Are they NC21 or NC24 motors?

I couldn't tell the model looking at the engine but the dash in the box makes me think NC24.

speaking of NC30 project bits I & I have:

A frame with VIN and plate which has rego on hold.
A front end (needs work but I think all there and usable.... forks, triples, wheel, axle, brakes clipons.
a subframe
a swingarm complete.
at least one complete loom
fuel tank black/red: quite usable.
a front fairing: aftermarket and not pattern: it kind of looks ZXR750-ish. good condition though not mint.
a single seat tail fairing with cutouts for lights. I think it is just fairings but dont quote me (NC30).
a rider seat.
two fish bins full of bits.... not motor bits they have all gone. I will spread that shit out on the garage floor and see what is there.
I dont know what happened to the 18 inch rear rim I had: I may have sold or given it away.... otherwise I could advertise it as a roller.

Aaaaanyway. I am going to start putting all that shit on tardme this weekend but if any of you want anything specific sing out and I will have a look.

Hi Henry

Would you sell the swing arm hub/axle unit seperately? (They fit my 750, wanna turn mine into a single nut wheel fitting instead of the 4 nut*)

I think I would need the brake caliper braket as well

....if your keen, I will do my research and confirm the parts required

*Really wanna put a Duc rear wheel on her to allow for better choice in tyre's (current tyre profile has limited tyre options)

THANKS HENRY!!

Damn it! He has a set of pipes that've been cut, would have been perfect if they were NC30..

Hmm, I have almost an engine in my garage amongst other things... These would be handy but I doubt the missus would be happy to have more parts lying around lol.

On another note, I have a RVF gear set amongst my parts (they came with the bike) does anyone know if they are a straight fit into the NC24 gearbox? I would think not but it would be nice to shorten that uber long first gear down a bit.

If anyone has some clutch bits I'd be keen. Haven't taken to mechanic yet but online guesses point to replacement plates and maybe basket? as when I put i first gear with clutch in engine revs drop slightly, as well as generally hard to change gears 75% of time...

clutch parts are wear items like brake pads. measure the stack height and see if it is in spec.. If not your steel plates are probably OK but the fibre plates are fucked.

While you are there get a new clutch cable too.

Complete imported (not vinned) NC30 that's been sitting in the back of some chaps shed for awhile.
Be a good deal if it goes cheap.

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.
