I second that, KK is the one too talk to, if he doesnt know about it, it isnt worth knowing

I may have a NC-35 project for sale soon, but won't be til I get back into the country, which I don't know when that will be. I was hoping in November for the Nationals, but may not be til February.

have you been to 400greybike (http://www.400greybike.co.uk/) they were originally set up to discuss nc30's. though the sites future is uncertain. there is a lot of usefull info there.

for sure 400greybike has loads of info, but by the sounds of things hes actually after the bike first up. Unfortunatly i dont have a spare to give however if/when you do find one you need particular parts im more then happy to see where i can help.

Nice idea there Death, sounds wicked, the only idea i had for when i blow mine was to put an XR500A in it and cruise about like that.

Awesome. I've been toying with that idea myself(except the supercharger bit). Is there much engineering involved. We've put a highly tuned CBR600f3 engine in 400 frame and it was a weapon, til it went bang. Now it's got a f2 engine but we haven't ridden it since.

Wouldn't installing a bigger engine (like the VFR750) in the tiny NC30/35 frame make the great handling characteristics go all bung with the extra weight? Can the small rear tyre handle the extra power?

while fitting the super charger you may as well make it 840cc, theres a conversion kit you can get from america. Guy with a setup (race) vfr was doing it last time I looked (vfrforums) so that he could not just beat the 748 but put more distance between them. His words, dont know if its bs but i would like a 840 :D

Yep. On the CBR we changed the wheels, the forks, springs, triple clamps, and stuck in an Ohlins shock. The only thing left of the original 400 was the frame and swingarm, I think.
Dunno why we feel the need to always try and build a better bike. It just makes you poor.

Seem to recall a guy racing a CBR400RR with a 600 motor fitted in Isle of Man, finished 3rd, naturally he was disqualified :mellow:

The front hanging down down bits on the frame have to be cut off, and wider/longer ones welded back on, but the rear mounts line up ok. There is a lot of squeezing/swearing/forcing involved with carbs, airbox etc. The tank had to be modified for the bigger airbox.
Someone has put a fireblade engine in a 400 frame, and from what I remember it was a bit of a handfull. :eek:

Finishing third on a 600 to the 400's is bit embarassing innit. I thought it was a FZR600 in a 400. But yeah, we thought about doing that to see if anyone would notice. But we're too honest. :whistle:

dunno too much aobut benefits of putting VFR750 engine in 400 ? as the 750 frame is much sim and everythin fits properly. I think these days doing the old put bigger engine in smaller bikes frame is getting less and less worth the trouble as their frames are so light and similar in weight anyway, but nevertheless we still do it :D roll on my XR500 in XR200 frame.

... roll on my XR500 in XR200 frame.I had a CB250RS with an XR500 donk. It wasn't super flash; I think it had the wrong carb, so I had lotsa fun trying to get it jetted right. Had crap tyres, so didn't handle great either, but it was LOUD and FUN and did monster wheelies.:headbang:

Only the one? I would have thought that it was up to a couple of dozen by now. Especially for all the work you do on his bikes everytime he crashes or catches on fire. :laugh: :apint:
