Oh and watch them with the volume up high

Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Could this be a pic of the NC30?

Thats the 1991 bike

Ive managed to upload a vid to youtube of it at the manx southern 100

The swingarm and rear subframe arrived back from bead blasting this morning




Cheers Timon you've done a fantastic job on these. Who needs fancy ali subframes when they come up looking this good, and im almost tempted to use the swingarm as it is without annodising im sure stephens works RC45 had a bare ali swingarm.

Cheers . Glad you're happy with them. Hopefully have the rest done soon for you.

You need any help other than blasting you've got my number.

Is that subframe just bead blasted then? No other prep?

just bead blasted at the mo, its going for zinc coating then maybe painted stock silver.

Tim, cheers pal

I've been a keen follower of Tim's NC30 rebuild on BCF since he started the thread and he's done some amazing things with that bike. I can see the benefit of zinc coating nuts and bolts but what is the advantage of zinc coating then painting the subframe?
