F. Yeah, I read it should have silver forks. Other things to do first though

nice tidy looking motor u got yourself there.
same colour scheme as mine, obviously R/W/B is the best scheme to have

[alexwitham]

great looking nc you got there.

t cut....hmm. ive always given the idea of t-cutting my paintwork a thought, but never actually done it. does it actually work?

[Sam]

Very nice. Well done.

Just one question... whats this earthing upgrade kit?

[banoffee]

regarding t-cutting, I actually used rubbing compound. has worked really well everytime I've used it and really freshens up tired paintwork. then followed by lots of turtle-wax's finest and elbow grease. it made a huge difference on both this bike and my other 80's toy, a GSXR750 (which often gets comments on how good the paint looks for 23yrs old...)

the earthing kit I got from Rick Oliver. it earths the coils, battery, loom to the engine. I was having charging problems and they are cheap so decided to give one a go. not sure if it makes a huge difference but the theory of better earthing is a good one.

[banoffee]

also - just remembered that having looked at 2 other NC30's in the colour scheme that I have some gold stripes missing from the fairing sides. have ordered some from ebay :)

[banoffee]

Some new toys arrived today so it seemed rude not to fit them right away

Special order Fuel stainless oval can - 400mm sleeve length and no badge
