Only kidding mate - Its pretty much what I have done. Just waiting for a few extra little bits now and again.

Re: my ultimate upgrade list
well its everything iv seen and thought, yeh il do that, it just happens iv seen your bike the most lol
but there's some bits u havent got, R&G'S steering damper (i think), but more importantly its all the stuff a well modded nc30 should have, its not overboard and its not stupid with stuff like anodised bolts etc but then it will still stick out in a crowd
so smev when you gona do a steve hislop rep scheme then? then who will be copying who?
just messing m8, but I will never be able to afford a translogic setup..... unless..... how much are kidneys worth?

Re: my ultimate upgrade list
why would you put a quick action throttle on a road bike?

Re: my ultimate upgrade list
well im on 33bhp and to be honest i think id be more comfortable with less movement in the throttle from off to on, im sure its very different on a full power bike

Re: my ultimate upgrade list
The Ducati front end would sort out the usd front better brake set up in one go.
Need any used Nc30 parts? Want to fit a Ducati front end to your Nc30? If so give me a shout.

Re: my ultimate upgrade list
I agree with Riley - just tried out the Ducati 749 set up and its awesome! I can't believe how late and hard I could brake on the recent trackday I went on. From full on top speed into a 120 degree corner, and only started braking at the 100m marker!!
How good is that?!!!
Levers, R&G's, and steering damper are all on their way when money permits!
I like my paint scheme so sticking with that. A Hislop rep is cool, its like standard with subtle differences.
