i wouldnt bother reverting

Thanks for the help and info everyone. Il keep it as iv bought it then with later suspension. To be honest i bought it cos i loved how it looked so after saying im going to change the fork colour back to silver i think im going to leave as is, as theres not a mark on them and as i say i love how it looks so why change it. Iv not met that typical person yet who im sure we have all bumped into that picks your car or bike to bits because its got the wrong bits on. Everyone whos looked at it carnt belive how nice it is. Just got all the bits back from the platers so will be putting it back together then figure out how to get some photos on here.
Again thanks everyone :)

I think anyone that knows anything about an NC30 will agree that the later suspension fits almost un-noticably and is a great improvement in the bike, only if you were in some standard competition would there be any reason to have the original set up.

later forks you can overhaul with new springs from Rick O if you want even more performance from them, rear shock can also be rebuilt if its clapped out
