My NC30 story

[zebulon]

Long time no see...

Meanwhile I sourced the fork/engine color with help of rsbikepaint.com
I ordered 8183 grey metallic and although it has no visible brown in it (remember "max brown metallic") , it worked

Early christmas today


with NC30 spagetti


and more


I couldn't withstand this


I know that some of you do not recommend this tray but I give it a try.
engine= airpump

I have one, but this does not justify the result, flash light is screwing it up.

My NC is a type 7 and originally has brownish forks apparently, is this the colour your trying to recreate??

Like this?

I like the headlights, they look big :-)

Euro bikes have bigger lamps than the JDM bikes I presume?

will they ever work again?????????


my set-up so far (no clue if this will work )
122 dynojets all around
0,5 washer
pilots 2,5 turns

Looks good.

Be wary of the dynojet jets though, they seem to flow differently to standard keihin ones. If your having trouble might just get some generic jets.
