Looks like about a month's work, give or take. Good luck with the resto.

Those pipes will need repairing, happens to all NC30's. The whole system is stainless steel except that bit, which overtime just rusts off. Take it to an exhaust repair place, I got mine repaired with stainless steel collars for about £20

Erm wouldn't it be worth trying to find the cause of the tapping in your engine /before/ you spend lots of time trying to tart it up Confused

.......thinking about it........ mine used to knock like a bitch. Does it get quieter when warm?

Mine used to knock when my exhuast had rusted away like yours.

Sweet

I bought this off Ebay for 12.50, it's a castle nut for the engine nuts, and the swingarm nut. So if the engine swap does take place, I can now do so Very Happy

Also had a quick rub down with WD40 on my downpipes:

And won all this on eBay for £22.50 Very Happy

Bargain!

Rear Sprocket

RH Pillion Hanger

Choke Lever

Switch gear on right hand side (Start button, Kill Switch etc)

Will clean up the yolk and paint it then replace mine hopefully Smile

You'll need something stronger than WD40 if you want those pipes to shine.

Yeah I know, I'm just wearing down the layers of shit that are on it first Smile

white spirit is excellent and very cheap too

A tip, in future please don't post as many pictures.

A lot of them aren't necessary, and even on broadband it takes a while for them all to load, and everytime a new one does, the post I'm reading jumps down off my screen.

re: the exhaust, I had a new stainless collar put onto my bandit downpipes for £20, was absolutely perfect aswell.

TFR.

gets all the road shit off everything, ready for shampoo/polish. probably save you alot of work.

I'm not saying pictures aren't good, I love looking at pictures. But did we really need 2 pictures of your dirty can? And a picture of /each/ dirty rearset?

I like seeing them once, but when I have to load them /every/ single time I open this post. It's annoying.

All the best with the rebuild anyway!

not black downpipes, that would look rubbish IMO. Get them shiny and would make the bike look much better.

Black Rear-sets sound a plan, maybe some aftermarket ones??
