Re: RS250 shock replacing on nc30????
the survey says..do a search dude..
bottom line - they are not a straight fit, they need a minor fettle
they need, ideally, revalving and respringing.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Re: RS250 shock replacing on nc30????
Its worth noting that you will need a stiffer spring on both thr gsxr and cbrRR shock if you fit them to a NC. Linkage rates are much different on the NC which needs a heavier sping to work properly.
