Moring chaps
Just wondered if someone could clear this up for me

. Seem to be getting a bit confused ( easily done lol)
I have a 1990 Uk spec type one NC30 and would like to know the front fork lowers colour and disc inners ??
Is it the greyish colour and gold inners or the darker lowers and black inners ??
All help welcome !!!
Cheers

That's a cracking pic, your bikes look great.
Hope my type 1 turns out half that well

NH236m sparkle frost silver metallic. Im pretty sure this is the paint code for the fork lowers, its the one my painter matched to anyway and looks bloody good IMO.
Like the Pic Paul, so glad i got to see these 2 for real at brunters!

Hmm.. don't wanna start an argument but the UK brochure shows black disc centres.
I thought only the '89 Jap model (type 1) had gold disc centres (to match the gold calipers).

Thats interesting because it has got the darker coloured fork lowers too! Uk mirrors, undertray and frame plaque though, so maybe its a euro model with the bigger headlights or somethings amiss.

yep we have discussed this before if i recall. and not one of us UK owners had the dark legs and black carriers as shown in the brochure.
Brand new bikes in showrooms were silver legged and gold centre - even new disks when you could buy them were gold centred.
Interesting all the same though.

My bad, my head meant the first (k) model.
Interesting stuff, never knew the brochure was 'wrong'.
