Posted: 03:39 - 28 Oct 2013 Post subject: Honda CBR400RR NC23 road to track build |
|
|
Back in 2009 I bought an NC23 ready for when I passed my test, it sat idle until April 2010. I kept myself busy tidying it up and giving it a once over service wise, then used it for a year until I got my NC30.

I went through several different exhausts, stock with carbon can, stock with stumpy ART, stainless with both, mild steel Moriwaki EMU and finally an aluminium DIC system. All of these have since been sold after I picked up a full BEET system. Aside from that I didnt really mess about woth it too much.

I've stripped the road gear off, so far saving over 5kg.
https://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/sam_billing_91/CBR400RR%20NC23/DSCF0370.jpg
Here's a proposed spec list for when I'm done;
- Beet titanium exhaust system with Nassert alloy end can
- Fibreglass stock shape bodywork, clear double bubble screen
- NSR 17in rear wheel, matching NC30/29/35 front (unsure on tyres)
- Shortened velocity stacks and foam air filter
- Samco hoses
- NC30 fork lowers to allow...
- NC30 4 pot Nissin calipers with EBC Prolite discs and HH pads
- Fancy rear shock (Nitron likely) ____________________ '84 TS50X, '91 TZR125, '89 CBR400RR, '91 VFR400R NC30, '98 R1

Swapped the front wheel, waiting on delivery of the rear. I've got a bunch of parts on order, gaskets, bearings, fork seals/bushes.

Got my freshly powder coated NSR250 rear wheel through, ordered cush drive donuts and some fresh wheel bearings. Going to have one of my nice fronts sent away to match up now! Gaskets will be on the way monday, but need £110 for a clutch kit as I remember it slipped above 11k ____________________ '84 TS50X, '91 TZR125, '89 CBR400RR, '91 VFR400R NC30, '98 R1

Tomorrows list of jobs include doing the fork leg swap, cleaning the engine up ready for when I have the money to get some new coolant hoses.
Got an email yesterday, I have wheel bearings and cush drive rubbers arriving monday, a full clutch rebuild kit, sump gasket and timing cover gasket arriving tuesday and a rear tyre arriving wednesday. Hopefully I can get it all together and bike shaped by wednesday night! ____________________ '84 TS50X, '91 TZR125, '89 CBR400RR, '91 VFR400R NC30, '98 R1

Got this reserved for when I have more money. Got all kinds of adjustment including the all important ride height to compensate for the lost half inch from fitting the 17 rear.

Cush drive rubbers in, struggled a bit to begin with, then remembered I have a big tub of bearing grease. After that it was a doddle, also got wheel bearings in, but forgot pics.

Good tip for next time is to mask off the areas you don't want any powder coat
I'll be refurbing mine like this once I have done the shakedown and know the bike is all working properly and as it should.
Then I can make it look less tatty. ____________________ covent.gardens: lihp is my most favourite member ever |

The most together its been in nearly 3 years! Yesterday was mostly gasket scraping then fitting the sump and timing covers with gaskets obtained from GF Racing. Also got the new clutch pack in, after extensive head scratching before borrowing the use of a buzzgun to get the clutch nut off!
Today I just need to nip the clutch nut up and replace the gasket and I'm sorted once I remember where I hid the dipstick!

Got 7 of the old crusty studs out but the eighth is being a barstard and refusing to budge, so tomorrow will go and get a can of gas for my blowtorch and get some heat into it, see if it changes its mind then!
Mocked up the pipes, think I need to bend the can brackets, it sits round too far and looks odd. Failing that I'll just fit my spare carbon oval

I have an NC29 front wheel and discs for you. It looks like shit and needs a new bearing but the discs appear good. ____________________ Triumph Daytona 675 track bike + girlfriend's Honda Hornet 600

Buying the RVF kind of pushed this to the back of my mind, tomorrow will hopefully see a push to have both ends sorted suspension wise, race shock in and fork bottoms swapped and the NC30 calipers on
Will be waiting for next friday to come round so I can order the matching front tyre and some coolant hoses so I can get it running again for the first time in 3 years ____________________ '84 TS50X, '91 TZR125, '89 CBR400RR, '91 VFR400R NC30, '98 R1
