My NC24
So here she is, the beast that's been giving me a headache since I bought it from an ebay pikey the last month.
I've just realised that I've already spent £900+ on this bike
and Unfortunatly, as described in the workshop area, the exhaust collector rotten and needs to be replaced + fork seals. 
I've still not had a chance to ride it yet because of the starting issues I've had and now because of how loud the exhaust is. I guess over the coming months you'll find out much more about all the frustration involved in owning an old unloved NC24.

It looks like it is all there and it also looks fairly clean and tidy.It could easily be a nice bike.I would persevere now because they are great to ride

Re: My NC24
The plastics look ok mate so try to sort the collector box out. (Fork seals are an easy job) It would be a shame to not get it on the road after spending that amount... I have prob. spent 3 times that on mine though, but i think its worth it..

Re: My NC24
Looks like it would scrub up well with some TLC.
If you plan on keeping it for a while you shouldn't be too worried about how much you spend on it, you'll get your fun out of it.

Re: My NC24
if you are looking for a collector for your 24 talk to rcv4 on here he made one up in stainless for the 24 im restoring and the workmanship is second to none.

Re: My NC24
Are those plastics original or chinese copys?
The origianl ones have 3 bolt holes across the side fairings..

Re: My NC24
Yes the fairings are original, although someone has patched over a hole on... the other bit where the fairing slots into. Does that make sense? you can see it in the photo.
