    C) recommend rearsets

    any help would be good

    Also have serious (& seal damageing) pitting on front stanchions so ideas & costs for a grind rechrome, new stanchions or what would be good full shock replacement would be cool

    cheers
    the leads on my NC35 are inseperable from the coils - and as some kind fuckwit didn't put on of the leads on properly in the past i'm now running an NC30 coil/leads in place of the damaged unit. been fine for over 12 months of daily commuting now....

    probably would have helped if you mentioned they were NC30 forks then

    rechrome etc is about $300, but i can't remember where that quote came from....

    I'd suggest you get the proper front end seeing as you're looking for a decent rear setup also

    why bother? I've seen "normal" levers on trademe for less than 20 bucks.... cycletreads might have those shorty ones available anyway so consumer guarantees etc for around the same price

    More leverage, less knuckle crushing lol.
    I might go see ct and see what it would cost, although I was looking at geniune pazzos in suzuki/triumph for 150 each lever

    Does anyone know where I can get a NC30 screen brace? I walked into one of my mirrors a while ago and "twang"

    Thanks.

    you mean those metal frame things that are a mission to find even genuine?

    if you find a straight one without buying a whole new bike, TELL US

    Yeah, when I went did a coro loop with two other NC30s I could see their perfect screen braces

    I've emailed econohonda so I'll see what that's like.

    Yeah, the brace is perfect on mine, but the right hand side bolt seems to be stripped out in the frame though... Need to pull it out and helicoil it.

    check before you buy (not that you can tell if it's not on the bike)

    I went to get a tank from them and after driving all the way there both tanks had crash damage


    on my old viffer I managed to bend mine back into shape pretty well using a long pipe and a LOT of patience, but no such luck on the riffer.

    Also, some fibreglass fairings just aren't very good.

    My 35GBP footrests and hangers and stuff arrived yesterday. They look all right, particularly for the money. I was pissy because I thought I had ordered silver and got black, but on checking I ordered black by mistake. They'll be fine for my use (spares for the trackbike).

    If I remember I will bolt them up on my other VFR and take a snap

    Na I have original fairings. I'm going to attempt to get it welded again.

    I've had a very average service from econohonda but their response time is pretty good. But 112.50 for a gear lever

    Awesome! I'd love to know what you think of the quality and fit?

    I need a wiring loom complete (for an NC30) if anyone has a spare. And maybe a CDI
