I have a set of Fibreglass NC30 fairings here that i'm not using. Kinda rough but complete and a lot easier to repair then the standard road fairings. P.M me if you want more details.

cheers im chasing up a race bike now but ill definatly talk 2 you if i dont get it, so what about a engine rebuild just a guess, a ball park figure $500? $1000?, $1500? $2000?

**nc30vfr400** · 26th February 2007, 17:48

yea i seen that just waiting for him 2 get back to me, got the cash just a matter of finding the right bike (story of our lives i guess) any 1 seen this bike who cares to pass comment on its condition?

Had a friend who rebuilt one about 5 years ago, cost him about $2500 doing all the assembly work himself. Good fun with the gear driven cams that motor... especially if you get the heads planed

Didn't seem particularly difficult, just a whole heap of tiny parts.

jesus. a spare engine is $800 i thort itd be a good idea to pick up a spare and get it rebuilt incase someting goes pop in mine. the bike i was looking ats been sold so guess ill be deregistering the nc30 and getting some fairings and throwing money at it haha hmmmmmm. mish

**HDTboy** · 27th February 2007, 11:50

I'd just take it out and race it, if it goes pop (unlikely) then fix it

You mean a 15 year old prethrashed second hand possibly dubious engine is $800... But yeah, don't spend the coin until you really have to.

Don't rebuild it. Just get the valve shims done plus the basics like change the oil and filter, clean those carbs, change the air filter and go for it.

No reason to spend a packet on your first go at racing.
