This is gonna be nicer than some of the alledged trick bikes on here mate...

Looking good Paul, wheels should be back later this wek or early next, been delayed with my manx trip sorry.

Ali, not a problem mate, not really in a rush for them, could do with the disks sharpish though

There in my garage if you need um.

Can't help but notice that as the project has moved on your garden has improved.

You have cut back those weeds and replaced them with a couple of indoor house plants that have made a run for outdoor freedom, its like a 'total makeover'.................

CRM,

Since I no longer have the NC I will have a butchers in my garage and see wahts lurking around that you can have.

Nigel, the mrs needs thanking for that. i went out to the midlands dyno day on the RC30, she had been doing some gardening for me.
Its moved on a bit since too, fitted the loom (roughly) then bolted the subframe on, rear caliper and brake, undertray, secured the loom, and tightened it all up. fitted the new clocks and headlamp assembly (to discover that the right hand headlamp doesnt take either a jap or UK bulb - wierd)
to top it off when wiring it all up, to my horror discovered that the chappy i bought the loom from had sold me a chopped race loom, so as i sit for 5 mins trying to work out where the hell the headlamp plugs are the penny drops as i franticly look at the fact i need to tear it all down again to fit another loom.

Stuart, thanks v much, all appreciated and of course some beers to compenstate.

My shopping list is slowly closing in, i deffo need a white V panel to complete the bodykit and a tank breather and rubber tank mount at the front. a full set of fairing bolts i think (may have a few semi chewed spares which will be fine)
Brake return spring, and brake pedal rubber.
left hand peg and bolt, (think i have sourced a gear change lever and bits thanks allan mc)
got carb clips, need fuel delivery pipe from tank to first T, and vacuum pipe, battery, ah the list goes on and i still dont know if the damn thing runs.

Anyway i will get another pic of it with a bit more meat on.

At the end of the day its a budget build which so far owes me in excess of 900 quid. if its a runner for a grand and i use my tatty bodykit i guess if i sold it for 1300 quid then i'm still in the black, but lets not lose sight its a bike i am building as i am selling the ever so dreary 600RR and pos my mint UK NC30, and i have a bike i can use, get dirty, not care too much about and enjoy and dare i say throw some luggage on and take on a euro trip. i feel quite at home on NC30's, comfy enough for me, and quick enough for my ageing body if the truth be known too.
