Im looking to get a new rear shock for the NSR at some point, dose anyone know if other honda shocks fit? which models? a new ohlins is £450 for the NSR so if i can get a good secondhand honda shock and have it rebuilt id rather do that. Im sure some of them will share a shock, CBR400? NC30? anybody know? anybody fitted something else?
im pretty sure the nc23 and 29 fit without any actual modification. there is a mint wp shock going on ebay at the moment too.

No worries, probably wont buy it unless I can confirm before hand that it will fit. I thought if it does fit i would have some competition from some guys from here!
nc29 shocks do not fit they are way to long....beleive me I thought long and hard about how I could get my maxton shock in my 29 onto my 21. _________________ MC21SP - Roth-tax

welllll what I can tell you is the usual cheap upgrade for the NC29 is CBR600F3 shock, when I had my NC29 trackbike apart I compared the standard MC21 shock with my NC29/CBR600 Maxton shock and it looks very much the same but is a good inch longer, bearing in mind that the maxton raises the ride height quite a bit anyway if you fitted this shock to the MC21 it would lean so much from the ridiculous ride height I dont think it would rest on the side stand anymore. _________________ MC21SP - Roth-tax

Honda CBR F3 shock will work but you need one with ride hieght adjustment. I have a Fox CBRF3 on the mc-21. It will also fit on a MC-18 but it is about 1 inch longer than stock with the ride heigth adjuster all the way in, ok with a 17 inch rim. I did not fit the mc-21 with the CBR shock so I don't know what mods are needed. On the mc-18 the upper bushings needed to be norrowed and the hole need to be opened up. _________________
There was a guy that sold a MC21 paint in West colors in the USA, he installed a Fox F3 shock, machined the width both ends of the shock and grind a little of the top mount of the frame for clearance of the top shock loop. That is the best I can remember. somewere there is a thread to the whole thing, he listed it in detail. _________________
the 1995 to present honda rs 125 shock is an option,but you need a tyga rear subframe or similer as the piggyback res goes where the battery is on the standard subframe/undertray,also needs a spring to suit but then you can have it done and modified to your weight anyway

Nice fit. Thoygh I was trying to find out whether there is an advantage to fitting an f3 or rs shock other than the looks or poser points etc. _________________ MC21 Honda NSR250. TYGA 300 conversion.

I was hoping to get a bargain myself 
, just doing some research to see if it will fit my MC28.
