Hi are there any NSR parts that fit an NF5??

Things I'm thinking would be useful are wheels... NSR MC21 rear wheel 17x4.5 would be useful spare if it fitted.

Front wheel spindle and front disks?

Thanks!

There are very subtle differences, but a lot can be interchanged given time and facilities. However, not much is a direct bolt-on replacement, and the later the NF5 the less interchangeable parts are with an NSR.

Front wheel is very easy. Axle size is the same, spacers are similar (will need to mix'n'match NSR and RS spacers depending on the wheel, but all OEM parts can be used), and the disc PCD is the same, however the later NF5s (1989~ I think) uses a larger 296mm disc.

Rear wheel will need fiddling with, but it will go. Axle size, once again, is the same as the RS. You just need to get the chain run and rear disc correct.

Thanks Andy, really usefull info.
I'l see if i can find a rear wheel and have at go at fitting it. I think MC21 rear wheels look ideal, are the standard and mag wheel the same dimensions?

And none of the NSR's use 296mm disks? But what about VFRs?

Thanks

NC30 brake rotors are 296mm

I posted up the NSR section as well but I'm trying to identify these callipers... they should be NF5

I tried fitting the MC21 wheel to my 1992 NF5 and found it wouldnt go straight in. The hub is too wide, possibly due to the sprocket carrier.

If you were to use an NF5 sprocket and the spacer that goes with it, plus some machining it might go in.

Not an simple fit

Thanks racer 38. I just brought a standard mc21 wheel off ebay so I will try and get it in.

I think those are NC30 calipers, or something similar. NF5 [RWU fork] calipers should be graphite grey/black, have quick release pad pins, and the halves secured with allen bolts, instead of the usual Torx bolts.

Has anyone got any close up pictures of NF5 callipers?

Not particularly close up

I have a "spare" set of NF5 calipers kicking around somewhere... I think they could be bolted to a set of '91 NF5 RWU forks that are sat in StephenRC45's cellar. I'll see if I can get him to take some photos tomorrow.

Outwardly though, apart from the quick release pad pins, the castings appear as good as identical. (As said previously however, they're not!)

Thanks allot!

This might be of some use , 1990'NF5 caliper.

John.

Perfect! on the look out for a Pair of NF5 Calipers.

I have a set of nf5 forks but they have nsr conversion stem. Looking to swap or buy an nf5 stem! Thanks
