It's not pretty. I'm thinking some kind of filler for the dents and a high heat carbon sticker wrap would make it look respectable.

Is it riveted shut? Ie could you get in to pop them out? And/or a suction dent puller outer thing?

Mine has a Zorst muffler on it, looks identical to that one in the photo. Sounds pretty damn nice to my ear. Can grab a few photos or a quick video of it and put it up on Youtube if you're curious as to what it looks/sounds like installed...

The muffler is welded up at both ends.

I've got a big box of NC30 fairing pieces in varying conditions and colours (some painted, some original, all in varying states of cracked/broken mounts etc.) and I'm going to have to move them to a new house with less space soon.

Is there any interest in stuff like that or is it just chuck-out material? Don't really want anything for it, just seems a shame to throw them out, given that my first bike was cobbled together from pieces in worse condition than most of these...

I am keen in anything that can be fixed up for some track fairings.

**Vinz0r** · 18th August 2014, 20:48

I'd be interested in some to mess about with if they're going cheap.

Doesn't look like the dents will pop out very easily. I think the only way to get it looking nice will be some filler and a covering of some kind.
Apparently 3M Di-Noc vinyl works quite well on mufflers; the heat doesn't destroy it.

Just re sleeve it in stainless or look here http://www.kilwellfibretube.co.nz/pr...uide/index.htm for a sleeve to slide over top.

It's not really worth enough to spend that kind of coin restoring it. I'm a poor student on a budget so will probably have some fun coming up with a cheap solution

Those are all the fairing pieces that I've got. The originals came as spares with the bike, the painted silver parts are the leftovers from a full replacement under insurance when the bike got skittled in a car park. It's a pretty mixed bag, really...

Send me a PM if you're interested in any of them.

I've also got a good working CDI unit if anyone needs one. Pulled it out when I put the Ignitech programmable one in. Can swap it back in and prove that it's working if needed.

Edit: Fairing pieces are gone. CDI is still available.

Anyone even slapped NC30 fairings on a 24? I imagine there would be some chopping involved... These would be perfect for racing this summer.

I'm picking them up on Saturday

And I would say it is more trouble than it is worth trying to fix them to an NC24.

Vin this could be up your alley http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=769764325

Yeah pretty much my thoughts. I've decided to run with the fairings I've got and in the future if/when I decide to put it back on the road I can just get some nice shiny ones of Ebay.
