FORK SEALS and other stuff

Post by Dowensy »

Hi, anyone know of some rather strong forkseals, as my NC29 keeps destroying them and just had new stantions and a full clean but still enjoys destroying forkseals gone through 2 sets in 8 month and ive only done 3k miles anyone offer any advice?

Also is the HRC exhaust system better than the full yoshiumra system I'm using atm?

Finally I know they did an HRC airbox for the NC30 but did they do one for the NC29?

Are you not using Honda seals or doing too many wheelies?!

You say the stantions are new so there is no rust/pitting whatsoever? And you're not damaging the seals when fitting?

Yes there was an HRC airbox for the NC29, it requires some mds to fit though such as relocating the coils and dropping the rad slighlty for the air scoop. There was also two vairiations of HRC carb jet kit depending on what model of NC29 you have.

See scans of the HRC manuals here:

1994 manual can be found here:

Brand new stantions and nope they worked fine for ages(forkseals), left the bike in the back garden for like 2 weeks and started leaking now :/ which is kinda annoying, also how hard is it to make the airbox fit?

Not hard at all, its just its not simply a straight swap with the existing airbox

How much is the HRC goodness and do you have to make brackets for the coil packs or not? or is it literally unbolt them make HT leads longer and bolt them to something else? Also just ordered a ignitech CDI will i have to get that setup again?
