Hi team, I'm after a few NC30 bits and pieces, so if anybody's got anything laying around they'd like to get rid of, let me know!
Looking for:
Tail lights
Headlights
Indicators
Choke
Idle adjuster
The rubber intake bit that plugs into the front of the airbox
A frame with live tags, if not too pricey
Thanks!

For those interested in such things, here is a link to a playlist of videos of a nice Scottish man who restores motorbikes. His latest? A tatty VFR400R NC30. Lot of work. Nice result.

I just watched the final one last night. It made me feel very lazy. The lengths he goes to to replicate factory finishes is really something.Originally Posted by HenryDorsetCase

Right? The anodizing and zinc plating and presumably yellow zinc is very impressive.
I am still looking at that $10k NC35

Just binged all 7 episodes. The final outcome was just perfect. (doesn't hurt that he has all the tools and equipment but nevertheless, outstanding)
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

I know prices on NC30s are getting a bit silly, but $5k for this seems a tad optimistic!

I'm also still looking for a live reg NC30 frame if anyone has one for sale.

I could broker a deal on one. 6k.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

This could be good buying for someone with a bit of time on their hands

Bit of a longshot, but does anybody have a good condition NC30 rear cylinder head for sale? Or a borked engine I could scavenge one off?
Unfortunately a questionable spark plug thread in my road bike has finally given up the ghost (it was a long time coming) and I'd rather not mess around with helicoils or re-tapping if I can just replace the head.
No8 Wire Extraordinaire
That's hardcore.
But if you have to take it off to replace, just pop it into an engine reconditioner and they can fit it for a nominal sum. It's their bread and butter.

Just weld the sparkplug in. They cost like $50 a pop so will last forever.

Not gonna lie, lathering it in JB weld was briefly on the options list...
You'll be pleased to know that the engine from your old track bike is currently in there while the annoyingly less reliable road bike engine one gets a refresh.
Hardcore Biker
Yeah I think that's probably what I'll end up doing as it'll be getting a top end refresh while it's apart anyway. Valve stem seals have needed replacement for quite some time!
"channellling the Pleideans"
Fantastic!
Really pleased that deal worked out and its getting used.
"Refreshing" the other motor could include a 444cc piston set, some bigger crabs and a turbo. Just saying.
