get it welded - won't cost you bugger all compared to a new part
my new buctet of shite

so I just ordered a (genuine honda) rear disc and rear bearings from the UK, along with air filter, oil filter, plugs, handgrips and bar-ends.
$600 worth with shipping!
So seeing as I'll be playing mechanic for a weekend coming soon (60,000km!), does anyone have a dead motor around? If I'm super-duper keen I might drop the motor out and have a look at the state of 1st and 2nd gear, but if I don't like what I see I'm not sure where I might find parts..... rvf has a different ratio to vfr for first gear, but it might be the selector drum or one of the forks giving me grief (1st-2nd shifts are getting crunchier, pops out of 2nd into first in 1% of shifts, neutral light crapping out - something is giving a metal sliding/scraping feel through the stick and I think it's the selector drum)
tbh I don't see myself dropping the motor unless I have bits on hand - that said I just spent $600 for brake disc (needed, but it was passing wofs regardless) and bearings (not needed, doing "seeing as I'm down there") and peace of mind would be nice - can do valve shims and re-seat valves while I'm at it.... just if bits need replacing I don't want to wait weeks for them to arrive - and not that many bits are available! http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-rvf400rr-...slist/E14.html
One in every ten shifts from first to second results in hitting neutral. Every other gear is smooth but first to second can feel rough. Does the NC30 not have a cassette type gearbox?
Any of you cunts going to be at the motoTT day at Taupo, march 16th ?
I want to cane around with another half decent rider on a stock vfr. That's assuming of course that any of you cunts are half decent riders hahahaha. And that your bike is stock.
Come on sissys. GET THERE.
