Did you get the day-glow orange screen too? Oh, and the dark red tail piece had alu plate instead of mesh.

Yeh got them with it, along with disc, new pads, 4 sets of rear calipers seals, why 4 i dont know??? calipers sprocket and carrier, and the nc30 fairings that are on it now.....and a box full of ....... stuff, oh and a spare collector box!!!

I bought caliper seals in bulk, just in case big H decided to discontinue them. However, I since found out that the NC24 rear caliper is fitted to the 600 Hornet up to 2003 :roll:

So Am I right in thinking my NC24 is now in bits? Or is that plate wrong? The engine on mine had just been fully re-built and was even better than they day it left the factory (if you ever meet my father-in-law you'll understand why I say that). It had only done about 900 miles since the re-build.

I'll check my v5 when it comes through about the plate, i think its right as i bought it off a guy on the sv forum.

Those fairings came off the e114 dma bike, which was off a different person, so unless the plates have been swapped, i dont know where your old one is, the engine on it is very good though to be fair, ticks over perfect!

My bike went to the guy you got the E114 from. My mistake then if you got the other from another bloke.

It's not a standard scheme, it's been re-sprayed.

The bike doesn't have front sidelights, it uses the indicators (which is why the have two fillament bulbs) the indicators will most likely fail if they are still connected and light up orange permananlty when you turn the lights on, so just explain to the MOT tester if they don't know.

Never had any trouble but some people have been made to fit LED bulbs etc at the front

Ususally if it didn't come with one and it's not mandataory it shoudl be ok.
