That's a bit vague Monkey! What year? Ready to bolt on to the NSR? Freshly serviced? All parts included?

Not that I know the answer you understand, just thought you could add some more details!

If they'll go on without costing you a fortune in machining, then that sounds a good price to me!

The conversion's pretty easy really, just so long as you have a good machinist doing the job.

The RS shaft will simply press out of the lower clamp, then make a new shaft using the NSR250 dimensions. Remember though that it'll have to press fit into the RS lower clamp so this bit should mimic the RS shaft in it's dimensions.

Or, if you use an original NSR shaft, remove it from the NSR lower clamp as explained earlier then press and weld a bush on the bottom of the shaft to mimic the RS shaft and press that puppy into the RS lower clamp.



Done it yet?

Yeah I wouldn't pay more than that...

I know they're posier, but I bet they don't work any better than my proffesionally rebuilt ones, which bolt straight on and cost less than that to have done... Rolling Eyes

Maybe you should ask HRC why they used RWU forks on Okada's V-Twin 500... Wink

Because it's a race bike you doofus, and every tiny bit of an edge is worth chasing!

If the NSR had continued with it's developement, I'm sure it's have USD too - if only because that's what the market demands!
