A question for the guru's I think.
Won a vfr nc30 subframe from the bay but there are a few subtle differences that I've noticed.
The regulator rectifier is bolt on rather than studs and there is a loop rather than a hook at the back for the helmet strap.



The rest of it looks the same but the differences has got me worried that its from a different model.

Is it from a uk bike, rather than an import? Or from an early nc30?

Basically what I'm asking is will all the body work etc still bolt up the same?

Edit:
This is what I won

The K model had a different subframe but i cant remember the exact differences, i replaced mine with a later model one when I crashed it and it bent.

Bodywork lines up fine, I think I had to change the bolts or screws for the regulator though so perhaps that is it.

dont have it anymore else id check.

If it is really off an NC30 then bodywork should be fine.

The hook for the helmet wire is next to where the helmet wire bolts on thoguh in that picture, that hook is for the tool kit retaining strap.

Cheers for the info. Think I'm worrying about nothing.
Would like to get to the bottom of the differences though

That looks like a NC30 subframe but the L definitely has a hook rather than a loop on the left hand side for the tool bag strap and studs for rectifier. Might be Honda or the supplier saving a few pennies in fabrication.

check this out, its the same.

I swapped them, and apart from regulator being studs instead of bolts on the new one bodywork lines up fine (I remember i had to buy a pack of 10mm nuts now as i didnt have any at the time!)
