Advice please

(note, above engine has 77k on the clock)

...this a good deal?
...do I "need" a replacement engine (Mine is running strong and only has 130,000k on her...barely run in for a VFR lol)

I do however need a new PCB for the dash(I fixed mine with glue, wires and good luck!)...and the headers are required...and I am planning to take her off the road and do complete break down, mod and rebuild when funds permit(currently collecting the parts...LOTS! of parts )...is this a cheaper option than a refresh of the current donk?

tempted but...advice?


thanks all

Anyone got some nc30 valve shims?

What thickness do you need? I could lend you some if you need to work out sizes required seeing you are in Hamilton.

Cheers

When I'm done rebuilding my RVF motor (again) I'll have a bunch of bits left over. Give me a shout when you work out what you need.

Thanks Ecko and HDC - given it's my daily commuter bike, I imagine if I pull it apart its going to need putting back together again before it can be ridden, with new gaskets (?or gasket goo?) in that case, would I be better to take it to AJ at motohaus, get his opinion and then get parts based on that/depending what he has in stock?

[Icemaestro]

also can't see clutch plates on there? just the springs and gasket

Poor VFR has been touched inappropriately

Nah, looks great. Like a mature woman in a sexy new dress.

I actually think the cheapo K conversion kits look a little better than most of the Tyga ones (especially the tails). Pity the quality is so shit though.

Apart from being a little low in the front, and perhaps a tail tidy, that bike looks pretty farkin cool I reckon.

I have a frame with tags and rego on hold if you CBF with the revin process....

I must get serious about getting rid of that shit.

Only photo I have currently, but this is what replaced the old 250.
I've had it around 2 months, and I'm loving it more and more each time I ride it!

1992 400, had done 51200km when I picked it up and now it gets taken out daily!
Minor faring issues, but I never expected perfection. Its in very good condition overall and I couldn't have picked a better upgrade!

The back half is OK. I like the undertail exhaust with the single sided swing arm. Very purdy and very tidy.

But the front half is fugly. The headlights/screen/very front bit is from a v-tec VFR800, and just looks like the rest of it has melted a bit.

Plus, cheapy malaysian knock off fairings on something as beautiful as an NC30 just feels wrong.

*Edit, Nice bike GM. Always lusted after one of those in that colour scheme. Good score!

About time you got a decent bike!

If you spend some time putting the fairings on you can get the gaps to close up nicely. Although that is assuming they still have the clips/tabs in place.

I like it and if I had the money I would buy it , finish it and ride it..

[Icemaestro]

seconds to that...wife didn't say anything when I said can I (I did the beg for forgiveness thing with the current VFR and spent a week in the dog house;-))
