NC24 Tank

Post by Insanum » Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:02 pm

Hey everyone, in a bit of a situation;

Ive recently been given an old NC24 that my brother (and boss) had sat at the back of his unit. When he got it was pretty much complete, but over the space of 3-4 years he's sold all the panels bar the rear undertray, and (and this one is the real kicker) he also sold the gear lever (for around £10..someone got a bargain somewhere...).

Anyway, after searching for a track bike he gave me the NC24 to restore. So far ive picked up a riders seat, and discovered a 2009 Kawasaki's ER6 gear lever is compatable with the NC24 too (handy!) - so now im on a mission to find a tank.

Colour isnt an issue, as its all got to be sprayed anyway, but they're so rare ive not seen a one yet.

Anyone know the best place to get one?

There were a couple on ebay not long back, I think the NC21 tank will fit seeing as they're largely the same bike (Neo is the best person to check with though)

thanks buddy, im fairly certain the NC21 is compatible, but they seem equally as rare...

Yes the NC21 tank will fit as the frames are the same.

Try posting some adverts in the forsale / wanted section, just be a case of waiting.

if it comes on ebay it might be quite expensive as many people on here post that they have fuel tank problems (rusted holes etc)

I have a spare tank, got a dent in the side (fairly large) and no key for the lock so will need lock picking.

If your interested PM about it
