NC30 Rebuild
Ive had my NC30 just over a near now, and always wanted to strip it down, and rebuild it from the ground up. Now that it isnt my only bike im going to do it.
How it is now.

will add pics along the way and probably many questions!

Re: NC30 Rebuild
Shes going to be spending the next few months in here


Theres just enough room to work on it for now. I think il need more room when i need to start pulling the big bits off though.

Half of the exhaust off

Any one got any tips on how to get a mirror shine on it? Never really polished metal before.
& the engine is not going to be run for a while now seeing as its going to be pulled from the bike. Do i need to do anything to it before i leave it stand?
Cheers

Re: NC30 Rebuild
Is that a Mercury exhaust system?? I wouldnt polish i would just leave it and let it colour nicely with the heat! By the way why are your mirrors on upside down??

Re: NC30 Rebuild
Its a tyga system.
I had to take them off to get the bike out the back, and putting them on in the dark resulted in them being upside down

Re: NC30 Rebuild

Re: NC30 Rebuild
Yeah not my only bike now, bought an R1, doesnt make me feel how the NC does though
Didnt get around to alot today, managed to get the subframe off and a few other bits.


Its looking a rite mess underneath the body work, and the loom looks to be in a rite state.
Tomorow im going to get all the bodywork off, cooling system, clocks, clip-ons and all that, the rest of the exhaust and the loom, i just hope it isnt going to be too hard.
