NC30 engine sacrifice???

Post by Indiana Jones » Sat Jan 07, 2012 8:24 pm

I just picked up a good NC30 engine for a nominal amount.
I need its gearbox for my race bike.
It hurts me to open it up and gut it but I know it has had an easy life and its transmission should be in good condition.

What should I do?
Should I sacrifice it for the good of it's racing sibling or should I hold tough and wait for a gearbox?
There is a gearbox for sale in the buy/sell section but the price keeps going up.

Would you give me the motor for a gearbox I have sitting.

I have a motor apart and want it put back together so this would sort us both out.

I just reread what I typed and what I meant is I'd give you the complete motor in parts for your motor. I want to have it built and running so this would sort us both out.

I've had a think about it.
Thanks for the offers but it's raining outside and my build has to continue today.
I'm going to remove the gearbox and replace it as soon as I can pick one up.
So it's not so much a sacrifice, more a donation.
The logistics of getting the motor up north would slow things down too much.
Once the engine is back together and if you're still in need, we can sort something out.
Thanks again.
