Soon be time for a meet up and ride out, but the RC meet is fast becoming an NC meet.

NC30 6
UK NC30 5
RVF 2
NC 750 1

Almost finished my UK NC, but test rode it yesterday anyway as it was a nice day.
Beautifully smooth and pulls from 30mph in top, and pulled cleanly to 13,000 rpm in the gears, seems as good as the RVF and the old NC that was set up on the dyno.

Im not sure thats the same bike, if it is you must have changed the plastics for repo ones or had the originals repaired? Same goes with the forks and all the corroded alluminium parts etc. Proof reqd! Either way ,it looks good same bike or not. Nice one. ;)

I am sure Pete the owner will be along sometime with details, I only looked in from time to time.

He had spare nc30 parts, one reason to take the job on, but working mainly in the back yard with flood light after dark and spraying in the shed did not make it easy.

He has repainted the tank, forks, calipers, rads, sub frame and a spare genuine top and lower fairing.
Spare genuine seat unit fitted.
The wheels were powder coated.
Engine, frame, swinging arm and exhaust can cleaned up, spare headers fitted.

He was working to late most nights, but he is pretty quick.

I helped him remove the carbs last week as he had not done it before and the choke was sticking/corroded.

I had not been back indoors long when I heard him ride by the house. :o

The engine is amazing at 76,000m [122,000km] as it picks up cleanly, ticks over even and smooth and is beautifully quiet.

I thought the bike was sold because the owner had run out of duct tape, :smile: but it was a blown main fuse due to faulty rectifier, now replaced.
