Looks great from the first time I went and checked her out mate. You have done a fucken brilliant job.
gamgee
10th December 2006, 09:56
yeah cheers for going to look at it, probably wouldn't have bought it if you hadn't, so a big thanks for that, thanks to all the others the gave me advice while I was repairing it as well, I think I had help from most of the NC30 owners on here, so now you get to see the finished job

A lot of time, effort and dedication has gone into keeping a VFR in fabulous condition. Well done mate!
The "before" piccie certainly shows the amount of effort that has gone into her!:rockon:

yeah I didn't keep a track of how many hours I personally spent on it, but I reckon it'd be at the very least about 50 hours for me then another 50 by my dad the mechanic who got me the hook ups for the painting, helped me rebuild the forks, and fit the chain, sorted getting the cracked sump fixed, and another oil leak fixed
gamgee
11th December 2006, 18:01
well I opened her up for the first time, hit 9000rpm on a nice quiet road, and was doing a fairly decent speed in first gear, very fun to ride, and sound soo so good

Yeah pretty much my dream bike... JEALOUS!!! How much better is an NC30 than an NC24? (sorry bout taking it off topic)
gamgee
11th December 2006, 20:24
heaps :yes:
in other words i have no idea

11th December 2006, 20:27
Right. ;)
Anyone want a kidney or an FXR for $5,990?
gamgee
11th December 2006, 20:48
how about this, and then fix it up:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Other/auction-81112557.htm
wouldn't pay more than about $1300 for it
front fairings from justfairings.co.nz $650 rear fairing $275
or you could buy one of these sets off trademe, which may sort the subframe issue:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Frames-bodywork/auction-80396991.htm
painting around $800ish
subframe = no idea
Indicators maybe $100

Yeah would be a good project, but I'm working like 50 hours a week til end of Jan, when I go up to Aucks to study. Plus I probably won't have my full by then, as I still haven't done the defensive thingy, (and I'm amazed at how fast a CBR250 R is, so probably not quite ready for a VFR). Could be a mid-year purchase I think, once tax rebates come in...
BTW, wanna load up some sound clips of the VFR running?

it sounds like a sewing machine at idle cause of the cam gears
then higher up it starts sounding like a ferrari
haha sorry I can't be bothered doing sound clips cause my cellphone would probably distort it and make it sound crap

Lol fair enough, I guess I'll just have to ride out to Dunedin one day to hear it in person...
