Post by mo haggs »

i want to keep the original speedo on an nc30 but i would like to change the drive from the front drive sprocket too the front wheel. is there a wheel thet will go straight into the nc30 without too much messing about?

The only drive I know that can be run from the front wheel is either an Acewell or even a push-bike speedo. I use the ove from a push-bike for about a year and it was fairly acurate. Most (if not all) speedo drives that come from the front wheel have a little hub at the wheel that'll turn the speedo.

the 1991 cbr600f came with the speedo drive on the front wheel,
would a 91 cbr front wheel go straight in?

I think so.

The early fireblades have front-wheel drive too, but it's 16"

would make it interesting.. 16/18" wheels, just like an NC24 but with better profile sizes for more rubber.

Something I really wanna try on an NC30. :D
