Long time no see...

Meanwhile I sourced the fork/engine color with help of rsbikepaint.com
I ordered 8183 grey metallic and although it has no visible brown in it (remember "max brown metallic") , it worked

Early christmas today


with NC30 spagetti


and more


I couldn't withstand this


I know that some of you do not recommend this tray but I give it a try.
engine= airpump

I have one, but this does not justify the result, flash light is screwing it up.

great threadZebulon. Where in the world are you located?

My NC is a type 7 and originally has brownish forks apparently, is this the colour your trying to recreate??

Like this?

No, yours looks even more brownish.

A picture of my brand new NC30 in 1992, sold a few month later after only a couple of hundreds km

Original paint scheme is awesome!!
My gf is from Germany too. An hour from Hannover.

I like the headlights, they look big :-)

Euro bikes have bigger lamps than the JDM bikes I presume?

Did some work over the weekend

traditional measurements:
steel frame


alu frame



another -2,6kg loss
battery -2,25kg
tyga pipes -2,9kg
maybe 500gr for all the bolts I replaced

still to measure
silencer, alloy meter stay, alloy upper stay, carbon air box,
not yet ordered :alloy clip-ons and handlebars, maybe more alloy parts I don't know about yet

reassembling startet :

will they ever work again?????????


my set-up so far (no clue if this will work )
122 dynojets all around
0,5 washer
pilots 2,5 turns

Looks good.

Be wary of the dynojet jets though, they seem to flow differently to standard keihin ones. If your having trouble might just get some generic jets.
