This guy may be interested: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-992204545.htm

He recently took my $1 res NC30 and told me to call him if I wanted to sell my other one. He seems to like collecting them....

Will do.

I was watching yours but completely forgot about it.

If anyone knows of any parts bikes let me know

Nice! Stick with the original tail though I reckon, skywards pointing SF tails look fugly on most bikes, and even more so on ones 20+ years old.

I purchased some ali a while back to remake my subframe, just as a lightweight stocker. But had too much other shit on, might try and get back to it over xmas as well...

The actual tail sity pretty low on the back wheel giving it that "whale" look. The new subframe holds the gsxr tail fairing so that it is roughly the same angle as a modern sprotbike.

That being saif I am playing with the idea of a stumpy tail fairing to look like the new MV augusta's. Not quite sure yet.

Currently have stripped out the wiring loom so will be making a new "cut down" version that I can hide within the frame nicely.

This looks nice

Good price. Should weed out those that are likely to fuck with it.

Anyone looking to buy a 1988 NC24? Will be up on Trademe soon but I thought I would post on here get the fanatics interested.

Been used as a track bike for less than a year, will come with road gear either on the bike or in a box depending on what the buyer wants to use it for, reg on hold. Selling her as I want a bucket to go racing on.

Recent work:
Complete front brake overhaul from master cyl to disks.
Fork seals and new oil as well as inspected to check forks are in good shape, they are.
Sport demons, still pretty new as they have nice even wear from only even being run on the track.
Braided lines (will come with bike for the right price, otherwise I will be chucking the rubber ones back on).

Engine runs beautifully, never once skipped a beat while I've been putting it through it's paces on track. Starts first pop from cold.

Fairings aren't in the greatest shape as it had a wee spill on the RHS, I've had them welded up which cost an arm and a fucking leg to do but not painted.

Looking for $2350 ONO.

PM me if ya keen

Hi Guys,

I am picking up a VFR800 on the weekend but have a long ride home. Any advice on what settings would be appropriate for 90kg person? Would be good to ensure I have the easiest ride possible given the potential pre-Christmas anarchy.

Looking forward to the bike. Miss my old vfr400.

Cheers,

Phil.

Go about 1/4 turn on the adjustment located on your right handle bar

Depends on luggage for the shock, you might actually find it's about right given the tourer / two-up nature of the VFRs.

Cheers. I will be travelling pretty light as I don't intend to stop for very long en route from Tauranga to Wellington. Visiting someone in Ohakune as an excuse for an extended stop.
