The NC30 thread! - Back on track!

[Brainchild]

Smev, could I ask you to take some pics of your subframe for me, please, if you haven't stripped it of its fasteners and the undertray yet? I've been after a series of 360 pics to help me build mine back up again but nobody has been doing anything that would allow for it. It would be a massive help if you could do this for me!...please...

[Smev]

No problem mate its all in one piece in my garage at the moment - pm me your email and I'll send some to you as soon as I get the chance.

I'm still polishing the swinger when I get the chance but it is a long and boring job! Its difficult to find the enthusiasm to do it after a long day at work - especially with a trip to Afghanistan looming again

I have recieved a few other bits for the bike and fitted them this week.

A clamp for my Ohlins Steering damper so I now have that fitted and today my trak-tech levers arrived and went on soo smoothly - I can't wait to get out and try it all out!!

Pics will follow soon!!

Another quick update -

The swingarm is getting close to being finished :D :D :D

Its just needing a little more allover sanding down with wet and dry and then the mops on it and it'll be good to go!!

Then fingers crossed I'll be able to get a few pics of it this weekend including the front end with the ohlins damper, translogic dash, and trak-tech levers.

I'll get the pics of the subframe for you too brainchild :)

so now your almost finished...fancy doing mine?!!! :D


nah just kiddin, looking forward to seeing it, hows the frame coming along, are the clocks working yet?

[Smev]

Not done anything on the frame yet - the plan is to sort out the swing arm first then refit it all so I have a rolling chassis and can move it down to my house and some electrical power - the garage doesn't have any plug sockets just a dim little light!

As for doing yours - Forget it!!! its way too much work!!

[Spike16]

so, extension cable across the road, thats what my dad and i did in our old house when we were working on his cars, pissed a couple of cars off that were driving across the road (was quite a busy road )lol, or could you not get away with that being mod housing?

good to hear its coming along on well tho

Bike looks great, that swing arm is class! Might thing about doing that myself. Nothing like spending a few hours in the shed working on the bikes.

[Smev]

I'd need to link about 5 together to get enough length!!!

Dar5150 - its a hell of alot of work - seriously think about it before going ahead with it!!

It'll be some years before I contemplate doing another one!!

[Smev]

Ok so here are a few pics of the various new bits :D

Enjoy!!!!
