How rare are HRC NC35 race bits?

WHEELIETHIS · Post by **WHEELIETHIS** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 12:11 am

my nc35, which was brought to the states to race in 96 and put in storage since 99, has all the period race parts. who ever put it together followed the hrc race manual word for word. it has the hrc full exhaust, breather catch can, race wire loom, starter block off plug (saftey wired on the inside), radiators, steering stop, carb kit (just whats installed), over flow bottle, braided brake line set, plus all the standard race mods done. i am unsure about the air box lid. it has the snout and it is a clear resin mold. also unsure about transmission.
my question is how rare are these items? i have seen the steering stop and catch can for sale, as well as the same lid, just not clear.
are these irreplaceable treasures or just hard to come by? the radiators are wicked cool and i am trying to save them. got a few holes they do.

I'm definitely not an expert in the matter, but from my searching attempts I'd say the geniune HRC bits are very rare. I think you've got your hands on a very sort after bike, I'd need a few towels with me after all the drooling!!!

What have you got planned for the bike, racing or looking to sell?

That sounds like the kit airbox lid. The nc35 hrc manual recommends using the nc30 gearbox, unlike the nc30 no kit gear ratios were offered for it.

The nc35 hrc parts are hard to come by but most are not impossible to get hold of. You can still get most parts if you know where to look. However, a bike with full race kit is a rare thing outside of Japan. Sounds like you have a special bike on your hands.

Some of the nc30 f3 parts are very hard/impossible to find. I've seen only 1 hrc cdi for sale in 8+ years...

Edit: There's a translated copy of the rvf hrc manual on Mike's site:

AND they are even more difficult to get in the US.... Ask me how I know.. Now if you'd like to part with some parts let me know. Espeicially the exhaust.

thanks guys. well i had planned on using the exhaust(sorry cajun) the carb and air box set up, cdi and the rads if i can salvage the bottom one. this bike will never see the track while it is in my posession.(hopefully i dont get the track bug again) it will be a race inspired street bike. that being said, i might be willing to get rid of all the HRC stuff as there are viable replacements that will perform well on the street. whether i have peak hp at wide open, wont be as important as a smooth linear power band from the bottom to top for me.
i just checked, the cdi is an HRC. how many functions does the HRC cdi change?
when i have a list of buy and keep i will post here to let you all know. i will be looking mostly for trades.
