Rubber flaps on an NC30

Post by ibby4585 »

Im fitting a rubber flap/wind deflector thingy to my Seed NC30 in the hope that it might cure a top end flat spot.

My question is. Does the lower flap/ the larger one point forwards and rest on the engine near the front spark plug leads or does it flip back towards the carbs??

I know the top flap rests under the carbs.

Ive checked all five of my NC30's and it appears the previous owners didnt have a clue either!!

I'm one of those 34 people... :oops:

I just cable tied it to the frame tube that runs in front of the airbox. Close enough!

Oh well, ive place on frame tube with the lower flap pointing forward it might make a difference to my flat spot.

I think the lower flap goes forward over the cam cover to direct the incoming cold air into the airbox, the upper flap under the cards to reduce hot air rising from the engine, into the airbox.

Thats the way I did it.

Or maybe thought "Jesus I haven't a clue, I ought to know but don't"
How hard can it be?

i have the big flat over the head covering the leads so it acts like a form of weather proofing and "hopefully" keeps the rain from getting near the front plugs. :? :? :?
