Honda Britain nc30

[Tim400GB]

Couldn't put old horrible fasteners onto freshly painted wheels


So I blasted them and gave them to the zinc coaters


And the tyres have turned up


All on target to get it all fitted to the bike for this sat...hopefully

[Tim400GB]

Fixings back from the zinc coaters



Just waiting on the wheels now

[Tim400GB]

Spent the morning on the bike, was very eager to pick the wheels up to say the least.

I got the old wheels off, these will become my track day set to make the most out the tyres before they are scrap. I changed the disc's over to keep the gold centred ones on the gold wheels.


I was going to fit these, but the diameter of the hole was too large for the valve.


Promptly got the tyres fitted.


Fitted the disc's with the new bolts, then re-balanced it.


Fitted the rear to the bike, easy jobs first


With the new coated nut.


With the new larger 8's on, this is my Carl Fogarty Honda Britain TT winner replica 100% done, she's not perfect by a long shot but I think she's turned out pretty well and am very happy with her.

Yes yes yes gold wheels FTW. Love it

[jim157]

Very smart. Gold wheels are the icing on the cake for that period of race reps.

Tim looking the nuts buddy, anyone told you, you have OCD? :D

[Tim400GB]

Cheers, yes ocd has cropped up
Went for a little trip to Brands to get some better pics





Note to self: must finish bike ealier to get into the calendar

[lukemillar]

Nice! That is what I am hoping to do with my wheels at some point

[Tim400GB]

Been looking at the calipers on this bike and thought they would be better suited to the trackbike. The stock brakes are much more in keeping with the race rep scheme.

So I pulled the old ones out and took the billet ones off.


Pushed the pistons out as far as they could go and cleaned them up, cleaned up all the pins and anti-rattle springs and the bodies.

All apart


Back together


The Bike is due the MOT and a general service too, so that'll all be happening soon ready for the summer.

it is lovely.

For me though...and nit picking.. too many stickers - the MIchelin fork stickers and the goodridge mudguard ones are too much.

Like it.
