Me too. Now I'm searching for two of those little fuckers. Not in the oil pan...

Hope you find / found 'em!

Found one...I had to take the cams and gears out. The second one isn't in the motor. I have no idea where it went. It's probably under the tool chest or lift somewhere.

Replaced the two crappy front ht leads with some nice new NGK leads.

I went to the Raven cafe on the A41 as the sun was shining..

I had a chat with a chap who said his brother had just bought an NC30 and he spoke very highly of the bike.

I installed my new EBC HH front pads and bleed the system from empty. Even with back bleeding with syringes it was a pain in the bum.

After a couple of weekends worth of fiddling around, found out yesterday that it still runs.

New 090s en route, the current items were made in 2003

Did a few bits and pieces on the VFR tonight...

Put some plastic contact over the original Japanese stickers on the chain guard (still look a little creased and bubbly but much better than before!)

Rummaged through a box of old spare parts and found a small rubber strap for underneath the pillion seat (to hold my IOM TT stand plate). Also bought a couple of spanners to finish off the tool bag.

I'm pretty happy with how snug everything sits under the seat now!

Cleaned and serviced both my girls ready for Oulton Park this weekend, I am riding 17 and Dominic Herbertson will be riding #7 for me as well as our Supertwin just as testing ready for the TT in few weeks time.

Got outside the artist in me








also some c/k reinforcements added to mounting points

Should have done this ages ago, finally, the 2003 090s have been replaced...
