My NC30 track bike project

Here's a couple of pics of my NC30 shortly after I got it last September (2009). It was pretty rough and if you look closely you can see things actually growing on it but it was straight and complete and it did actually run which was surprising as it had sat for at least 2 years prior to me getting hold of it.

A whole heap have parts have been removed and some replacements arrived.

It's still not complete as I want the bike to be a decent spec (I will probably race it at some point in the future) but I don't mind waiting for parts to come up at prices I'm prepared to pay but I stuck the bodywork on over the weekend and took a couple of pics but only this one came out half decent.

Image

Lots more to do and still need some stuff but it will be finished early in the new year. I will include the spec and take some more detailed pics in the next few weeks as I add more parts and get it closer to completion.

Thanks guys, more pics will follow after the weekend though progress has halted due to a sheared off exhaust stud.

Well it's fair to say the weekend has passed lol. Still no photos or progress unfortunately. I'm either going to pay someone to finish it off for me (any offers?) or break and sell it. As much as I'd like a track only bike I'm not sure I'll have much time to use it in the foreseeable future, nor do I have the skill to reassemble it or the spare cash lying around to finish it to the spec I'd hoped and with over £2000 in it up to this point it's very tempting to get shot.

That's a shame mate, there doesn't seem much to do, Just a final push!

Ok so I'm looking at picking up the bits I need/want to start to finish this thing off over the winter.

Generator. Do I want a modded GSXR one or BDK?

Radiators. Larger, reproduced standard ones (by geoff 33 or similar) or stick with stock? They have a few bent fins and look tatty but on the whole they're useable. The bike is destined for life solely on track.

Rear subframe. I've modified the stock one and like the fact it retains the original undertray (which I've trimmed down) but am aware an SES/Rick Oliver one would save a lot of weight. Can these race rear subframes be fitted with the original undertray?

I'm on the lookout for a 17" rear wheel and some clip ons too and then it's ready to reassemble. So anyone know of somebody (proffessional or talented amateur) not too far from Gainsborough, Lincs who would have the spare time and not charge the earth to take on the project?

Why bother with a fancy genni if its purely a trackbike? your throwing £300 down the drain there just for the pleasure of not having to plug into a trickle charger once during the day.
