Surely apart from anything else they're too long and sprung to suit the boat anchor that is an Aprilia RS250?
I think the thing to bear in mind is Honda had available and in the range USD Showa's (for the RVF400) and still chose to make the new forks for the mc28 RWU. There will be a reason for this, if they'd thought there was any reason to run USD's on it even just to homologate them to race they would have. _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread

Nah, just a big poser for putting form before function. _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
Got tired of the 'Priller blowing up... And have fond memories of my MC18.
Ahhhhh. Four years racing, not a single blowup, total reliability. Did bend the triple clamps once but thats not the engine.
So i got the NSR. I think she's an MC21R with SP suspension and magteks. Have to check the frame number... Might be an SP with R cylinders and wet clutch
I got a marvic front 3.5x17 and another magtek rear and some rearsets and bits courtesy of TYGA. Should be more on the way soonish. Fingers crossed and all that.
Eventual plans will see a TYGA 300 kit and pipes, trued balanced and welded crank, big carbys and f3 airbox, Ohlins shock and traxxion dynamics forks, and and and
I figure to use the RS forks because they're fully adjustable
BTW: I am dressing her in aprilia fairings cos they're what I've got- Fox Terrier in lambskin _________________ The Chopster
I had the opposite,blew up two MC 18s in my race days (both cranks) and have never had a problem with the RGV or Aprilia BUT i like the Honda for road riding way better. Just seems to have a bit more mid range and easier to ride.
I think that is why i want the 300 kit, more torque. The track days are awesome, blitzing 90% of big bikes on the old as 250 two stroke freaks a lot of people out, the 300 should help get that last 10%! (evil grin!)

Hmmm... MC21SE forks or HRC USD's? Yeah, I think I will keep both the form and function of the better and lighter HRC ones thanks! _________________ Andy.

Nothing quite like riding along the side of a queue of 1000's and 600's stacked up waiting to go into the corner, doing ones classic late braking, going up the inside, and repeating at the next corner...Ad Infinatum, or at least until the flag is waved for the end of the session
Then they moan about how you're slowing them down, and they're such heroes for being able to twist the throttle on the straights and go flapping along Ewok style (Return of the Jedi... Classic scene) past us 'slow' people.
Funny how I passed the loudest moaner at the hairpin. (Ruapuna)
And next saw him back in the pits after the session
This scene was from a trackday a couple of years ago. The big bike boys- except a few notably dedicated nutters and some true heroes- are a bunch of wusses on trackdays. Might be something to do with the insurance not covering closed circuit use.
We Few, on our dedicated trackbikes, need not fear such retribution. If we biff it, we just load it in the van and take it home to fix it...again _________________ The Chopster
