NC21 Suspension Upgrade.
Owners will know what I'm talking about...
I'm new here and havn't been able to find any info with a quick look around (Maybe I'm Blind)
So, is there any standard upgrade path?
Will an NC30 front fit straight on?
I need it to be pre '89 for our racing over here.
I se upgrading the standard suspension and rims to run a more modern style of setup the easiest way to get it around the track faster, nevermind the comaprative lack of power and terrible-for-racing gearbox ratios!
Yes I know buying an older NC30 would be the best but they cost silly dollars here in New Zealand at the moment and I already have a '21.

Re: NC21 Suspension Upgrade.
Welcome firstly 
I have not heard of anyone fitting anything different to an NC21 or NC24 before.
One of the guys was looking at some 30 forks in a 24 but not sure that was ever finished..
Lets see your race bike as it stands now
got to love the smilies

Re: NC21 Suspension Upgrade.
Here is one of me with it out on the track.
Its at a club trackday, the only time I've had it out so far.
I found it was quite good and managed to get in a good pissing contest with an NC30 that has seen a fair bit of flash upgrade work, the '21 held its own but was much much slower in power everywhere.
Getting out of the corners better helped me in this situaton but I think the oposing rider was just out for a doddle.
My reasoning behind looking at suspension and tyres is I think getting on the gas hard and early may be a value for money way of clawing back some of the power deficit I'm faced with.
Normally it has nice shiny red road fairings, photos of that to come.
Loving the smileys
EDIT: Oh, it would Help if I added the picture!
