Finding a cheap NC30 isn't the problem, it's finding one worth having that is.

As you can see in this thread, an NC30 can be turned from a cheap bike into a nice machine if you spend a fair chunk of cash on it. Bear in mind the work gone on so far, and the engine and suspension haven't had a mention yet.

This is gonna be cracking!

But jeez I bet you've spent a lot of money! That jacket and lid alone must be the best part of £400!

Powder coating and spraying must be about the same! Without the random goodies.

Lovely bike though, I'd love one if I wasn't a lanky freak that would dwarf it like a mini moto.

Finish it off, for me?

Done alot over the weekend again.

Got my carbs back from NRP (less said about that the better). Got the carbs installed and tank tap on, ready to fire and then notice taps leaking fuel around the rivet parts Sad

I'm going to get a secondhand one off ebay.

Anyway got the rest of the panels on and new seat etc.

Oh the tank isn't on correct as i have to remove it again.
