Alarm bells ringing...

Post by MrLucky »

Ok so I am due to drive out and do a 500+ mile round trip to pick up this mess in 7 hours. According to the seller it is an NC24. So why has it got solid discs on the front and what looks like an 18 inch front wheel and why is there no fuel tap on the left hand side of the tank?

Help me here...

Something funny with the tank for sure....doesn't look like either an NC21, 24 or 30.... front discs possibly the owner had fitted replacement NC21 discs by mistake? Good luck.

Are the tanks from the NC21 and NC24 the same? Could I use an NC21 tank on this one? TBH I don't even know if this is an NC24 or an NC21 with some NC24 bits on...

Both the 21 and 24 have the twisty fuel tap...not sure about the tank. The rest is pretty much a 24.

dear god that is the biggest bitsa piece of junk ive seen in a long while. putting that back to near stock will cost way more than you can buy a decent bike for.

Tank isnt standard, and yes 21/24 tanks fit.

subframe has been messed about with, discs are non standanrd, front wheel doesnt look right either.
