ZXR 400 TO VFR 400 NC30 FORK CONVERSION

morning all!!

i have just managed to blag a set of mint USD zxr 400 forks. :grin:

it is literally just the forks, no yokes etc.

now i know these will go on the NC30 with some slight fettling, but was just wondering if somebody could give me a quick run down of ALL the parts i will require to get these on my NC.

as the name states i'm relatively new to these babies :oops: so i wont be doing the conversion myself so if anybody could also recommend anyone in the guildford area who is capable of carrying this out it would be much appreciated and i am more than prepared to pay the going rate.

thanks GB'ers :peace:

Whats wrong with the recoommended battery?

Putting a bigger battery on may mask problems with your charging system (quite common on VFR's)

The standard battery is fine under most circumstances.

I think he is after a ZXR conversion,its different to an RVF set.Cant you put those straight in a VFR? I thought they were the same stem.
