Nc29 forks on nc23?

[petrolhead19]

Is it possible? And would I have to put 29 wheel on or could I keep the 23 one on?

well i had a look around the net and apparently ppl have fitted them!!

or what about putting NC30 bottom yokes on?

i dont think my fork is bent as its the second set of forks ive been through and the 3rd set oil seals

HELP!!! lol

They will physically fit as there the same diameter (41mm) but the NC29 forks are 50mm shorter than the NC23's so you will have no end of wheel/rad/header/frame/face/tarmac interface problems, if your seals keep blowing you have a few possible causes, slightly bent fork tube, damage/pitting in the travel area or you are damaging the seal when installing it, what are you using to fit the new seals? also how much oil are you putting in? as over filling the oil can also blow your seals.

what seals are you using as after market ones are crap compared to Genuine honda items

[petrolhead19]

Using genuine honda ones. They went the first time so I replaced them, then they went again, so I had some spare forks in good condition so put them on and now 2 months down the line the right one has gone but both sets of forks its only the right one that keeps going. They got the same pressure in for my pre load and are both the same level in the yokes. So im a bit lost
