Yes, it was Rob.

I also liked the R1 forks that Kev Barlas fitted to his.

Go for it G, got to get pimp to the max eh?

My bike is 20 this year..too cool

The site is called Harkermatic, excellent site - it has a very good workshop section.
If anyone needs an Rvf front end I have a set available.
Also Ducati fitting kits, I haven't had any made up for a while but my machinist can soon knock some up,the biggest problem is finding the eccentric adjustors at a reasonable price as this has a knock on affect on how much the kit costs.

Will keep this in mind Riley, just need insurance to pay out on my loss of earnings and the courts to do their worst to me and will see if I can afford this :)

Let's see the options:

Riley has a nice Ducati fittment kit
I believe Rick has a conversion for ZXR400 forks but also has an upgrade for the stockers
I went with a yoke from Mhruel's friend to fit the 2002 Honda RS250 forks.
I believe one of my buds from the USA fitted CBR600RR forks

There are a number of options out there and many say upgraded internals in the stockers perform really well and you end up with less weight overall. It really depends on what you are trying to achieve looks or performance or both!

I remember the very nice NC30 of a fellow member aka "Paulbfd".
Not sure if he is still on here. He did on the old forum.
He fitted the complete front end of an K5 GSXR 750 with radial calipers.
Lovely bike!

Edit: it's this one!

He sold it last year mate... a very very nice moto that one.

I think if I was going to do it I would go for the newest and best forks I could get. Would stay well away from 15yr old ZXR forks and RVF forks.

Something with lightweight radial calipers, a lightweight front wheel and that were not too long.

Or...would mug Steve N when he comes over and hold him to ransom for his RS250 forks..

just buy a complete front end of ebay and get these guys to make a custom stem for you to fit the nc30 and

I wasn't sure in the end he did or didn't sell the bike.

Did have a couple of RVF forks sets, so far no luck in getting them fitted on my NC30 these days (due to timing issues and work commitments),
So I've sold 2 sets on. One is now custom fitted on an MC28 NSR250R, and the other one on an track bike of a friend.
One set left to do the job anytime soon I hope.

I like the RS250R setup on Steve N. bike Luv to see his bike in the flesh

Sorry to hijack the thread guys but what's the front end on Paulbfd's bike? Is the whole bike kitted out with Silhouette fairings?
