RVF Fork Conversion - Lockstops

[dx400r]

Hi all,

Just wondering what the best method of sorting out the lockstops out on a NC30 chassis running the NC35 fork conversion kit? Ideally to give me the stock amount of steering travel. Doesnt seem like I have an awful lot

Also one more random question... how far out of the top yoke do the forks sit? My new clipons are a bit beefy so have had to remove the circlips and so dont know what height they should be at.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Dunno about the steering stops but my forks sit flush with the yoke

Had similar issuse on an NC30 with a ZXR400 front end and I can't honestly remember what I did to solve it. Think I fabricated a bracket and fixed it to the bottom of the yoke.
I did have another where I bought a steering damper and used that. I can't remeber if that was a ZXR front end. Needed an argument when it came to MOT time as I recall.

Thanks for that Mr Munky! Is that aftermarket top yoke the same thickness as stock then?

Now you mention it, I did get a steering damper off rick lately so that might help. Mr Rick suggested a little bit of filing as a little bit of it should make a big difference

Havent tended to it yet. Was hoping for a generally accepted method on this mod to be thrown up at me but maybe im gonna have to think on my feet on this one

Update on this one lads.

Have ground about 50% of the material off the lockstops to give me a bit more. It has seemingly partially solved it. But with so much material I wonder how well they would hold up if the worst happened....
