secretly he wished hed bought a NC29 instead.......lol
Secretly I wish I could have found cheap original NC30 bodywork, instead I picked up a whole set of nc29 plastics for virtually nowt so put them on my spare track bike.


The actual NC29 and NC30 headlights (lamps) are the same, the front subframe (meter bracket) is different.

My NC29.5 looks just like a nc29 with a single sider - much better!

Hi mate!

Do u think the NC30 headlights subframe need a lot of modifications to fit the NC29 front cowling? or they are just about the same shape and dimension.

they arent the same. NC30 have slightly bigger lamp diameter.

thats what i was saying, i bought NC30 headlight covers thinking theyd fit the NC29.. they didnt, they were too big. i had to file them down to make them fit.

i have NC29 lamps on my bike.

It wouldn't fit very well. Getting the lights in the right position for the fairing is tricky, thats why I decided to use the nc29 front subframe for the nc29 front cowl.


@LP: The headlights are the same diameter, sounds like your parts were shonky.
