    These were my 300 barrels for sale , we made a deal on the custom 300 pipes that Neels made for me .
    After you have raced a decent 300 , all the other proddy 250's will feel as tho it has dropped a cylinder

    It would, but I have only just got past the fall out from my 2nd VFR purchase I made recently. Trying to see if I can get a bucket into the garage without her noticing...

    New purchase is a 1989 NC30, should be up and running for summer with a bit of attention to detail and some loving. Can't wait to see how she compares to my NC24 in handling/power/awesomeness. Racing the NC24 this weekend in CAMS pre '89 F3, hoping to not come last

    Paint them all the same colour and cycle them around the shed and undercover. Mine can't seem to count past 2...

    Yep,
    the guy from Auckland who bought my Zxr450 said he paints his all White with a red number board. His mrs cant differentiate between them all and cycles them through his garage / storage lockups.

    This idea dose work, as I have tried and tested. It's only when the little Fulla (who maybe 2 but has a better idea of which bike is which) spills the beans to this wife....

    Bloody good racing over the weekend! The VMCC series definitely has my vote, there were so many races and not all of them were even run!
    Photos and race report up tonight. I'm dooling over a NSR300 now after the weekend, damn my wallet can only handle so much.
    Haa no it didn't eat anything,just need to replace parts a little more often,nothing serious.
    Even though I only did qualifying I still enjoyed me day,cool new classes and catching up with everyone.

    Well, according to the doctor I'm not allowed to race for 6 months in the mean time I'm considering building an F3 bike from a half complete NC30 I've acquired from Autech (in exchange for helping him with his NC30). Since my racing background is in F4 and I love fucking with bikes I'm hoping to cobble something together and make a real frankenstein of a bike. Currently it has a frame, complete rear end, triple clamps, electrics, tank, some front brake components and most of a molested looking engine in pieces. I'll probably end up putting a different motor in it if I can't find cheap parts for the stock one.

    First things first! It needs a front end. Who has some 41mm conventional forks they'd sell me

    I'm hoping to end up using a 17" rim on the front, I've heard it's possible to use the front end from a completely different bike by swapping out the clamp stems with a press?

    Give me your advice and opinions guys.

    NC30 always had a 17" front. Its a 17" rear that you really need!
    Several options for front end conversions..
    Daytona 675
    ZXR 400
    NC35
    Ducati 748/749/916/996/998/999

    So many threads on 400 greybike about front end conversions I can't list them all!

    Awesome! I did see some early NC30 forks in 'average' condition for $250 recently, that seemed a wee bit expensive though considering they're the inferior fork and only in 'average' condition...I mean I just sold some 'average' inverted cartridge kdx250 forks for $80

    Has the route been taken, of changing suspension and geometry on an MX bike?

    The good shit is all ready there, it just needs a bit of fucking about to make it road oriented rather than dirt.

    Yea its been done, rode against a 450 dropped and road-modded at Manfeild and wangas. Seemed to go ok, but you never know until you ride it I suppose.

    Don't the Americans do 450 super mono or something which is mx chassis based?

    Yeah bro. You can buy kits to go with a bike that includes a fairing and everything.

    The chassis is every bit as good as an RS, seems like an easier way to go.

    Bit pricey, but can be done cheaper.
