NC23 Project (Ive bitten off more than I can chew)

[LozVTR]

Hi everyone,
Some of you may remember that I started a project NC23 a while back. This was my first project and it was going well. Due to 2009 being a hectic year, getting married, buying house, no time or money. The 23 has stood redundant for a while now, heres the original post:

The problem now is ive not got a clue where to pick it back up from. I made the amateur mistake of ripping the bike to bits and now ive not got a clue what goes where and to be honest ive lost all inspiration to find out....lol

The idea of the bike is now a track only bike so no road gear, so what im thinking is.....

Do I break the bike and sell off all of the bits (apart from things like brake discs, stainless exhaust etc) and try to make enough money to buy a running nc23 which is in need of cosmetic and a few minor mechanical bits, or do I try to plod on with this bike?
To be honest all I will need is a running Nc23, it doesnt need fairing or road gear but I think il be abit more enthusiastic if I do one small job at a time rather than pulling the whole thing apart and then thinking...s**t where does that bit go.

Any thoughts, words of wisdom or anyone knowing of a running nc23 going cheap???

cheers
Loz

it is easy to put one back together.... get stuck in!! Just takes some time..get a rolling chassis and then fit the motor and from there on in you are rocking

Loz, i thought the same this time last year when i first stripped a bike down. Like Mark says, get your rolling chassis together then its just one small job after another, you will also feel great after youve done it! Then once you have done it, you will find it easier to do again. Go on, go for it, youve got all the help you need on the forum. Im in the process of putting my track nc29 back together, heres the link if it any use....... http://www.400greybike.info/newforum/vi ... =28&t=5075" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good luck

Chris.

I did it from scratch.... once you get a chassis rolling you are in..

Get everything clean,lay it out and make a start.Get a manual so you know roughly what you are looking at,and do a bit each evening.When you get stuck ask on here.Buying something else would probably be more of the same.This lot will know anything you need.Go on,get in there!

What sort of money would you be looking for if you sold it as a job lot as it is right now? I'm after a project NC23 to build up and fit a Tyga kit to so I wouldn't need the plastics or front lights.
