    Hi,

    Does anyone on here have any nc30/35 spares? After engine bolts, nc35 rubber flap, front wheel spacers, possibly a rear master cylinder (compression of current empty one sounds like air is coming out?), any nc35 fairings, instrument/front fairing brackets, nc30 tacho, chain/sprockets, nc35 front and rear lights, spare bolts for rear subframe and above parts, pillion pegs, exhaust system (all headers and muffler bar the rear small bit, nc35 front and rear seats, full lock set, top of triple t (my one has the lock holder shaved off).

    I probably need a few cables as well like the throttle grip/cables, maybe choke cable, clutch cable, possibly mount as well but haven't thought that far ahead.

    Project is in the shed and needs help!

    Yes its sitting in the corner of the garage looking sad. Still deciding what to do - I would quite like the 444cc motor thaat guy is trying to sell but the whole buying who knows what thing puts me off. But to rebuild my motor to that spec is $4 - $5k.

    Plus I have been so busy I havent had time think really. I did spend Labour day tidying up the shed and so I now have space to work on something if I can find the time and motivation

    True. The nc30 engine is pretty solid though, and talking to him either engine I think would be pretty safe. I've bought a few engines with unknown history now with no issues! Guy never replied back to me about the standard one!

    Any of those bits sitting there needing a home still?

    I have to say I haven't ridden my nc30 in about a year now. Cleaned out and dry stored the carbs, did valve clearances and oil filter change with full synth oil and battery on a tender, so should be sweet though. Having a kid does make me think twice - biker died on my daily commute the other day when a bus pulled out in front of him.

    Quick question. This (centre) bolt isn't reverse threaded or something stupid is it?

    yea clutch (I think) I don't recall Haynes saying anything special about it other than jam the cogs with a rag in lieu of the special tool (which keep getting chewed rather than this bolt budging).
    The end game is to remove the pistons as #1 is bypassing but this bolt is a stubborn bastard.

    I've got a compressor + rattle gun you can borrow if you'd like.. It'll fit in a car boot. Pickup in Khandallah.. or if you can trailer the bike over that works too.

    Cheers for the offer, tho I have the compressor (2 of 'em even) & I'll just borrow a rattle from work... What's the point of working somewhere if you can't use their toys, right?

    Was hoping to try tonight but alas I'm home & the rattles still at work

    Hello again VFRPS members,

    After leaving NZ for awhile and (foolishly) selling my NC30 I will be back for a month from mid January next year and will be doing a short motorcycle tour with some friends. Alas... I no longer have a motorcycle in NZ.
    I just thought I'd throw out some feelers and see if anybody has a cosmetically rough, but mechanically sound(ish) NC30 they'd be interested in selling.
    I specify cosmetically rough because I don't want to spend much, but it does need to be a WoFable, running bike as I won't have much spanner time available after arriving before setting off on a multi day ride.

    So if you have a sad neglected NC30 (or any other bike that fits the criteria) sitting in a garage somewhere that needs a home, let me know!
    My budget is $1500 to $2000ish, but for the right bike I might be able to stretch that a little bit.

    This could be a good buy if it goes cheap...

    Depends how cheap and how good you are at carbs. Chinese fairings,deregistered, so if you want one that looks good and road legal add another 1700-2k or so ( tugs aftermarket, more for oem).

    Yeah it'd certainly be a labour of love. Not something I'd be looking for as I'm gonna need something registered and running!
    It's always a shame to see Type 1 fairings all smashed up. They're so pretty.
