hey
Really just a topic to discuss the difference between nc29 models coz im bored. Noticed there is a fair few part numbers an information that differs between the L,N models compared to the R model, difference with valve clearances but also things like the exhaust, obviously they are all interlinked with each other so I suspect the carb trumpets, cylinder head, will have sum differences aswel.

I was just wondering does the R model engine make more power or are any more reliable than the L,N models or just random changes improvement Honda decided to make, I also assume there are other changes related to the chassis

MEeeeeeeeOOwwwww

cabs are slightly differnt - 4 short stacks iirc and the slides are slightly different too.

Forks are adjustable for damping too

I seem to remember the pistons being different too - could be wrong though

The Fork assembly on the R series are so different, my Haynes manual has a seperate section just for them on thier own.
The look to have different components, as well as, different abilities. IE damping.

lots of differences on the "R" forks, cams, carbs, gearbox, wiring and switchgear at least and i think its the only one that gets proper fireblade paintwork (red/black type8) in my opinion the "R" is the closest to a modern spots bike

we should get two together and have a good old fasion race!!

so does anyone think that changing parts from an r model would have any improvments. i don't plan on doing this but would be rather nifty if power or better running could be had from bolting R model parts to a L&N or viseversa
