Don't lose hope like I have ,my bikes been sitting there for the last 6 months and all I do is buy new bits for it as finances allow and for when I get motivated enough to finish it off

If you ever get it down to manfield and on the track It would be cool to see another nc29

Tell you what.....you finish yours...I'll finish mine...and we'll meet at Manfield to show them off!!

What parts do you need to finish your bike off & where are you based??

I'm based in Palmerston North

I just have to finish fibre glassing the rear tail section then fill it and sand it then I can get the new fairings and tank painted ,finish rewiring the rear taillight ,finish adjusting the clutch ,order a new front tyre then get the tyres fitted ,then its pretty much ready to go after filling with fluids and bleeding the brakes

I want to get a new exhaust can and get that fitted as the one on it now was damaged in a crash and looks a bit rough but its usable for now

Ok after writing it all down I haven't got much to do at all just need to get motivated and do it

Haha yeah you don't actually have that much to do at all mate!! Palmy Nth is only a 90 minute ride. Get your bike done and I'll come for a ride.

As the owner of too many part finished bikes, don't put it into storage - the finish line isn't that far in the distance. You'll only make more work for yourself as by the time you drag it out again, you'll have forgotten what needs doing and what has already been done - you know it makes sense....
