Anything is possibly with enough time or money or knowledge. nc30 is around the same size/shap as the nc23 so shouldnt be to much hassle, you would have to have a think about how you would merge the front of the seat unit into the bike, if you didnt wana bust out the fibre glass.

Why? The NC30 arse is is butt ugly (no pun intended there ;) )

NC29 tail would probably be a better option as it doesn't flair down under the tank like the NC30 tail.

prices for what? The fairing?
Your going to be cutting and fiberglassing the fairing anyway so you may aswell buy a cheap fiberglass race unit to start with. That or get a tatty second hand part.

The NC30 seat attaches to the fairing its self, Where as the NC23/29 seats fasten to the actual bike frame. So there will be some mods to be done there.


Like has been said, anything is possible given time and money, Just get yourself the fairings you want, and the seats you want, then get cutting. :)


Oh, and keep us updated with any work you do end up doing.

Stcikshift has put an NC29 seat unit on an NC30, so in theory it should work the other way around - with a bit more chopping! The NC30 seat unit would look a bit odd with the lines of the NC23 though me thinks :o
