The letters on the needles are N79B, with the N being half the size of the other letter but higher up, anyone know what they are from?

Cheers

I think they're an aftermarket needle that was offered for the nc30.

Mike has the dimensions of these listed along with some other nc30 needles on his site (old info - a lot more info out there now):

FI International. I have a set and they seem to work very well although if you use then on the lowest clip they foul on the spring of the needle holder in the slide. I had to file the top off so there were 2 less grooves and they're fine now. No need to do this unless you're running an HRC setup.

Hi Martin,

Not so sure they are FI needles. I have some and they look like this:

Note the stubby end not pointed like the other ones, also they dont have any letters on them

That's weird because I bought mine new from them in a kit along with some jets and they look exactly the same as the first pictures that you posted :? Are you sure the set you think are FI are definitely for the NC30 and not another bike?

I was told they were FI, they were certainly NC30 though, they came from a set of modded carbs (2 holes in the slides, cut down velo stacks, 124 mains etc)
