BIke looks great, any online links to exhaust systems such as the Mercury would be greatly appreciated. I'm interested in the twin carbon systems. I really like the Tyga, but here states side they are not available.

Thank guys!

Michael

These bikes really are beautiful, and yours is most definitely the nicest NC35 I've seen with a standard body kit. Well done mate :peace:

PS: It says you have R&G Crash Bungs (Non Drill) but can't see them in any of the pics..?

Updated pics are in the members bikes and rides section. Bike gets used very little these days with the yzf coming along, have no plans to get rid though as it's a keeper.

Yep, has still got the dymags fitted with a few small extras added, and then removed since the pic was taken. Tyga airbox and a few small carb mods has smoothed out the midrange, although improvement is very small. To be honest i do not think the airbox is any better than the original, performance wise, although it looks nice.

Carbon frame protectors and swingarm protector bought and removed within an hour of fitting. I just thought it was too much and looked shit really.

It just seems that things i have bought recently have not worked or have not liked, so I now feel i have finished modding the nc now to a point where money is well spent. Granted i could get a bit more out the engine, but i do not feel the cash spent equals the performance gained. I am even thinking that now with the yzf :cry:

But if i had a large piggy of money though ?????? :grin:
