Looks very nice indeed. I can't wait to swing a leg over mine.

Where did you get your single seat cover from by the way?

Tony is correct, it's a solo rear seat cover from silhouette. Bought it brand new from them. Very very good quality, style and fitment. Paint is 100% match. M&P do sell solo covers too, but should be from Pyramids UK.

New HT leads, new spark plugs er9eh ngk iridiums, earth grading kit fitted, new carb rubbers, and finally the tyga RT kit with a couple of carbon items.

Zippy, you can probably try via moriwakiman as he helped other before for parts from japan.
Bought mine years ago via family who resides in Asia.

That's cool. I'm friends with Drew on Facebook so I'll give him a shout once I'm ready to order.

Managed to get some time free for doing some maintenance on my NC's last week. Whilst out on my first ride on the RR I found the handling and ride really well. The carbs were now near perfect, nice powerband low to high revs, with very good pickup, no dips. But one thing wasn't up to my liking and that was the fluids. Before I put her into storage end 2010 I did refreshed all the fluids and filters. Meaning these were only used for 65kms in 2.5 years :whistle:

So I have refreshed her with new Castrol power rs 4t 10w40 oil, a new oil filter, new brake fluids, new cooling fluid, etc.

I bought loads more 4ltr cans of Castrol (green is old can Castrol GPS to put the old oil in it) as I had a good deal at just over 30 euro per can...
Image

Here is my other NC in current state (she will be wearing the RT livery when the time is right :smile:)...
Image

Also, I did get the carbs out again of the "RT" as it needed an ultrasonic cleaning again... but now proper at home with my 4ltr unit, and have 4 x genuine honda carbs gasket kits ready to replace all gaskets...
Image

On Saturday I managed to crack my right lower fairing on the RR :( while undoing the bolts of the lower fairings. I did support the lower fairing before undoing the bolts of their brackets but it slipped of my support in split second. Feck me! :cry: Used some woven glass fiber resins to avoid further crack in that fairing and painted it gloss white after it hardenend in 20 minutes.

Image

Still have another pair of genuine RR panels boxed. But more genuine rvf panels in good/nice/perfect/new condition is always welcome ;)

So if anyone here have some genuine rvf RR panels in good nick for sale...just let me know.
