Micro Monkey wrote:Not sure whether the nc30 standard body work is similarly contoured to the nc35 but mine seems to have a very eccentric bracket to push the damper outwards, away from the clocks. Pretty simple really and you could probably make something similar, quite easily to fit other make dampers. I have seen other nc30's fitted with NHK's and they use a similar bracket and are mounted the same as mine. Think mine is a 120 stroke but will check.

NHK dampers for RVF usage are adviced with the 120mm stroke (NHK 3000 series).

as anyone got a pic of the HRC setup? ive got a design in mind but would like to see a pic 1st
please please please (with sugar on top etc) make 2 :grin: :grin: :grin: :whistle: :pray:

I would be very interested in buying one if you could make a 3rd :pray:

Hey Dave, I recognise that bung! Bought one from you on fleabay. Top quality bit of kit and fits a treat.
Haven't seen you selling those resovoir caps though. Have you just started making those?
