Where does the fusebox go?

 I had a question and it would appear so did a fair bit of the internet:

    Where does the fusebox go on a CBR400 NC29? 

Fusebox floating around the nose fairing

The fusebox on my bike has been floating about since I have owned it and I have, a few times, looked to find where it is meant to go.

I was under the impression I was missing a bracket, probably the one that the plugs normally sit in but the internet was lacking in answers. My go to CMSNL shed the fusebox as part of the loom which wasn't super helpful but it did show the plug bracket which did not show a fusebox mount.

I did find mention of a mounting point on the inside of the plastics. As I had only had aftermarket fairings on my CBR400's, none of them had brackets but I did remember I still had a nose cone from the race CBR400.

Stock fairing brackets

Fortunately for me, this nose fairing is of higher quality or possibly even genuine so had both the clip bracket for the fuse box on the left of the image and the stud and hole for the plug bracket to be secured to.

Mystery solved and well worth sharing. If you have aftermarket fairings, let me know what your solution was for mounting the fusebox.

Race: Other engines for the NC29 chassis?

Image
The " From Road rashed to race " Blog entry very quickly got a bit out of hand so I have removed some detail and made it more of a story. The real bones of any particular job, such as this one, are now in separate blogs which I will link between whenever relevant. This should make it easier to find useful info whilst still getting it all down. Seeing as I had the engine out of the bike during my initial strip down, it seemed like a good idea to drag out one of the spare engines I had bought to see what the differences were and if they would fit in the NC29 chassis as the forums seemed to suggest. I had a choice of an NC23 motor which would need different carbs due to different inlet port spacing or another NC23 motor with NC29 heads which seemed okay for a straight swap should I decide to go down that root. I picked the NC29 head/NC23 case' hybrid as this should be most similar to play spot the difference. Turns out quite a lot.  Engine mounts are differen

Stuff that fits the CBR400 NC29 v1.1.2 060120

Early NC23 on left with NC29 head NC36 engine right. Intro This blog entry is to list and share what will fit the CBR400RR-L NC29. I have mostly collated it for cross compatibility of NC23 parts as such I will also have a list on parts that do not fit from this machine. I will also list items such as fuel pumps that will fit from other models but clearly aim not going to tell you that an AUDI A4 door does or does not fit, because that would be silly. It doesn't by the way, you can have that one. I will update this periodically as I find things that do or do not fit and update the version number as I go. All of the latest updates will be in red. Engine Stuff: Engine code: NC23E102xxx CBR400RR NC23 1988 Too far forward & low Different upper mount The engine is not a straight bolt in. The spacing is substantially different at the rear with the rear barrel mount missing. The case rear upper mount is too high and aft so it fowls the water tank before far

Racing: Cartridge Forks, R is for Racing! *In progress 20/10/20*

This is a work in progress but as the blog is being written at the same time as I am working (for a change), I thought I might as well publish it to make it a live update of sorts. So do pop back in the future to see when I finally give up and set the lot on fire. The " From Road rashed to race " Blog entry very quickly got a bit out of hand so I have removed some detail and made it more of a story. The real bones of any particular job, such as this one, are now in separate blogs which I will link between whenever relevant. This should make it easier to find useful info whilst still getting it all down. During the time I spent fart assing with engines, for the bikes strip down, I had spent a lot of time head scratching on the computer. Some of that time was on ebay and in doing so I had found the odd useful part. One in particular was a set of forks. They were listed as tidy but missing a damper rod and listed at a fairly low price as a result. Nothing remarkable there
