Re: Banoffee's NC30
Been busy with other toys and work this summer and autumn, so the NC30 got tucked away when a fork seal went. Got some time today so pulled the forks out and changed the oil and dust seals.
Am really pleased I invested in a fork seal driver as well as roof insulation and a radiator in the garage
Next up is a caliper strip and clean and a new rear tyre. Then the old girl will be back on the road ready for erm winter

Re: Banoffee's NC30
Good stuff. Mine needs exactly the same. Laid up in my parent's garage until I have the spare cash for fork seals, caliper seals, etc. Really sucks . Hopefully when I get the cash I can try and get it all done over a weekend and be rolling again :-)

Serviced it this week, found a load of feathers on the K&N! Running sweet and lovely fresh Castrol goodness.
Next up and waiting on the kitchen worktop are new Honda head bearings and seals as well as some stainless sprocket nuts and new EBC HH front pads.

Head bearings feel SO much better now. Blat to the coast, got wet and cold on the way back. Just finished cleaning it.
By the way, it sounded fantastic through the Hindhead tunnel

Re: Banoffee's NC30
Finally got rid of the shit bar ends and replaced with new genuine Honda ones and some shiny new stainless countersunk bolts.
Mmm... genuine Honda parts...

Happiness is a fresh MOT certificate (not that they are certificates these days...)
