I have a totally standard inlet, and just said to Rick I wanted some jets to suit that and the exhaust and he sent me 120's :up: I'll consider his needles, but atm haven't noticed a significant flat spot (stock needles with a .5mm washer) If the FI needles aren't worth bothering with, then they'll stay in the carbs until I need the spare set, at which point they can be replaced with the RO ones :)

It is going to be rich and nasty with the FI gear and 124 DJ jets..

Remember that lean makes the power.... ;)
As above, the 124's and FI stuff is in my spare set, and will stay there until they're needed or the bodies are needed, and then they'll be replaced with useful stuff :)

Sweet mate, thanks, when you're over this way let me know and I'll get the kettle on for you if I'm in, I owe you at least that and some beer tokens :up:

Here's the video, the CBR has always smoked like that when it's cold, it clears up after riding gently for a mile, will do it for ages if left to idle though. The VFR had been running for 8-10 minutes, and was creeping up the guage a bit, it spat black once or twice more after this video, but after a thrash up the road behind our house it stopped, can only assume it was a bit of grot in the exhaust, or burning off the WD40 residue in the inlet rubbers from where I put the carbs on :up:

Here's a couple of pics, now that it's all ready to go back together. The solo cowl is on, it really needs rubbing down, some scratches smoothing/filling and then resprayed to match in with the rear plastics, similar to the Silhouette rear end (I'll upload a pic later)

Thanks :up: It's quite loud, you barely notice the CBR when they're both at idle, and to think, I wanted some stubby cans on it :roll:

Right, an update not entirely dominated by the NC30!

I've decided to replace all of the screws with standard Honda ones, so have a set of pro bolts for the seat unit and between the headlights going spare if anyone needs some.

The NC23 has been treated to a set of replica HRC velocity stacks courtesy of GF Racing (yet another great transaction, couldn't have been more helpful :up: ) I'll get a pic as soon as they arrive

Screws from Honda are here :up: I've started to put the panels back on, and have nearly finished, I just need 2 panel clips (I can't think of the proper name for them, they're like a folded strip of metal with a screw thread on one side, that fit over the tabs on the plastics) and everything will be properly secure :D The new bolts look really pukka IMO I'll get some pics as soon as I'm done :up:
