Liking the 40/60 reference, I often find myself thinking exactly the same thing on track!!

Erm, bought this off ebay. Spur of the moment kinda thing. Complete front end ready to fit to the nc29. Comes with the clip ons too. The calipers are from the VTR FIRESTORM with EBC HH pads. Will wait till winter to decide if im going to fit them as the G France standard ones ive bought and fitted are working just fine at the minute. :peace:

While at my last trackday i sought techinical help with my suspension. Colin of 100% suspention tinkered with the rear shock, setting up the sag first. He was happy with the front setup (confirms money well spent with the forks i got off Mr France) Appears i had it set up way too soft, id softened it thinking it was too hard as the bike was trying to spit me out the seat on bumpy corners. :oops:
By the end of the day i was very happy with the set up, worth the pennies imo.

Depends if you are a Jammy git like Chris and get forks, yokes, clip one and calipers for £200 off eBay.

When the NSR goes I'm going for 35 forks with a maxton rebuild but I have no idea how you fit them.

Maybe worth a thread of it's own...

I might be going for a radial front end on my 35, if so then the present complete front end will be going. Will include everything but the wheel, forks are RLR fettled.
