SOME ADVICE PLEASE!!

Post by Chris 91UK »

:? Ive decided im going to fit a set of USD forks to my NC. however im still unsure wheather its going to be a set from a ZXR or a Ducati. what i am unsure of what exact parts i need to make the change. ie: if buying some Ducati or kawasaki forks do i need to also purchase their yokes, or will NC ones be ok?

also im going to upgrade the rear. im 6ft 1 so want to raise aswell. if i purchase a maxton/nitron etc do i still need to purchase a jackup kit (RO jobby!)

cheers guys

I belive you need the yokes aswell, i have some ducati showas for sale, racetech internals and springs setup for a 12-13 stone rider, Zero use since rebuilt. £150

As for the rear end no i dont think you do need the jack up kit if fitting a posh shock. If you have a NC30 then i think fitting NC35 linkages etc raises the rear a little

Sorry dont have the yokes but riley, the guy that does the fitting kits for these is bound to have a set which i think need to be modified if memory serves me right.

Very good condtion apart from the red tops have faded a little. 11 stone should be fine as theres loads of adjustment. I have a maxton on my NC, theres no height adjustment but im on tip toes moving it about, im only 5.8 ish tho

It does, it also has the advantage of replacing the bush with a bearing making it much easier to tighten up the suspension (its mildly tricky to ensure the shock is in the correct position so you don't preload the bush before you tighten the lower shock bolt).
