    NC30 VFR400 Project

    For sale is my unfinished NC30 project. Need to go within the next month as I'm moving and can't take the bike with me.

    Bike is almost done, I've done the valve clearances, fresh oil and given the carbs a clean and check over all with the assistance of a bike mechanic.
    Had the bike running recently and sounded great, ran very well and rev'd cleanly. Got a boner just listening to it! Needs tyres, a good brake overhaul and bolting on a few bits to finish.

    Unfortunately there was a leak on a small O ring on the carb which we had to pull the carbs apart and fix, in the process I broke a small plastic bit which joins the fuel feed together, I haven't the time to order it at the mo but I can provide info on where to buy it from.
    Otherwise all the bits are there to throw it together. I was going to use it as a pre '89 race bike but just never got it finished in time as I was heavily reliant on more skilled helpers to assist me.
    Sorry for the rubbish pics as my garage is a bit hectic with me moving away, included is a Haynes Manual and a rear stand which is currently pinned for a NC24 but you can easily machine up or purchase the correct size for the NC30.

    It's a steal at this price, someone buy this bike and get it out there where it belongs.

    Yeah my phone exploded the second I put it up on the facebook. Bloody good buy at that price and it's gone to someone who know's how to build a race bike which pleases me greatly.
    No use sitting in my shed while I try to develop the skills to work on bikes the same age as me lol.

    ask him if he wants mine as well with all the fruit. I have completely lost interest.
