My rebuild at last!!

Post by Jamboy » Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:51 pm

Lost the last tread on the old forum so I'll start a new one here.
I've started to rebuild my NC after a good year and a half now and I've taken some pics to show the progress.
I'll only put a few back up as most of the older members from the old forum will have seen this already.

To this with some powder coating done and new tyres, rebuilt forks

Rear brake line is now also through the swinging arm

Now got some trick alloy rads and a brembo front brake lever/master, and brembo front brake discs now also to go on.
Pics to follow at the weekend on those being fitted.

That's just making me jealous! I really need to rebuild my NC24 and powdercoat all the mild steel parts, time and money are the limiting factors plus a pregnant wife! I cleaned my pushbike last night after commuting through the winter and it took a good two hours, she came out 4 times to ask me how long I'd be/moan at me/tell me that she thought I was "only cleaning it"!!!

It's gonna look very nice when it's done Jamboy!

Hi Are you putting a bent end on your rear brake pipe as it connects to the caliper ? Cheers Alec

Alec you need a 90 degree elbow banjo to reconnect to the pipe, I'll be putting a pic up of this later this evening for all to see.

Posted before the 11 hr roll-back on the forum but it was along the lines of I have the same shock as you but mine being one that has been converted from use on an FZR400.

Now Im curious about the angle of the shock reservoirs banjo's and line as normally the reservoir would mount on the rhs of the subframe by the passenger rearset (I had to have mine swivelled in to the right when i had it serviced) but your line is pointing 90% to the left...is that on purpose? if is the reservoir going more of less in the normal place but on the other exhaust hanger side of the subframe?
