Tax disc holder can go on left hand side of the upper part of the frame, theres an empty slot for a bolt.

If you need a tax disc holder, text me your address and I'll get a stainless frame bolt and tax disc holder posted to you.

How many insurers did you call before you accepted the policy?

I'll stop in at halfords on the way to the post office tomorrow, I'm sure they had some in the bike section. Is the bolt already there?

No point paying £15 for a holder and bolt if I can do it for free.

Text sent! Can you do it tomorrow? Want to minimise the time spent riding without it displayed properly.
Cheers mate

First ride today, only went the neighbourhood. Very different from riding my YBR125 (obviously) seems much faster even though it's restricted. Throttle seems much more sensitive (ie. need to turn it a lot less to launch the bike, I kept occidentally revving it then having to wait for the revs to drop before releasing the clutch) sports bike riding position was obviously a bit of a change but i don't think it will be a problem for long.
Thankyou to everyone on this site for bringing me towards these bikes!

When I first rode my NC30 after having my YBR it felt like a rocketship, but I soon got used to it and got annoyed with the restrictors.....

Looks lovely and clean though, got yourself a nice one there ;)

Haha does indeed, just keep telling myself it's really powerful and I must be real gentle etc.

Yeh it is :) no complaints there, big thansk to Alex. There's a few fairings marks cracks etc. but nothing I'm worried about. Looking under the bike around the rear shock looks a bit mucky but I know mechanically everything is spot on!
