Will get some pictures up soon.

Bikes running really really really good now.

Time to take it back to the dyno. I expect around 60hp (factory issue)

Since the last post i've put in a new air-filter.

The right hand rear cowl I brought in type 6 to replace my broken seed panels was missing the decal! I couldnt' get a new decal as Honda have discontiniued them. Luckily I managed to get a new old stock rear side panel which is on the bike. Lovely job.

The TTF3 HRC Kit RC30 rear shock and linkages is fantastic. Even though it's from a 91 bike (it was fully rebuilt and overhauled 2 years ago.. many new shocks arn't upto the quality of the stuff they made for the RC30.

Shame the HRC shocks dont' come with bump stops.. never bottomed it out but for peace of mind i'd like one!)

Got the suspension dialed in quite well now.

Next thing is to get a set of BT-90's on it for the summer as the dunlops have almost gone.

Brought a clutch tool as I want to inspect the clutch, it's fine but it doesn't seem to fully release.. I suspect a worn basket..

Thought i'd give the thread a small update.

Replaced the old sun bleached resevoir cup and cleaned the brakes / changed the fluid

Brakes had become a little soft over the last 12 months since I last changed the fluid, perhaps a slight amount of air was present but I spent today bleeding them up without rushing.

Clened up the crap off the pistons too, although there was very little and it washed off easy enough

Spot on now, can upend the bike with minimal effort if you want to, more braking power that i'd ever need on the road, even gunning it. Always amazed at how good the OEM brakes were on the NC30 compared to the previous generations of VFR. It's like throwing an anchor off the back.
