First post - standard colourscheme pictures

[regcheeseman]

After months of looking I bought a NC30 from fleabay, 296 miles away. It was rough, had been down the road and was cheap. It's a late N model with 15km on the clock

When I finally got it home, it's been ripped to pieces, Ive re-sleeved the yanagawa??? end can, stripped the forks to replace a seal and found that one had been straightened.

The front wheel is from an early model, as are the forks and the motor isn't original but runs ok and valve clearances are spot on.

all parts replaced, straightened, shot blast, re-finished, greased and carassed where necessary and I'm getting close to doing the bodywork...hence this post.

It's a almost stock red and white paint scheme and was a good job pre accident.
Tank is scrapped,seat unit fine but scratched, tailight plastic infill panel missing, spare top fairing supplied with the bike in grey, fairing sides gouged and scratched.

I quite fancy RC30 colours but the wheels are black and that's how I like them, so are there any pictures of stock colourschemes on here that I can use for inspiration, if I get no inspiration it will be flat black.

Cheers dudes!

This page shows a little picture of all the NC30 colours. Pick one and then I'm sure someone can post larger pictures.

If you want to stay original and keep the black wheels there are only two options NH-177M or NH-196

If you go get a cuppa tea and then browse the gallery section I would guess there is something in there that might give you an idea.

welcome to the site.

when you say older front wheel - we talking a 3 spoke off a cbr400?

lets see some pics of it as it stands :D

Older front wheel? Well I'm guessing it cam from the same donor as the forks and it was originally white but it maybe from the same era

lets see some pics of it as it stands

None at the mo, besides it's sort of swings at the mo - hanging from the rafters, a frame and motor with a few bit's attached.
Here is the high quality original ebay pic, showing the side that hadn't been down the road


First thing I did before I registered was dig through the gallery but found nothing really apart from some real nice bikes.

I want to ride my bike and not worry too much about the cosmetics, so maybe a matt black/gloss black combination scheme is the way to go....

Though I really love the NH-177M scheme - any more pictures...

Where is the best place for graphics?

Finally rolled her out of the garage today.....few bits to tidy (ripped seat and dodgy exhaust bracket)
Was unsure of what colours to use but I've created a replica of a different kind

Bit of loving care (and minimal spend ) here's my new toy...





Should look good in the garage alongside the Golf (when it's finished)
