Yack Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Mod list: Attack Performance triple clamp Ohlins R&T USD fork Marchesini front wheel Brembo GP calipers Brembo rotors Brembo brake master cylinder Ganador twinstack exhaust Ohlins 46 HRCL rear shock TCM rearsets So, besides the fact that it's a VFR400 with RVF bodyworkish type stuff....What exactly is it that I'm supposed to be looking for? Goldilocks inverted forks? What's the mod? Nice Brembo m/c...where'd you get that hose from reservoir to m/c? Thank you. You can get the hose at any auto parts store. You'll have to give a ride report to tell us the difference between the before and after. How difficult is it to get the 18" tires for it?Suspension is fully adjusable so it's better than the stock components which did not have compression adjustment. 18" tires area easy to get, BT014 or BT090. However, NC35 came stock with 17". Edited August 27, 2007 by HispanicSlammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nominal_squid Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nice Brembo m/c...where'd you get that hose from reservoir to m/c? Neat bike, I like the split radiator system too...may wind up modding my RC36 similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ImLost Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Man why are those little 400's so awesome. I have wanted a nc-30 or nc-35 for a while. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglasthecook Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Very Nice!!! You'll have to give a ride report to tell us the difference between the before and after. Looks good!!! I would like to get my hands on a little VFR 400, perhaps before I leave Germany, as they're on sale in the U.K. quite often. How difficult is it to get the 18" tires for it?

Member Contributer grizfan Posted August 27, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Can they be made street legal in the U.S? I saw a few when I was in British Columbia last summer. The impression I got from one of the owners I spoke with was that they weren't overly expensive. By the way...........Great looking bike!

Member Contributer ianmont Posted September 1, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2007 Just thought I'd add a reply here. There a couple of companies in Vancouver, BC that import grey market bikes and there are tons of VFR400's around. They generally sell for $3500-5500 Can. and come in tons of different color schemes. I want one for my wife(well, really for me but that's what I'll tell her) Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HispanicSlammer, thank you! You're a star. You wont' regret owning the NC35. It doesn't have a lot of power compared to it's bigger brother but it's awesome in the twisties. The depreciation is very low. It's semi exotic so there is always a demand for it. How does it feel? You'll have to give a ride report to tell us the difference between the before and after. I would like to get my hands on a little VFR 400, perhaps before I leave Germany, as they're on sale in the U.K. quite often. How difficult is it to get the 18" tires for it? Ohlins, they are worth the money. NC35 spring rate is on the soft side for the Japan domestic market. I would gather average weight for the Japanese male is +-140 lbs. The Ohlins were sprung for my weight. Also, they are full adjustable with compresson preload. Stock fork and shock only had rebound and preload adjustments. It rides like a dream now. I won't be able to give you a detailed ride report. My bike was apart for a couple months. So back to back comparsion results aren't scientific and only off of memory. However, any upgrade from stock suspension is well worth it. The stock springs were too soft. It would wallow in the turns. Now they are very compliant. I still need more seat time and do minor adjustments with the settings but I'm happy. The Brembo master cylinder, rotor, and caliper is overkill for the streets, perfect for the track. Stainless steel brake lines alone would have done the job perfectly. One finger braking can now be achieved with the Brembos. I'm using the 19x18 master. Bridgestone still makes BT014 and BT090 for the 18". If you want sticker tires go for the 17" rear wheel. Can they be made street legal in the U.S? The NC30 and NC35 weren't intended for the US market. They were never officially imported. It's a grey market vehicle. Yes they can be made street legal if you go through proper or improper channels. Proper would be contacting a Registered Importer to comply with the Federal requirements http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/elig010807.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer magicman Posted August 20, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted August 20, 2009 Man, I love the 35. But I think I'd rather have a 30 with all your goodies on it. That'd be the hotness! I know they were only rated at like 63hp or something like that, but is there anything you can do about that? Someone must have made some cams or something for them... Any idea of what it weighs now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Don't know if Yack is still around. That's a sweet bike... In Clubman racing in Australia they are getting 70-75hp out of them. When you get closer to 75 than 70 it starts to become a grenade, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get closer to 75 than 70 it starts to become a grenade, however. yeah, thats about 170-190 hp per liter on 15 year old technology...pretty good for the basic engine that was 55 bhp in it's Japanese restricted form. The original package was advertised to weigh 364 lbs...I want one. or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
