yep.. at the last BEMSEE round at the Brands GP circuit, I had a load of probs with the flatsides, ended up swapping all sorts of bits over to get a good set out of the 3 I have.. They do need lots of TLC but worth it I think. Col

Wonder if the forks are shorter than the 23.
I know Dave simon and he's a good lad. Certainly knows his 29's

on an RVF?

I cant tell you the size but I can tell you that SP1, SP2, CBR600RR and some pre 1000cc blade calipers fit.

I would like to fit Brembo calipers with 80mm brackets in case there is same length between mounting holes.

The NC29 forks are about 20mm shorter than the NC23 and the RVF forks about 10mm shorter than the NC29s, but could be wrong as I dont have my note book with me. The travel on the RVF forks is about 10mm,, less than the 29, so it all equals out..... either way, it does work!! Col
PS. any of you guys doing the Manx this year, would be good to meet up and put faces to names.

Must be a lot more on the 23 as it was bloody dangerous to ride when I tried it.
I do some measurements tonight.
Can check the 35 caliper size for the bolts as have an RVF at the mo.
Not sure I can get to my 29.
