I was trying to find this out before I bought a can for my NC23. Eventually bought a brand new one designed for the bike. I'm sure somebody said some earlier ZX6-R cans are very close and require a very small amount of filing of the flange on the headers. :?

I assume you're after a 2nd hand one but there are a few companies who still make cans for the NC23. ;)

The obvious choices would be nc29 and rvf400. They will both fit (but rvf cans were designed for the left side of the bike - badges etc)

zx7r is close.your will have to file the holes out a bit,but the other easy option which nobady ever realises is get a billet ali ended bolt section can and provided the strap looks about right (or if its stainless/ali you can polish the band marks out) just get the end cap set right,mark the base up where the holes are,drill them and tap the threads.
one easy fitting can just make sure its ali bolt on end.
i had a zx7 that would go on but had the snout looking a bit out.
just get ya measurements right!! :up:

I believe the bolt size is the same for the RVF can and we can badge the TYGA carbon can either side to suit the model
