VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

I wonder if japamart would be sneaky and chuck a gift invoice in there or something if you asked....as they are second hand goods...

They asked whether to declare the value of auction or auction + fees for insurance purposes. I went with auction + fees. I think I still would have been over the $400 limit if I just went with auction value.

Why would you want that bike? It looks stupid. Stock shape is best shape

[Icemaestro]

It was the shipping that put you over, some places will let you declare it a gift though

I agree, it was the cheapest one on there today however..one went for 2.5k us a little while back...

I wish I'd thought of that before I bought my car...

Yup. a completely different motor to the RC30 too: camdrive on one side of the block instead of in the middle, EFI etc.

Probably a better road bike but I remember reading that the RC30 was a better race bike out of the crate.

But when an average condition RC30 goes in UnZud for over $30k, and if these are anything like OK, they are within reach of the working man.

[Icemaestro]

After black preferably! But anything is better than nothing.

is MC21 the same? ( I am assuming you want an NC30 front rim). I have one but am undecided about selling it. I am going to get rid of almost all my NC30 spares except crash spares, which a front rim kind of is.

What else do you have? Let me know when you want to sell the track bike

Pretty sure the MC21 rim does not fit.

[Icemaestro]

I could swap to my white front and sell the black one, might just need a hand to change it over...also do the bearings sit in the wheel itself (for both front and rear)? Is there any way of checking the integrity of bearings If I am swapping rims?
Also if you have the socket for the rear :-p...

Mmm spare parts...

Two bearings one each side of the wheel. Not sure how you check them properly but you could hear mine move around with the wheel off. I got the shop to replace them yesterday. $20 for bearings and $30 for labour. There is no bearing on the rear wheel it is in the hub.

I don't have a socket for the rear but I will be getting one at some stage.

track bike runs but desperately needs a tune/time spent making it run better-er. I was told to repack the zorst because it was too noisy (straight pipe FTW) and that and a standard airbox lid are strangling it I think.

It starts and runs but doesnt pull cleanly. I have a set of new plugs for it and need to spend time on it. In terms of spares I have a couple of fish bins full of stuff. Plus a frame and swingarm (with VIN tag and rego on hold!), a front rim, sundry brake parts including some usable (I think) front discs, a couple of sets of forks (both of which need the stanchions rechroming) and a set of not standard road fairings. Also a spare singleseat fibreglass tail unit, a complete road wiring loom, blahdeblah. Not much motor parts though there are a few airbox lids and some HRC clone short/long inlet trumpets.

It is all out in a storage unit at present. When I get my garage sorted I am going to bring it all back, and sell all I don't want and possibly the bike too. I've done two trackdays in the last two years both on my road bike! Fuck knows what it cost, or what it's worth....

piss poor I know.

[sil3nt]

Oh yeah also after a 14t sprocket for a 525 (stock) chain.
