Howdy... This week i've been mostly stripping down my little nc30.
While ordering oodles of parts to make it look alot sweeter !
Found out that rebuilding carbs in the kitchen makes it stinks for days.... So instead of chucking back in the shed, i stuck it in the bathroom which now has a slightly smell of petrol and carb cleaner !!
Also trying to respray forks in freezing wind fecking stupid,cold toes and standing outside with a hairdryer trying to dry it is a bad idea. Even though the forks look 100 times better !

Things bought/borrowed/waiting on /or stolen....
Rear hugger
hrc rear break pipe
hrc coolent bottle
front and rear paddock stands
Gold bar ends
gold lever set
New chain
Polishing kit
etc.....

Over the next two/three weeks....
Fit every thing back together Praying
Carb tune
respray wheels
touch up everything scratched
Polish frame Cool
Rolling road
New tires
and sort out that fecking exhaust !!!! Sick
Plus everything else !!!

Heres some photos so far !

buy a new master cylinder for it mate. the trend is to get a r1 master cylinder they fit very easily on. the difference in braking is almost two fold from what people say.

also if your going to do a carbtune consider a fuel pump to go with it.

I think some people on greybike400 put r1 front ends on aswell.
And some swap the brake calipers for cbr ones.
Was thinking of getting a tyga backend, but its alot of money to through at the back end Confused .
I do fancy what some have done by either putting a r6 or cbr600rr tail unit on.
The carbtune thingy i got was off my brother when he changed from a carb vfr750 to an aprillia millia with fuel injection ! Bargin !!! Wink
Any one know what size of scocket is needed for the rear wheel nut ? Its a biggy and i aint got one that big enough ! Wink
Time to pop back down halfrauds again !

BTW 10bhp !!! With a double bubble,hrc brake pipe, gay coloured seat that should at least give me another 20 bhp !!!

Cagiva mito tail units really suit the bike. I saw a red/white.blue one with the tail unit painted to match and it looked really nice. Tidier than stock, but still in proportion to the bike.

Hope all goes well Thumbs Up

Fitted the hugger today,carbs back on.
Tried getting the top yolk cover off to respray, but the little swine is locked on there solid !!!!!
Still waiting on bits Confused
The red exhaust is now gold !!!! Very tarty !!!
The person/s before me who had the bike done some thing to the frame on one side of the bike which looks like some nasty chemical stuff has eaten into the top coating of the frame.
I knew this when i bought the bike,but thinking i could polish it out.
Tried it to day with the kit, but no joy.Got it looking cleaner but the marks are still on there. Sad

Anyone got photos of a nc30 with a hugger on ? Both sides ?
I'm wondering where to route the brake line too ?

How deep is the mark on the frame? If it's only a couple of millimetres deep, it will polish out. Any deeper and you're up a certain creek without a paddle.

I don't think the huggers available for the nc30 look that great, also Shaun had to rip his off before a trackday because it was rubbing on the tyre.

I'll get a photo on here when i can see my bike. Its like under a foot of snow ! Both wheels are off,and up on paddock stands in this bloody weather !
It does kinda look like a close gap if i can remember,but i'm not too keen on that theres a huge "window" to see the chain.

Popped into the local powder coaters after my rear wheel came out shit after me respraying it.(Front and exhaust look good).

Between £60-£80 For the two wheels and other bits (basic flat colour) And the Gold she just said "it will take me a while to work out the price !" ,"But it will be expensive !) Blow that !
Plus those price's dont even include sandblasting ! Shocked
I'll phone around some more places,if not i'll respray the wheel again.

New pics.....
Chain arrived today,so that will go on the bike on monday.
Still got to do the spark plugs,radiators,fairings,chain,sort out "p" clips for attaching rear brake cable to hugger and balance the carbs.
Hopefully next month i'll have some spare money lying around for a new set of tires !

Just put on new levers,hugger,bar ends resprayed the wheels and can and finally after a year put the braided pipe on the rear brake !
And also resprayed the forks. Wink

Wanted a bronze type gold,but fancied the fiat coupe bronze/gold flip instead.In the shade it looks bronze/brown and in the sun it looks gold.Might grow on me ! Confused
Also managed to respray the wheelie bins wheels as well !!!
"pimp my bin !" Razz

Im not a fan of your exhaust. Partly because the rivit straps have been painted aswell as the main can material.

Other than that it's looking well and good luck with the rest of your project.

Thumbs Up

Doesn't matter if you're not using the right polish. What are you using at the moment?

i didnt use any polishing mops!!

I had to use some paint stripper to remove the Adanoised(spellling) of the frame and then i used some wet & dry, i started off with 120grit then moved up to 1500grit, but with the swingarm i didnt have to use the paint stripper, just use wet & dry.

Try that and if it doesnt work use the mop.

I baught a mop to tackle my frame from the nec and i had 2 different compound it depends what compiund you use, you the finest compound you got, and go from there if you want anyother information PM me and ill gladly help

P.s if you are going to use wet & dry you will wish that you had never started because it does take time and it will remove several layers of your fingers, But it is toatally worth it

Good Luck
Thanks Matt

Anodising is a process that builds up a layer of salt onto the metal's surface. With aluminium, they strip the aluminium oxide off, then use the anodising procedure to create a new, thicker layer of oxide.

Wet and dry all the way, finishing with rubbing compound then autosol Thumbs Up If you get to a point where your bike simply will not get any shinier, pm craigs23, he is the ultimate polishing whore...

Jack

PS Nice bling on the frame Cool
