The linkage looks very similar and it looks like it will fit?

No, it will not work. Spring rate of RC30 is very different to NC30/NC35 and also the length of unit differs (trial error experience with bespoke Durbahn RC30 shock unit).

I have the RC30 HRC shock on my nc30 along with the triangle and the NC35 dogbone.

The shock itself was resprung and rebuilt for an NC30 trackbike that competes in the local 400class races. The one on my bike works really well but it did require the previous owner to have a lot done to it.
