Surely Graeme France would know what, if any, FCR's fit the NC23?

Actually, now that I think about it, the NC23 head fits the 29, and I think the carbs are interchangable, so I imagine the NC29 flatties would fit. I have a set of NC29 flatslides (with the hens teeth rubber inlet manifolds) for sale, but am pretty sure I have a buyer.

Nc29 flatties will fit the 23. I used to have a modified set of standard 29 carbs on my 23 and it ran really well with them, they sit taller than the 23 carbs though so if using an airbox you need a spacer under the tank to push it up higher

If you fancy selling those carb rubbers separate I will take them? :pray:

Actually some EX250 carb rubbers can be used. But a brand new set is advised .

Are they a direct replacement then? If so whats the part numbers for the ex250 rubbers that work?

Cheers

Direct replacement..... Hell no. Will they work. Yes. Beats the hell out of the ridiculous prices they are charging for the rubbers though.

They are the 2008 to current carb intake boots. They are longer than the ones that are used but with the airbox I do not see as it would be a problem.

Also I spoke to Trevor about the adapters. He made them but does not have the specs so I would have to send mine back to him. Which I told him is fine.

So do the Ex250 rubbers need modded to fit in any way?

Cheers, lets hope he can copy the adapters then

Only thing I did was put some electric tape on the intake side of the head to have them fit more snug.
