    Inverted Forks

    Question: If I want inverted forks (which I do) for the NC30 - what is the best way to go about this? I have heard that ZXR400 forks can do the job - and they just need machining to fit.???
    Any help appreciated.

    Why? Because my forks need rebuilding anyway - and the inverted forks look better (and apparently perform a little better too). The RVF does have inverted forks but fuck knows where I can obtain a set of those for a reasonable price (I don't think these fit anyway). If I can't sort it out i'll just have mine rebuilt and coated to look slick.

    rebuilding is not a big deal , you can go to the auckland library and photo copy the info , or give them to tgebe on the north shore ,he can even adjust them to suit your weight , if it were me id go see tgebe bruin
