Yes this is another "I can't believe he did that story."

I bought some NSR250 wheels and this front end from a guy to do a conversion on my bike (RZ350). I did check out the wheels and they are correct. I also bought this front end from the same guy. He'd gotten them from some where so I don't think he was trying to unload these on me.

Anyway, I recently acquired a front fender and when I went to mount it, there were no mounting holes on the lowers. That was my first clue. I have looked at the online parts manual here for the MC21 & MC28 and they aren't from that model. I've had some folks say that maybe it is from an earlier model. So, I'm asking the experts here.

There is a decal that says "Showa" on the lower forks. The calipers say "Nissin" on them so that does jive with Honda. There seem to be multiple adjustments available at the top of the fork tubes.

Here are the pics so if anyone knows what these belong to I can figure out what to do from there.

Late Honda VFR400 NC30 for sure i would say. They use to plastic claps that clip around the lower leg to hold the mudguard. Thay should fit the NSR tho if you got a NC30 front mudguard and clips.

One thing im not sure about is i beleave the NSR forks are overall longer than the NC30 ones so you will have to make sure about that. Ive never had both mine out of the bikes to compare lenths.

I'd be inclined to agree with Stephen; VFR400R NC30, but possibly CBR400RR NC29. Looking at the colour though, VFR!

The VFR Forks are virtually the same as the NSR except slightly stiffer springs, but the calliper mounts are positioned differently to allow for larger diameter disks - bear it in mind if you have an NSR wheel.

Also, the VFR wheel is 3.25" to accommodate a 120 section tyre where the NSR rim is only 3" for a 110 section.

The NSR has better internals too, it's a common thing to fit NSR to NC as the valving is better.

Thank you all very much! Once again this site is amazing.

I'll also take you advice on rotors and such.

1992-1993 Japanese spec VFR400 NC30 forks. No CBR400 came with adj fork caps.
